AFL 2017 - Prelim - Adelaide v Geelong, Adelaide Oval, Fri 22/9, 7.20pm ACST

[Conan Troutman]

Righto

So it wasnt high?

 

[caitsith01]

Not convinced that was intended to be a bump from Sloane. Reckon he was gonna tackle but Danger closed the distance quicker than he expected and they pretty much just crashed into each other hence both guys flying backwards on impact.

Should have been a free kick though, right.

 

[The King!]

Not sure what Adelaide supporters are feeling. Adelaide should get home from here but I just don't know if I can trust them. Maybe it's the Melboourne supporter in me but I feel Adelaide can at times struggled to stop a team with momentum.

Do melbourne supporters traditionally not trust Adelaide?

 

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

A state turns its weary eyes to the Tigers

I wouldn't look to them. They're in for a big shock tomorrow

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Exactly. Not even debatable. The rabid Dangerfield hatred is incredible.

The umpire didn't see it.....just like they never see Selwood dip at the knees, roll the shoulder and lift up the elbow.

Amazing consistency by the umps, to be fair.

 

[Aramis]

Selwood brothers free kick tally update anyone?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Look cats a chance if can kick next 9

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Thanks for coming to his rescue

'Rescue' from what?

Your scathing wit?!

Its all good man it was a flippant comment, Im on your team tonight

If Sloane doesn't cop a game for that the afl is a rigged farce of a comp.

Whether you like it or not high contact on a bump has been games. Plenty of players have copped a month off for the same or lesser. See hartletts hit on seb tape where he hit Seb and they clashed heads. Weeks. And that has been the standard for years now.

From a Power supporter, who would've thought.

Seriously it wasn't that bad. Both were going the ball, both braced at the last moment?

Hoping that the best players are playing in the big dance next week...

 

[My name geoff]

Not like the afl to have the two longest Grand final drought teams playing each other in a grand final

Especially a year after Gil's 'happiest sporting day of his life' with the longest premiership drought ending

contact was below his chin into the upper chest
Danger played it up and walked off fine after 20s lying on the field like he'd been ko'd
no head high contact
no chance he is even cited.

I'm not saying anything until the siren is sounded.

I'm used to heartbreak with Adelaide.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Danger is such a flog.
Sloane is a superstar

You're kidding, right?

 

[demondavey]

Can't believe the Dangerfield hate. Some people need to seriously get a grip and think before they speak. He has actually kept them alive. **** me, some of you people are just pathetic.

 

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

just hand the crows the cup been the best all year

Wow, reach deep into your jocks, just south of your pecker you will (hopefully) find your balls

He has kept them in the game you moron

Thanks for recognizing my scathing wit, the Mrs normally just rolls her eyes

Since when in the history of high bumps getting weeks have they taken into consideration it was an "accident" or the player just "misjudged" it.

Billy. Billy. Billy.....
Try to Slater.
Storm 12 - 0

 

[SA HAWK]

Without the dodgy umpiring this would be over but Cats still not without a chance.

Oh here we ****ing go

 

[gavaniacono]

Sloane should get cited for not doing more damage.

Why do you say that?
