Great win in hostile territory - didn't play up to our best - but we slugged it out and fought back when we were under pressure - good signs!!!

WTF does that mean?

Sorry I am an idiot. was supposed to mention Milney.
Ok I accept your acceptance of your situation....

And I agree

Yapper was great with his chasing and pressure - there wasn't much more than him in our forward line when it's been a KPI in our pre-season.

He's a constant in our 22 AFAIC.

Any win on Adelaide's turf is good.
Love watching Neil Craig spit it at the end too.

No coverage of the song

Ch 10 = DISGRACE

In just 80 minutes it's on Fox 503

Maybe they'll show it

I'm sure Channel ten just wanted to get out of Adelaide.

Crap crowd, crap effort, worst crowd for this comp since 1987.

Rubbish.

AFL obviously copping a quid out of it somewhere but seriously this is not catering to the massses.

Raven · Post: # 528765Post **Raven** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 9:53pm

Considering the conditions, a fantastic effort and a great win.

If Milney had kicked a behind instead of our last goal then it would have been a draw with the Crows' goal on the siren! Onya Milney!

Gram was easily BOG, extremely well deserved Tuck Medal.

Even though it's the NAB Cup, there's something special about seeing our boys get their name called one by one to go up and have a medal put around their necks. Love seeing that.

EDIT: Oh, and Channel 10 SUCKS. How can they possibly cut out the song. What a travesty.

?????

The coverage I saw on 10 (I am in Melb) had the song.....and it was at the same time as I heard the boys singing it on SEN.

Agreed!!

And the replay while the play was on was pathetic.

Raven · Post: # 528783Post **Raven** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 9:59pm

Yeah, we saw them singing but it was muted, the commentators talked over the top. I'm just surprised they weren't discussing Chris Judd at that particular moment. Seems like as good a moment as any.

Agree. Anyone who has a go at channel 7 after that performance tonight needs to watch how bad that game was covered.

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:04pm

Anyone notice kosi whispered in rossy's ear before the cup was given to them?

do you think it was maybe something about, "dont forget to smile"??

OneEyedSainter77 · Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:05pm

The channel ten coverage tonight was APPALLING. The amount of time they showed a useless, insignificant replay while play was going on was ridiculous. I hope someone loses their job for this.

iwantmeseats · Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:06pm

YES!!! They did it right throughout last year as well. WTF is happening? There is just no excuse! Cant we GET someone sacked for this? :0) ridiculous.

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:07pm

yes, the coverage was poor.

What was with the random shots of tippet and his cramp when the ball is nearly in the f50 saints. Then at times we would get close up of people in the stands whilst play has started. very frustrating.

The pathetically near empty stands?

Adelaide can just host a party can't it?????

yes, im surprised their members dont pack their stands out. maybe they thought they didnt have a chance against us. i wouldn't blame them

Quixote · Post: # 528826Post **Quixote** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:11pm

Undeniably the worst coverage of a major live event I have witnessed in my entire life.

Actually - quite, quite unbeliveable how bad they are. In my 28 years I cannot remember such a sustained, shoddy, lacklustre show.

Too angry to say much more. Head Wiggum at Ten, perhaps you should consider the blatantly obvious before you even consider moving on into any area of intelligent broadcasting:

A) FIX THE BLOODY SOUND MIX. FOR OVER A YEAR IT HAS SEEMED LIKE THERE ARE FOUR COMMENTATORS AT THE GAME PLUS ABOUT EIGHT SUPPORTERS. AMP UP THE AMBIENCE YOU TWIT!

B) EITHER HIRE IMPARTIAL COMMENTATORS, OR HIRE ONES THAT SOUND LIKE THEY GIVE A s*** ABOUT THE GAME!

C) DO NOT - AFTER FOUR MINUTES OF DEAD AIR WHILST PLAYERS COLLECT THEIR MEDALS - LEAD TO A BREAK AS THE NAB PREMIERSHIP CUP IS ABOUT TO BE RAISED! DO NOT ALLOW S. QUARTERINCH TO STUMBLE IN AT THIS STAGE WITH A STUTTERING CROSS! KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!

D) SHOW THE f****** THEME SONG (WITH AUDIO!) BEFORE BARRELLING INTO THE LATE NIGHT FILLER FILM ATTRACTION FOR f**** SAKE! YOU STUMBLED TO THE LINE TONIGHT - THEN HAD THE NERVE TO LEAVE UNGRACIOUSLY BEFORE THE CONCLUSION!!

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWNS!

benengel14 · Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:12pm

Not that it takes away from the win. But agree wholeheartedly on Channel 10's attempt at coverage. Frequently miss the run out from defence by watching insignificant replays. Miss the club song because they're too busy promoting a game a fortnight away.

Who else almost threw up by the amount of Judd coverage? he played a practice match FFS, I don't need to see every minute where the ball was in his vicinity. The could have limited JuddTV to 15 minutes and they would have had plenty of time for a post-match analysis/highlight reel and the club song in full.

Here's hoping Josh Kennedy sets the world alight!

saintbrat · Post: # 528835Post **saintbrat** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:13pm

and the Juddy ads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saint66au · Post: # 528838Post **saint66au** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:14pm

Oh and W.T.F is with the ground announcer and the thumping music revving up the crowd before the start of each quarter????

also a nice touch to have the presentatons just a mere 150m away from the only people in the ground who cared..our fans behind the goals at the other end. Remiscent of the 07 day GF, when Geelong were presented with the Cup facing directly away from most of their fans behind the Ponsford stand goals

SainterX · Post: # 528840Post **SainterX** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:15pm

In 2004 we played 4 preseason games, 22 home and away games and 2 finals for a total of 28 games.

This year lets make it 29

One has gotta think that when Harvs retires he may move to Adelaide, he loves that ground so much

Darren · Post: # 528847Post **Darren** » Sat 08 Mar 2008 10:17pm

Those ads were annoying! Its Adelaide and St. Kilda, not bloody Judd this, Judd that !!

I think Channel 7 would've done a better job at the coverage tonight. Screw the commentators, but at least they'll have the signing at the end!
