2nds Centrals vs Port Adelaide - Round 18 @ Elizabeth

[GremioPower]

Wow. A Showdown. The eighth for the year?

There is no such a thing as too many Showdowns.

Played everywhere really endevoured to get in and around the ball. Was his regular half forward mid and pushed up all the way to the half back line at times too. Pretty difficult watching on the app because the commentators had no idea who was who

RossFC philthy05 how did Hayes go as the lone ruck once Ladhams went off with concussion?

I was busy and only loosely paying attention after half time so missed plenty but he showed that Paddy Ryder natural ruck tap smarts at several centre bounces. Natural.

How much was it then? The AFL gave Geelong a first round pick compo for him so he's in big money...

I think it’s general consensus that the afl manufactured a 1st round compo pick to smooth the path for a Ablett trade home. The benefit of having a compo system that’s hidden is that you can tweak the results if you want. I think the afl has even admitted they can adjust it if they think the system hasn’t returned an answer they like (without ever clarifying what they meant exactly by that)

Whether they did or not we will never know.

With Port v Crows at night I'm expecting the afl clubs to be billed for the use of the lights

Does anyone else reckon the attendance and tv ratings of this game will eclipse any previous grand final and the turds will ignore that and continue to treat the afl clubs like parasites?

Way off the mark. Nowhere near that figure.

$850 000

Glenelg has two ties.

Sturt would have been out as well if they had lost.

It was almost like they had to find a way to get Geelongs favourite son home, hey.
