Couldn't agree more and after he carried on when the 13 year old made a racial comment about Adam Goodes. He was so outraged then. Less so today. And yet again the AFL too scared of his power to punish

I guess it was a different system them but the comparison is extraordinary. How on earth did Hall get out so lightly? Bad record, miles from the ball intentional if it could ever be argued any act was etc. Add that to getting off in the Prelim Final v StK the tribunal was very kind to him

Some of those are really bad. I don't see how they judge intentional, surely only the player themself can only really tell you that, everything else is a guess. I think Jonas ( who is certainly no thug) has been made to apologise enough. Footy is a game of split second decisions, he made a...

I agree, as for him being damaged goods it is a fineline between premiership coach and damaged goods. After all that ball sits up for Milne saints win in 2010 and the fact it didn't mothng to do with coaching. The only query is has that defensive style of footy had its day?

Ok. I love Norwood Oval for the memories not for the quality of the ground though. And no one can tell me Alberton is a wonderful ground even though I enjoy going there. It is the memories that count not the facility for these old grounds. Even VFL Park became loved and Collingwood fans cried...

No I don't but do you really look at that ground with hate? Surely all those flags mean fond memories

I'm always surprised to hear Port Adelaide fans talk about no history or folklore at West Lakes. While it is unappealing as it sits now I would have thought there would be so many great Port memories there there would be at least some fondness. I won't bring up 1984 but 1978 and others are fond...

I disagree. He was a good caller. Some of footballs great calls came from Sandy, Ablett " what more can you say" Libba. " imagine what he'll do if he kicks a goal" " there is a pig on the ground, there is a pig at full forward" That show tonight however was truly awful

I think you are very kind to Terry. 12 yrs coaching, no GF. <50% win/loss ratio. Yes it is a fineline and 97 could have been different but every coach has these moments. Ross Lyon will cop a lot this week as a coach who's coaching style can't win a flag but if that ball sits up for Milne v...

But they were trying to get better draft picks so they could win ( one presumes) and haven't Melb and Carlton come on along way since the Kreuzer cup of 2007? Motivation to make club more successful by not trying to win immediate game in front of them. Pretty similar

Don't you find it strange that Dean Bailey got suspended for deliberately losing ( they used another term) and yet this is allowed to go on? That was the harshest penalty on an individual ever. As if a first time senior coach would deliberately lose off his own bat. How did the CEO, President...

That is really true. Ken Farmer could be a legend as could Ebert or Blight. Blight more likely to be selected with Brownlow Medal and coaching record but both would be deserving but next legend will probably will end up being Brian Taylor or Stevie Milne

I don't think there is anything at all wrong with a healthy respectful rivalry. Makes the game more fun. Walshy would be all for it. But it is just a game and there are more important things and hopefully our clubs can show that during the showdown to a great man who served both our clubs...

Actually I think he might have been AA 6 times. My error. You can be unlucky not get selected like Priddis but can't be lucky 6 times. No way Sumich was better. He played in a superb team that fed him. Pav has rarely had that

You are kidding about Pavlich. Superstar. 8 times All Australian. Made a career on last 2-3 yrs? How do you do that anyway? Most durable Key position forward of last 25 years. How is he possibly over rated? Name a better West Coast forward ever? I'll go first.... None

Absolutely agree with you and Tribey, the worst part of this is it the SA media doing the damage, for no good reason. Seem to be wanting to play up the Port fans are the troublemakers story. Be a better story if they had facts, not isolated anecdotes. I was in Melb last w/e and for similarish...

I think it is really disappointing how much negative press fans at Adelaide Oval have been given by the media in the last few months. Adelaide Oval has been a fantastic success and we should be promoting that not zeroing in on the occasional idiot fan, no doubt from both local sides or visiting...

That is a bit tough and a bit simplistic. I'm sure Goodes regrets that incident. She was a 10 year old girl making a racist comment. She was taken away by the police, interrogated on her own for an hour ( what were they asking?) commonsense just flew out the window. Goodes was sheepish about the...

Bitter much? What a load of rubbish I think channel 7 covered sport superbly in the 90s Was expecting them to get back to their former glory when they took back footy but they have just been ok

Tough on Franklin/Goddard for mine Having Cassisi number 1 implies someone rates him. Who?

Surely we need to understand exactly what the crime is before we demand a resignation. Good, strong clubs hold firm in the front office and don't pander to media and a few supporters with pitchforks. Our club was expertly handled the last 12 months (with the Rendell sacking the one exception)...

Aren't you in Adelaide also and therefore 30 mins behind with me? For what it is worth I reckon you got way unders for Young. Strange thing this compensation in FA. Pearce and Young about the same standard footballer for mine, compensation is not

1997 was 15 years ago, 1998 14 years ago, 1999 13 years ago

Not sure about that, in the last 15 years we've won twice as many as the Hawks. Try 13 years next time

If you are so sensitive it might be best not telling us what Adelaide should/should not have done a year ago with Tippett. Unless of course you are in the inner sanctum at Adekaide and know what they tried to do last trade period. If you did, you wouldn't be posting such authoritative ill...

Ive never missed a goal from 15 metres out in a GF when it mattered

Being told how to trade by a Freo fan, bit like being told how to kick gimme goals in the last 5 minute of a grand final by Jack Gunston

This is all good. Facts Tippo is over rated. Once top 10 in our B&f and 15th last night which might improve to about 10th with less concussions Paying him 800k per year is too much, frees up money and mainly doesn't cause team disharmony by our 7th best player maybe getting twice as much as...

maybe he would have snuck into 10th, but what about 08, 10,11? Concussion or over valued?

Obviously been concussed most years at Adelaide
