3 of our 11 goals were from defenders and 1 from an ex-defender (DBJ). All goals were important in such a tight game but the defenders goals do stand-out

You don't suppose the Adelaide media will pay as much attention to the missed high tackle free to Boak in front of goal as they did Dawson's? No, me either.

Is Boak whining about it?

 

[philreich]

We should beat the Gold Coast comfortably, but who knows really.

A first half like the Hawthorn game will do nicely, thanks.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It was wet and muddy out there, can we find our own Poo Boy?

We should carry on about it all week in the media and get the AFL to admit they got it wrong

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Is Boak whining about it?

No, he's not an entitled whiner.

Anyone got the still images from the goal line from Houston’s goal and Aliir’s save against Sydney?

2 absolutely clutch moments that gave us 8 points instead of 0 by the barest of margins.

 

[Jason K]

O oh, I hope Ken doesn't lose the plot over this arrangement. He didn't look too impressed with Findlaysons comments when asked about Kens influence from the bench.

At the risk of getting "you won't believe what he said", what did he say?

Yep. We're about 5 cumulative inches away from being on track to play week 1 of finals at the Gabba.

Two big elephants in the room. One is our reliance on just Lycett as a ruck and failing to get games into a backup may cost us dearly come September. The second is our tall forwards, I wonder if Dixon will even get there

We've proven we cope without Dixon.
We just lower our eyes.

Rucks an issue, we just go into denial.

If we don't believe in them do we actually need them?

In the Sydney one commentators were saying there were "just millimetres" in it (it was the length of AA's arms actually) - I haven't heard the same said about this one, but I reckon Dan's kick was about the same distance past the line as Florent's was short of it.

I just hope the Bombers take out their frustration on the Tingles next week.

They need to win or will likely fall out of the eight.

 

[powermacs]

Was that the one who told Houston he doesn't have to blow the whistle on a mark of a 14.5m kick?

Yep.

Worst in the league by a mile. The cult like behaviour around drug cheat Hird was bizarre. They tend to have more assaults and punch ups than any other supporters as well. Their absolute shitness for 20 odd years is well deserved.

Sat just behind the cheers squad last night. 3 Essendon supporters sitting right in the middle of us. I may have told a 12 year old to shove it up his arse at the end of the game but I feel he deserved it. They knew exactly why they were sitting where they were.

Hello?

Essington played their grand final last night. Crom will spank them

kick goals from much further out in Maggie's games so I was reasonably confident he could get the distance last night even with a wet ball, and geez didn't he hit it sweetly that was a goal from the moment the ball left his boot.

Except for the demons inside the heads of the Adelaide players whenever they board a plane - we'll see.

 

[Marmozet]

Good morning.

My free coffee tastes very good this morning.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Loved hearing butters after the game call out Carr for how great he’s been for his game and credited him for his breakout this year

What a game!

I loved wines face as it went over the line.. he knew it was a goal, no doubt

 

[Festerz]

Old mate umpire number 23 was Essendons best player.

Rob Findlay. Whose daytime job is an aerospace engineer for BAE Systems.

No surprise he has a bias towards the bombers

Josh Carr has had a magic touch so far.

The key difference being Port players manning up on the goal line to shepherd the ball through rather than running off the line to celebrate early as Sydney players did, giving Aliir a free leap.

The discipline to play the game right to the end - that's what mattered.

More evidence Ken is merely the good old mate on the bench
