Looks like a shoulder for Rowell.

 

[RPCB]

Could be game over for Rowell. Ablett back on the bench.

What excuse will Eddie come up with this time? Walked out the wrong door?

He’ll spin it somehow and talk absolute s**t like he always does. Funny how Eddie takes pot shots at every other club yet his own club is always in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Rhylee West looks a like hes going to do his last name proud.

Great team performance so far.

His effort that led to Schache’s goal I think it was, was bloody impressive, looks like a good player in the making

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Brisbane look like the team to beat. A massive reality check for Port tonight. Same old for them really.

Inside the camp that brought down the Adelaide Crows

Exactly what took place at Adelaide's infamous pre-season camp of 2018 has been shrouded in secrecy until now. The Sunday Age has obtained detailed and distressing accounts of the events and exercises that players endured, including being harnessed to a tree as abuse referring to episodes of...

The Gibbs quote is interesting, "I've been on worse camps at Carlton." If anything, at least it sorts out the facts from the furphys.

To help you along, I am not Sam McClure.

It's not the worst article. No doubt Sam has an obsession with the camp but at least it dispelled some rumours, even if some were well-established (such as the Indigenous players being upset over a talking stick). All of those who organised are no longer at the club so, hopefully, that's the last we hear of it for a long time.

Hopefully that is the last of those sort of camps. They’re not needed and do more harm than good.

I can’t remember the last time a Freo v Crows game actually resulted in a semi decent game of football, this game has been s**t

2015, Fyfe v Dangerfield?

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Melbourne are seriously bad, 2018 a flash in the pan season it seems. Bottom 4 looms.

The camp was a disaster. To give out personal information to the club (who you'd hope you trust) only for it to be passed on to a bunch of quacks to be hurled back at you for "resilience" amongst the other stuff is surely a breach of duty of care. Everyone at the club hierarchy should be moved on. Pyke and Burton were a start but the club is still a wreck with Chapman, Roo and, to a lesser extent, Fagan still at the helm.

If we can beat Adelaide next week and get back to Perth 3-3. We should be ok. But we were really poor for three weeks. Bit worrying. We were a little bit better yesterday against the Swans.

Sounds like Matt Rowell’s season is over.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Footy in this condensed season will be survival of the fittest.
Not like our chances tonight now.

 

[RPCB]

St Kilda having no issues with scoring. 7-2-44 after the 1st term.

 

[gaskin]

We haven't made it hard for them. We also have no key defenders so it will get worse.

 

[Van_Dyke]

we’re in a s**t ton of danger here, our backline is decimated

 

[chef]

Long will be having a few weeks off.
