Strong marks
Accurate set shot
Dropped a sitter
Brain fade
Good snap

All that was missing was a ninja flip and that's Darling career summed up in a quarter

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

Only in the AFL can you drop a catch and still get rewarded. In NFL or Rugby they're incomplete passes.

Nice observation

Re-match of Naitanui Vs ROB, phonegate

Can ROB actually do something this time and put up a fight in the ruck instead of junking it late like he did last time to paper over the cracks.

Absolutely pantsed by Naitanui in the first half, who has been in the best three on the ground (behind Darling and Kelly).
Can he turn it around?

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Loving Branders game
Ah Chee been so clean that handball to kennedy was all class
Petch been great to thst chase in Adelaides forwardline on Schoenberg where he pushed of and kicked out on the full was brilliant pressure

I've watched some Union recently.
If a sport rewards mediocrity, it's that sport.
Thankfully AFL is not a stagnant game.

 

[Scotland]

No one: 'Nobody has ever been more Jack Darling than Jack Darling today'

Jack Darling: 'hold my beer'

 

[Roobs321]

I’d like to see Petch crumb Darling with no opponent in sight.

 

[Scotland]

Why is that 50?

 

[kane249]

Why is that 50?

Cole encroached in the protected space, was dumb by him

 

[bzparkes]

s**t handball to Nelson.

 

[bzparkes]

Let off.

 

[Scotland]

Cole encroached in the protected space, was dumb by him

But he was chasing the guy running inside 50.

 

[bzparkes]

McGovern needs to be banned from kicking in general play.

 

[Roobs321]

Witherden & Rotham have cemented themselves in that back 6 imo.

 

[bzparkes]

Umps have turned up for Adelaide.

 

[kane249]

But he was chasing the guy running inside 50.

Was miles behind him

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Uh oh

 

[kane249]

Errors, bad decisions and fumbles from the Eagles

Umps haven't been to blame here

 

[Mazza1234678]

How does Waterman get a game in that forward line?

He is an awful footballer

 

[Roobs321]

Darling burst aside, feels a bit like a loss.

 

[Bungeye]

Thilthorpe sure did look slow there!

 

[bzparkes]

How good was that kick by Kennedy off his left though?

 

[CrowInFiji]

Umps have turned up for Adelaide.

You could lose the free kick count 20-0 and still should win by 8 goals.

 

[kane249]

How does Waterman get a game in that forward line?

He is an awful footballer

Very hot and cold player

Some weeks he is on and generates score assists as a link man, then there's games like this where he can't do anything right

 

[bzparkes]

You could lose the free kick count 20-0 and still should win by 8 goals.

That's correct. Umpire's have been garbage this round in general I guess.
