The Fog one was so infuriating - you'd back him to kick that set shot 8/10, why the **** did he feel the need to play on?!
It was a symptom of everything we were doing. Zero composure. Playing on when we didnt need to. Trying to kick goals from 70m when teammates are free closer to goal. Handballing when running into an open goal. Risky crosses to contested situations at defensive 50. Handball to someone under pressure when you have a set shot. Bomb it long to the one guy on the field with no one on him. ALL. BLOODY. GAME.

We just weren't up to it mentally
 
Rankine has derailed our season. Sure we were in average form but in any normal course of events we might have recorrected.

I don't want any more media from the club about anything other than football.

No Rankine, no crowd rebukes, please no response to satisfy Mitch Brown or whatever other issue people want to bang on about (there's a 1000 legitimate social issues in life but none should be the focus of anyone at the club), no fluff pieces, no kids in oppo guernseys, no excuses...sick to death of the circus Rankine has created.

It's finals time, get your eye back on the objective.
no Rankine hasn't derailed it - the OTT reaction is what has caused the derailment. Nothing like this for the other 4 or so offenders

He wasn't going for goal on that shot, he wasn't even looking at the goals when he kicked, was 100% a "be unselfish" square up to the top of the square.

Other than Tex, a lot of them haven't learnt there's time's when they need to man up and take the shot. Pedlar did with his, so did Tex, Fog and Thilthorpe didn't. Of course then you have Keays who needs to learn to be a bit of the opposite.

The people booing were idiots.
Quaynor did nothing wrong.

Now us supporters are seen as rednecks for abusing a guy who called out poor behaviour.

on a technicality he didnt actually even call it out.

Quaynor was involved in roughing up and abusing Rankine though. We know that as a fact.

I wasnt at the game and I will clarify I have never booed at any time in my life in games I have attended. Never seen the point. I just think its part of the game and I can understand why some people choose to partake in it. Personal choice really. I dont think anyone has the right to tell anyone what they can and cant do at a football game as far as how they choose to barrack.

Two stats stick out like dogs balls having a look

Darcy Moore with 9 intercept marks. The next best on ground was 3 (from Quaynor and Cameron). Our best result was 2 from ROB, Milera and Worrell.

Secondly it's Crisp, De Goey, Pendlebury and Nick Daicos with double digit handball receives. Our best was Worrell with 9, but you can probably guarantee those 9 immediately led to him just jamming it on the boot to get it out of the defensive 50.

Moore’s effort was a finals record

We seriously must be the dumbest bunch of footballers, with coaches unable to change the course of their team.

Moore is a defensive liability when he has to actually defend but we gifted him the game on a platter.

Most hopeless coaching performance for our club since Neil Craig stubbornly wouldn’t move Massie from Buddy.

Apropos of nothing, Walker is now one goal behind Fogarty for the year, and Keays is 5 back. Depending how long Adelaide's season goes, it's entirely possible Fogarty finishes 4th in the club goal kicking ladder on current form.
 
Well it was stupid wasn't it?? Did you not see the media circus the last two weeks??

Did people honestly think booing the player that the homophobic slur was said to makes our club and supporter look good?? It bloody doesn't it and it's embarrassing.
And that's your opinion. Booing is literally showing displeasure. It's not like a spectator can roll off a monologue and be heard.

It's part of the theatre of it all. Way bigger issues in the world.
 
What a nonsense take.

No it isn’t.

Whether you agree with it or not the precedent was set that if you say that word you will be suspended.

He did it anyway.

He did something, dumb, got himself suspended which meant he was unable to play in a final, where there were countless moments that he would have had a massive impact.

Not everyone or all of you at all. I remember watching plenty of our mob boo Adam Goodes back in the day.

Some of it is poor behaviour, some of it is people just chiming in with a boo without knowing the circumstances. In any event it looks like IQ has moved on, and your bloke was apologetic.

Wishing you all the best next week. I hope you smash your opponents.
 
Rankine has 100% derailed our finals campaign. Just like Roo did in 2005.

Its not over yet but going to be bloody harder now, but with the media circus behind it, and the fuel added to the fire hasn't helped. We needed a spark last night, he was it but no good when sitting in the stands watching.
