Exactly. And banging on about flogs..........he needs to look up 'projection'.

Laird was close to, if not our best against St Kilda and very good again last night. Give it a break.

Fascinating that Brisbane delisted him. Spectacularly bad decision.

He also squibs the contest more than nearly any other player on our list, and has a softness to him that needs to improve. Regardless of 'pressure acts' stats. I don't hate him, I actually believe he will become great for us, but he has more work and a bit of growing up to do yet.

Correct - 5 or our absolute best players in Dawson, Rankine, Keays, Butts and Murray will be missing. You won't get a better chance to beat us at AO than this.

It is because he has no defensive game. Purely a forward, front runner. Struggles to tackle or apply any kind of defensive pressure. Has so much to learn still if he is to become a great AFL player. Talent alone won't make him that. He clearly has the talent, but he really needs to go to school...

Apart from our last 4 drafts, where we have nailed nearly every single pick. Including getting Soligo at pick 36, etc.....

This result was absolutely karma to that flog for his flopping disgrace and subsequent re-enactment after the game to his team mates. Sucked in Draper.

What? Momentum changed when Adelaide lost 2 of our 3 key defenders - Murray and Butts - in the first half. It allowed Essendon's forwards to run rampant against wingers trying to defend tall units, and they capitalised on unbelievably biased umpiring.

How are you going? Dudoro?

The difference between the ride Adelaide's and Essendon's forwards have gotten is night and day.

Adelaide have been 2 key backs down since the first half, we've got Cook and Nankervis, with a grand total of about 20 games combined, playing as KPD's.

Like in our last 4 home games, where we have lost the free kick count? OK.

Whatever happened to prior opportunity?

So crystal clear isn't it? Yet a few Victorian apologists in this thread who don't like hearing it. It's real.

Victorian bias. 100% real and well and truly alive.

Do you seriously think we can beat 22 players and 4 umpires? Can you see the dozens of neutral supporters saying the umpiring is a farce? We have been absolutely reamed - 4 goals given for free kicks that were not there.

It could not be more obvious. 3 goals given with pissy frees that were not there.

Oh. My God. There was NO PUSH on Caddy in the goal square. Another very clear goal to the Victorian umpire.

Zac Taylor 3rd highest contested possessions on the ground at half time.

Didn't see the Sydney game obviously? Amarty kicked 9 goals on him.

Yeah well you would know, hey! :drunk:

Butts supporters see the dropped chest mark under the roof? No, OK.

The AFL has seriously lost the plot. Appreciate the support from a Dons supporter.

Never heard of prior opportunity? No, the umpire obviously hasn't either.

Rachelle with ABSOLUTELY NO PRIOR OPPORTUNITY gets called holding the ball??!! WTAF VFL??!!!!!

Lol. I based my comment on being a member and being at games every 2 weeks, having watched him for a number of years. I don’t base my opinions on anyone else’s.

Agreed. Still far from sold on Butts. Sooooo sloooooowwwww

If it wasn’t for the Amaty debacle I reckon we would’ve done it by now. He’s been one of, if not our best defender bar that game this year. Definitely deserves a decent deal, but they may be holding off as his 1 on 1 defence has a way to go.

No Jones or McHenry :thumbsu: Zac Taylor great Soligo excellent Thilthorpe a beast Bond and Dowling solid Scholl Nank Berry Keays v good in the wet
