"We did what we had to do" is another cliche that diminishes a win

don't hear that at collingwood buddy do we?

Don't care how you spin it, he's not AA quality after watching that display. Witherden had 30 disposals and 12 marks and was next to useless at doing the main thing he's down there for.. ya know, defending? Did Shepard save a single goal today? I will repeat it's just Rotham and Mcgovern.

Could you imagine for one second if the crows had say a Ben Brown in their team. You would be staring at a loss.

You are right about Witherden but are being a bit harsh on the others. Cole and Nelson are more than serviceable. Gov and Barrass first game back, bit rusty but will be better for the run. Our defence has been somewhat rudderless without Hurn. Hopefully we settle when he comes returns.

It's rampant among all 18 clubs!

Was hoping for more percentage out of this, but Adelaide had some demons to exorcise after their Showdown last week and really made us work for it.

Edit: Apparently that absurd nutmeg goal was Darling's 100th goal at Optus, first player to that milestone.

think you might have missed the point we weren't playing the power(powerful side)in seriousness with all the injuries we have had it is a great draw when we can win games by six goals aginst second rate teams like the hawks away and crows at home.two rusty players back today only another five top 22 players to fit back into the side.

You're deluded.

You're deluded.

No, you're salty.

 

[chaddy22]

You're deluded.

i am being very realistic.most teams have a long injury lists but what seperates better teams from average teams is that they manage to win games.that's why both the eagles and richmond find ways to win games and why adelaide,st kilda and others don't.

Adelaide aren't an average team, they're bottom 4 and rebuilding. West Coast only won by 5 goals at home, that is very sad.

No, you're salty.

Not in the slightest. You will be when West Coast are out in the second week of finals.

Nah, won't be salty at all.
