As someone who has training in how to use cameras my mind still boggles at how the goal reviews turn into footage sent back from the moon in 1969 when they play it back frame by frame.

it’s totally unnecessary from what I know.

Adelaide Crows must target Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams, says Kane Cornes


Port Adelaide’s Peter Ladhams is the man that can solve Adelaide’s ruck issues.
The Crows need to make an aggressive move and table a four-year, $2 million offer to secure his signature in this trade period.

Ladhams can be the player to solve the conundrum and his name has already been discussed among Adelaide’s list management committee.

He should be the No.1 big-man target to add depth to the depleted ruck division at West Lakes. Ladhams is only 22 and fits perfectly inside the demographic of Adelaide’s rebuilding playing group.

The biggest barrier blocking Adelaide from securing Ladhams this off-season is his contract status at Port Adelaide, which sees him committed to the club until the end of 2022.

After also failing to lure Collingwood big man Brodie Grundy home last year, the recruitment of Ladhams would help to ease the pain.

The Crows will welcome an influx of elite talent via this year’s draft that has the potential to fast-track their significant list overhaul.

The draft needs to be supported by an aggressive trading strategy and stealing Ladhams from its cross-town rival would be a major coup.

Kornes would have been well suited to a playing career at the Crows, and not just because of who his father is.

How did libba get away with that rugby throw ffs

****ing umps

 

[JUSTWORK]

Dwayne really loves saying "Kickable by his standards"

... Anderson proceeds to kit it out on the full.

 

[philthy05]

Throws the ball before - umps . All clear.

wrapped up with the ball immediately as players pile on - umps. Htb.

Let’s just sack all the umps and go recruit from the dole line.

The same way Smith managing to get three warnings about not being in that ruck contest in the second.

 

[philthy05]

I hate that little head high taps on a player who has gotten rid of a ball is a free inside 50 but gray repeatedly has his head caved in and gets nothing

Got a Facebook memory come through earlier. 9 years ago today witnessed one of the most iconic marks this century.

Will never know how the Krakouer mark beat it for MOTY. Was a good grab, but you see those maybe once a year. Besides a couple of Howe marks, I can't recall many as good as the Walkers. Proper knees on shoulders hanger, and Carlisle 2m tall.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Riewolt- GC earnt their prime time slot. (8th on ladder)

Meanwhile Port Adelaide. Here have a Sunday.

 

[Harlott]

Rankine looks very good and sooner or later will probably rip a game apart but the absolute jizzfest everywhere on BF is way over the top.

Rankine looks very good and sooner or later will probably rip a game apart but the absolute jizzfest everywhere on BF is way over the top.

His highlights package after 2 games is pretty remarkable, fair play I say.

If you can't get excited about the birth of a future star of the competition then what's the point.

 

[Bundilla]

yep. Twice in the last three weeks he could have won a match for Gold Coast but missed the goal. I think that means he has lost the match for them twice.

Hell of a player though. Reminds me of Akermanis in a lot of ways - cocky, arrogant, hair, unbelievably talented, he will be very good.

 

[TeeKray]

he spotlight on Rowell and rankine has drawn so much away from Anderson. Anderson has looked good and could easily be one of the best couple of players in the afl very soon

Yeah, it's also drawn attention away from the fact that the Gold Coast SUNS clearly didn't need that extra pick the AFL so kindly gifted them right at the tail of several years of warehousing top end talent that was ready to explode.

 

[Power freak 2008]

Nah, it is obvious you dont watch any of these shows. They are not recaps of who won games ... they are all about newsworthy stories and dramas from the weekend, often off-field. Besides Robbies after-the-siren goal, there was absolutely nothing newsworthy about Ports win. Nothing! It was a nothing effort, marked mainly by missed goals and opportunities in the last 4 minutes. Other than a one liner "Port won," there was nothing worth talking about to their viewers. Any expectation otherwise is just being churlish IMO.

I do agree their content can be weighted to Vic sides, but they are Vic-based media shows, and their largest demograph would be Victorians, so that is understandable. Also they tend to crap on about some useless subjects, and their hosts are often driven by their own egos (hello Eddie). So it depends what mood I am in as to whether I watch or not.

Living in Melbourne makes it easier to see the bias. I watch all the shows because it's all I've got and there is a bias to the expansion teams and the Victorian teams but the footy programs are nationally televised so there is room to cover opposition teams a bit more. I grew up with the MLB and NFL and whoever is hot in the power rankings gets a little more limelight. You seem to be content with the crumbs the league hands us. Establishing a power ranking ensures that the team at the top is scrutinised, but it also helps talented players get revolution and sponsorship. You see how picky the subject of the final being or of Victoria is. It'll be good for the game if it happens...
