Phins to do a repeat of 1972!

After all that effort you'd be glad she said yes!

Gary Numan - Down in the Park

Hopefully this seasons winner will at least be state league standard

Garry Hocking on his way to Norwood?
Jarman alluded to this about 2-3 months ago. I remember laughing at the time but he said that Hocking will replace a SANFL coach that would be sacked at seasons end
And Jarman is normally a fair way off the pace so if he gets this one right it will surprise us all.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Hope you enjoyed the day mate. Live it up!

I like Bob Murphy, felt sorry for him but it's not the first time a captain has missed a winning grand final, and won't be the last.

The one who I really did feel sorry for:

A spinner* with a hattrick at the WACA

* loosely defined as a spin bowler

Aka no one else wanted him

Smart move by the Crows. If you've got someone of his abilities and knowledge, you'd be stupid not to use it. Isn't it similar to what they did with JPod in 2015?

The inquest/witch hunt going on about Phil Hughes death. This isn't soon anyone any good. No it's not the fault of the NSW Blues for their tactics. It's not Doug the Rugs fault for any comment he may or may not have made.

Lawyers getting richer and for what?

Maybe we'll have plenty of "organic growth"

Victory to the Bangers!

10 wickets fall after the tea break and Eng go down by 108 runs

100 for Weatherald! From 101 balls

Designated driver?

1.98 batting points this innings to go with the 1.5 bowling points, should add another 6 to that. Very nice

So we give Dalton or Winter a go and see if they are up to it. If with either of them aren't, then we go looking for someone interstate.

White as captain?
White in the team?

Callum Ferguson and Joe Mennie join Paul Wilson, Graham Manou, Dan Cullen and Peter George as SA's "One Test Wonders" in the last 20 years.

This type of match shows why Test cricket is so good

4 wickets @74 in 5 shield matches this season. Great bowler!

Stupid Melbourne weather!

Grand Final is the only game that should be at the Adelaide Oval

I rate DM highly, very solid album. Hardwired, still getting used to it, it's a different style of album, grows more on you each time you hear it

The most important part of the comp isn't where the money comes from, how many people turn up to watch, or even the standard of the comp. The most important part is girls growing up and playing the game now have a clear pathway in the sport that's actually meaningful

If you're using the standard of the game as a reason to bag it you're completely missing the point of it

Raphael isn't up to it
Weatherald is out of form
Ferg shouldn't play next game

It's a long list, but David King tops it

Rusty Cage is in and ready to dominate!

So this happened tonight

I've never cheered Shaun Marsh on as much as I am right now

Be interesting to see if Butcher works hard to win his own ball given he won't have an AFL midfield delivering him the ball. Nothing in his career so far has suggested he will.

On his best day he's a poor man's Allan Bartlett.

For all the criticisms of Butcher that you could throw around about him, his work rate was never one of them.

I give them a stupid chance as its at the MCG.....

I do, WC are a hard team to gauge at the minute, only just got over the line against the saints at home

Very good win by Glenelg last night, they had more composure with the ball than we did. McBean looks a great pick up for them. Our backline was absolutely smashed. Glenelg has 27 scoring shots from 41 inside 50s to ports 20 from 57, just shows how easy Glenelg forwards had it. Arch was Ports best by a country mile, and Marshall is raw but looks like he could be anything. Pittard and Krak are clearly a class above SANFL level but they just didn't get enough of it to be damaging. Lobbe, Neade and Toumpas are a constant liability and the sooner they are moved on the better for Port.

Glenelg Oval is still a shit place to watch footy and the lights are substandard

Quiet one on Good Friday, just some jobs around the house to do as the missus heads to
Norway for a couple of weeks. Bucks party on Saturday

Wish I had more hands so I could give this news four thumbs down

Crowd 6,098.

Think the Crowd at Encounter Bay might give that number a shake.

I'm hearing there's a heap of South supporters heading down to the game.

I managed to get a photo of them all embarking on their road trip

Agree with both calls
