I suppose if Lee were to kick 8 on Fisher, I'd take that as a positive as we already know how good Sam is and that he can consistantly perform.

And gram and goddard (especially gram) aren't a loss - their going creates an opportunity - let's hope some players grab it with both hands. That's a big call. Lose two 150+ gamers and find drop-in replacements? Regardless of your opinion of the individuals, that doesn't just happen. It'll be a goo...

If you're worried about what opposition fans say about where we'll finish, take a look at this thread and have a chuckle. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2009-afl-ladder-prediction-not-a-discussion-thread.483261/ Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but the truth is there's no way of knowing how we...

If anything I would have thought defenders were already limited in terms of what they're allowed to do vs any other player on the ground.

Who are the couple of players? All I've heard is Mitch Brown wants to.

Kosi is better suited sitting at FF or not playing at all. Even Blake was a far better option filling in for McEvoy.

I've got no problem with that. I have a lot of high hopes for Siposs. He said when he resigned this year that he wants to be a one club player. Given he only just started, it sounds like he'll be driven to achieve with the Saints. Future captain.

Whichever way you view this year in particular, in camparison to the 100+ years of history this club has, the last decade and a half has been an immensley succesful era. It's astonishing that we didn't come away with the big one like you said, but I feel it's not going to take long at all to get bac...

It's a good thing the 4 points is all we need.

We've always had trouble with 2nd quarters for whatever reason. Even back in 2011 and 2010.

Would also love it if I could watch the game here in Adelaide.

In trouble for what exactly? Kicking in danger? Check the replay: http://www.afl.com.au/Video/tabid/76/co ... fault.aspx

Not sure what was wrong with Jolly...must have been exhausted...?

Gilbert playing a good game

Me too. Would really appreciate it

Gambler's fallacy.

But yes, I agree. This season is up for grabs and we have every chance of taking it.

Never understood why he was ever put into the backline. Apparently he's played down back before, but simply from watching his NAB cup games, you could tell he was hopeless in defence. Up forward, well, he was brilliant in the Melboune game. Haven't seen him up there since until now!

Kosi to stay, I think people forget the games Wilkes played against West Coast, at least Kosi didn't directly cost us 4 goals. While that's true, Kosi wasn't playing at half back. I don't care what anyone says, Wilkes is not a good or even adequate defender. I could tell this from his NAB cup games...

Hypothetically, if all our players were in good nick, this is a team I'd like to see play: FB: Gwilt, Gilbert, Geary HB: Simpkin, Fisher, Dempster C: Goddard, Hayes, Armitage HF: Schnieder, Reiwoldt, Siposs FF: Milne, Stanley, Saad FOL: McEvoy, Dal Santo, Jones INT: Blake, Montagna, Wilkes SUB: Stev...

I hope he plays on Milne again.

Why snap with your left when you can kick'em like this with your right?:

I have seen him snap truley with his left before though.

What's Peake doing this year anyway? I don't think he's played a game. Is he still playing at Sandy?

Need to start winning the hard games and get on a roll like 97.

All good and all, but I don't think I can take another GF loss.

so why did he kick 1.3 when it should have been at least 3.1?

A few of his shots were from a fair way out on tight angles. All three didn't miss by much IIRC. Nothing to worry about here.

Concussion. No fractures or anything. So pretty good considerring how bad it looked.

Current streak began with our win over WB in round 3. We're closing in on the record table: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/teams/allteams/streaks.html#20 And all our remaining games for the year could very well continue this way: GC: Win Adelaide: Loss North Melbourne: Win Essendon: Loss Brisbane: Win...
