[DQ 4EVER]

I did the same when I saw Sharp and Draper.

They have nothing to trade and only have a first-round pick, then a second - is that correct? Two drafts won't make much of a change. Their fans believe they can do as we have done and pick up some "quality free agents", but there's probably slim pickings?

Mine was when Draper made that one handed pick up

look exciting.

Strange call imo
I go the opposite
He's the lolly gobble bliss bomb flavour
All flavour for a burst, but soon fades to very little

Hmm is that really a fifty? Player marks , doesn't go back off the mark , goes to play on while standing right next to the opposition and gets tackled and drops the ball.

 

[FreoGirl]

would Georgiades leave?

 

[FreoGirl]

And trading in Griff Logue was not what they needed.

and somehow WCE believe they can bring in free agents that will be any good. A lot of clubs will be chasing long contracts before Tasmania comes in.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

By Golly, I know they are Bombers, but Stringer & Draper appear as quintessential south Australians

Riolli is so dangerous in the forward fifty when he has the ball, always hungry for goals

 

[mattis117]

Damn, Rozee going bang.

 

[Taylor]

Sucks that of the seven games not featuring an Adelaide club, four of them are home games coughed up by non Victorian sides.

 

[Lach72]

Watching Rozee I might just admit Jesse Hogan

was a mistake

Mmm? This is an extra round though, so no one gave up any home games?

 

[Joao]

Port couldn't miss in the first and if the Bombers were 4 goals up like they probably should have been, this would be a different game. Feel like this could revert to late 2023 Bombers and they get spanked now.

Which is obviously selfish AF.

 

[Spirit Level]

So Adelaide are getting gather round permanently?

• SA gets gather round for eternity and both teams get a guaranteed extra home game every year
• Vic teams get most of their games in their home state and a guaranteed grand final in their state no matter where they finish
• Northern teams get very generous academy allowances
• WA teams get...... an extra week of travel per year on top of the travel they currently have (most in the league)

JL said we were asking for an extra home game from the AFL, but I'm not holding my breath.

He was a massive mistake

Rosich ****ed us over on his way out

We picked up Hogan and Lobb and lost Neale and Hill. Why not grab Rozee and Butters and we would have the most dominant midfield ever with Brayshaw Serong and Young.

Instant hit for the fans for nothing

 

[Joao]

Also, I'm glad North are back to getting pumped. Their fans were way too swaggy for a historically **** team coming into our game.

 

[mattis117]

Essendon have no answers here, Port making them look slow and meek.

 

[Joao]

Yeah Port are an annoyingly good H&A side. Best we can hope for is bottling it in finals again.

It is literally impossible to have a perfect draft record. For every A-grade player we've landed in Fyfe/Brayshaw/Serong/Darcy etc. there was a team to pass them over in the draft. We have done well, probably one of the best drafting teams thanks to Wallsy.

The current plan is for SA and WA to alternate Gather Round in winter once Tasmania enters the AFL (along with Sydney getting an Easter Gather Round and Vic/Tas getting a Labour Day Gather Round).

How would an Easter gather round in Sydney even work when one of their main grounds is unusable?

 

[Quazar2]

so much for the Essendon Edge.

More like Essendon Eggplants at the moment, sheesh.........

 

[ep2018]

Just going off this, unsure how it will all work, however getting an extra home game every two years sounds decent.

 

[Joao]

Seriously though (and I dwell on this mostly because all the handouts **** me off) but North were literally penciling us in as a win 2 weeks ago and now they are 0-4 with a % of 59.

The only reason they aren't going for their 4th consecutive spoon this year is because West Coast is somehow currently worse.

Joke of an organisation.
