It's actually only 4-6 according to crows.

They always report with accuracy so not sure where U got 8 from

It is 4 to 6 weeks as the crow flies...

Struggling Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins says he’s among a dozen Crows wondering if they’ll be axed amid the club’s horror start to the AFL season.
Jenkins says it’s “fool’s gold” to believe his spot is safe as Crows players brace for further fallout after just one win from four matches. “There should be 12 guys who feel the same as I do, there’s a lot of us who aren’t playing good enough footy,” Jenkins told SEN radio on Wednesday. “And if we do feel comfortable and do think ‘nah, I just deserve a spot for what I have done in the past’ then that is fool’s gold.” Jenkins is part of a misfiring Adelaide forward line — he’s kicked just four goals this season with co-captain Taylor Walker and Tom Lynch scoring only three apiece.

I don’t think JJ is using the term “fool’s gold” in the right context here. If anything is fool’s gold it’s him.

Having an old battle scarred 31 year old solo ruck taking soul responsibilities of an entire clubs ruck department who has struggled with injuries as of recently, once again struggling with injuries.

They're going to be eaten alive by witts.

I have Witts as bench ruckman in a UF team - my main man Big Boy McEvoy has been getting similar numbers as Witts so far, but this looks like the week to swap them over.

"0-4 in interstate games" I can't believe some Vic teams travel that little.

Lol

Acute conditions are severe and sudden in onset. This could describe anything from a broken bone to an asthma attack. A chronic condition, by contrast is a long-developing syndrome, such as osteoporosis or asthma. Note that osteoporosis, achronic condition, may cause a broken bone, an acute condition.

Acute and long standing or chronic LOL.

Some of these may not be 100% accurate (I know for a fact that they've won 3 games since Round 14, 2017) but still, gee whiz!

The Blues are really battling at the moment.
Over the past 8 games of footy (Round 20, 2018 until Round 4, 2019) They are the only team to not win a game.

West Coast 6-2
Richmond 6-2
Hawthorn 6-2
Geelong 5-3
Collingwood 5-3
Western Bulldogs 5-3
GWS 5-3
Melbourne 4-4
Adelaide 4-4

Essendon 4-4
Sydney 4-4
Fremantle 3-5
Gold Coast 3-5
North Melbourne 3-5
St Kilda 3-5
Port Adelaide 2-6
Carlton 0-8

Even worse, they have only won 2 of their past 36 games, dating back to Round 14, 2017.
In the same time each team has won:

West Coast 24
Sydney 24
Geelong 23
Hawthorn 23
GWS 21
Collingwood 21
Port Adelaide 21
Melbourne 20
Essendon 20

Yep that’s because he’s a part of the Franchise. If he was ours there wouldn’t be three pockets named after him lol.

Wish we had Chris Fagan

No. Did Ken get asked about Eddie? We are used to that sort of stuff by now.

 

[PAFC66]

Hahahahahaha the pregame for the Brisbane pies game.. showing highlights of when they won 3 flags in a row 16 years ago.. alluding to the fact they're getting back to that point after 3 wins...shit

 

[PAFC66]

Of course they did it's South Australia. He's the second coming of Jesus in that state.. of course ken lapped it up and spent more time talking about Betts than anything else. Loser

Oh yeah nah, Eddies a great player that we’d love to have I think any team would, yeah nah absolute superstar always hate having to deal with him. So yeah nah all the best.

 

[philthy05]

Mihocek pushed in the back as he kicks a goal.

No penalty


Burton stupidly pushes a player after they kick a goal

Given a second goal with a free kick from the goal square in what would end up a 7 point win.


This sport is ****ed
