Sorry but nearly everything you have said is wrong. You are like a guy at our footy club. he thinks we should get 100 frees every week and the opposition nil. Are you Gary Murray?
Are you Jeff Gieshen? Tell me what was wrong are you suggesting Saad just fell over?
Was hoping to see some up and coming midfielders showing some spark- none. Looks like we will again rely heavily on ageing players. Although he didn't do much, Lee could be OK for us. Playing in that heat, the younger guys will just run out of puff. I'll just put the glasses down until Round 1.

I am not suggesting it wasnt a free I am telling you there is no way it was a free. And no I am not Jeff but a Saints supporter who watches game with 2 eyes.
First game lots of positives - second bit of a write off, considering backing up against a fresh team in 38 degree heat.
What I will say from the 2nd game though - fresh players that disappointed were Jimmy Webster (miles off it) and Seb Ross (severe lack of intensity, Newnes is miles ahead of him).
Tom Lee improved as time went by.
1st game: Newnes all class, Siposs excellent, Hickey good, Gwilt back to 2011 form fingers crossed, Curren was good when he was near it (which albeit wasn't much), the small forwards excellent, Ledger disappointing, Armitage good.

agree with the assessment.
Port also fielded a near full strength team too, so that second game was useless as a guide....
Let's see if Port can back up in the heat, I expect them to fade badly in their second game.
The only way any team was going to win 2 games in this heat was to win the first, and have the break before playing a second.
Therefore, Adelaide was in the best position at the start of the round robin roster.
Then again, one does have to question why the AFL's heat policy was not enforced. Surely there should ahve been longer breaks between games, in my mind at least a half hour. One has the wonder if the AFL's is concerned regarding the players welfare, or how much Foxtel spent to get the broadcast rights.
If this we're the Australian Open, except for games on the closed roof stadiums, games would have been suspended until the temperature dropped a few degrees.
But then Professional Tennis is a professionally run sport.
I hope, but it won't happen, that the club has a real go at the AFL for the scheduling of this fixture.

I doubt the tennis would have been called off. Also I think you may find we had a flight to catch so we may not have wanted the breaks extended.

I'd still expect port to win, because they are fielding a side much closer to full strength than either the saints or crows. And the crows have already played a game in the heat, so they won't be as fresh as port were against us.

Indeed.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
Can't read anything from either game. Crows missing half their team then we were not to mention playing against a fresh team in 38 degree heat. Silly format

Tom Lee definately not worth pick #12
Seb Ross - must be related the non-talented side of the Watson family.
Jimmy Webster - the less said the better!
#34 - aside from dropping sitters in the backline, didn't really show that much.
Tom Ledger - Awareness and decision making poor.
TDL -OK
Hickey - Will be a good pick up.

Worrying times ahead.
Wow - you can tell that from a practice game in mid Feb on a 38 degree day
You absolute hero
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Plenty of posters formulating their best 22, putting lines through names...
