Maybe not, but winning a grand final on your home ground while your lot missed finals soothed some of that pain.

First time in my life I’ve been calm and confident heading into a WCE home game. Hoping we make up for 2018 prelim and give these pricks an almighty hiding

Not sure what’s so hard? Don’t take a loss (an outcome which you have zero control over I might add) so personally that you feel the need to storm out in a huff like spoiled children. Football is just a game, a way to relax, yea it’s disappointing to lose but there’s always something to enjoy...

They left at half time where I was sitting (members area behind interchange). Seems a bit pointless spending big on premium seats if you’re going to have a sook when your team loses and leave halfway through.

This is like watching Melbourne under Neeld

Are Adelaide and Perth suburbs of Melbourne now?

Not prejudging the outcome of any legal action, but surely he should know better than to put himself in this position? Leaving aside the alleged criminal activity, at the very least it’s extremely poor judgment on his part to live post his jet-setting clubbing while millions of Aussies are...

-Adelaide : their captain is an utter flog. Leaving aside his SANFL commentary this season, his treatment of Jake Lever tells all you need to know about his ‘leadership’ skills. Their supporters too, the best thread I’ve ever followed on this website was the idiots tracking Melbourne’s 1st Rd...

He was there the year they made the prelim, 2014. I think with hindsight the lack of success might have been down to Port’s game plan not necessarily fitness, as they came close to running over the top of the Hawks in that last quarter. From memory they had a very poor i50 conversion rate.

Afaic until we give these campaigners a 186 level hiding, there will be outstanding unfinished business.

The Dog’s main failure was not having a Plan B to contain Melbourne after we switched Gawn out of the ruck. Even so, it’s largely an academic criticism as no team in the competition could have contained Petracca & Oliver that night.

Mayo in Gaelic Football would be a lot more heartbreaking. 11 All-Ireland finals in my life time (since 1989) and they have lost all of them, every single one. Some of them in downright bizarre circumstances too, e.g scoring multiple own goals to turn a handy second half lead into a draw and...

Sayers has been on your board for years though, hardly inspires confidence in his ability to manage the club going forward. And yes I understand he had a good career in business, but it’s a trope of professional sports (premiership soccer especially), the high-powered fan bailing out his boyhood...

No way, the GAA pretty much see AFL as interlopers trying to poach the best players from our code, they were never going to get on board with this. It’s also worth noting that the GPA is a separate organisation from the GAA, and at times they’ve been prone to making some ludicrous statements...
