BOY OH BOY WOWEE It's the 2014 AFL Thread

[LemonMelon]

So yeah, St Kilda was a mirage. 11th place with a percentage of 67.8

 

[Axver]

Oh come ON Adelaide, get decapitating already.

And I see GWS managed to avoid a mauling by Port. Reasonably respectable scoreline - they lost by less than Geelong did last week!

 

[Axver]

Uhh, Adelaide...?

my thoughts exactly, was listening as I was driving home from the footy. Carn the Dees.

I've bought a double supply.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I am so disappointed with this team. This should've been a comfortable victory.

I know we've won the last 3 but Sanderson has a lot to answer for right now, getting outcoached badly.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I don't understand why Reilly's still in this team. He's as effective as Michael Johnson with the ball (ie. not very) except he can't even defend while Johnson can.

Bitterly disappointing so far.

 

[Axver]

There's no way Adelaide can stay this insipid during the second half, surely?

Or have Melbourne finally worked out how to play?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They're playing the sort of way they did last week, but Sydney at least managed to kick ahead and keep it that way. This is just meek, there's no effort from us at all after the first three minutes.

I was expecting us to be 3-4, but with a loss to the Dogs instead of this. The fixture afterwards is frightening, we could lose all of those matches.

 

[cobl04]

Adelaide will still win.

 

[Axver]

But... how are Melbourne getting the goals? Sure their defence was good against Sydney and avoided a bloodbath, so I can understand Adelaide's low score in that sense, but Melbourne had essentially no targets up front last week. Soon as they got the ball out of defence they found themselves incapable of using it properly.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They get goals because we suck.

Look, we spent the whole quarter trying to get back and they get one effortlessly with 10 seconds left. Typical Adelaide.

 

[cobl04]

Vlad, will you admit the Crows are getting the rub of the green from the umps here?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Sanderson's going to get sacked soon.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This is disgraceful, we never should have lost this, all the goals they've kicked in this second half should've been avoided.

 

[LemonMelon]

I wanted this tip but I can't deny the relief that we're not their only scalp.

 

[Axver]

Sanderson's going to get sacked soon.

All the other Adelaide fans I know think he's a champ...

I'd be more worried about the poor new bugger at St Kilda after today!

 

[cobl04]

Crows fans leaving! Pathetic

 

[Vlad n U 2]

All the other Adelaide fans I know think he's a champ...

He's nice but he's a shit coach.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Crows fans leaving! Pathetic

They should burn the place down. Why should they stay to watch this rabble lose at their home ground to Melbourne? Why would anyone want to.

 

[cobl04]

The last time Melbourne won in Adelaide, they left on an Ansett flight.

Because there's still fucking time to win the game?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I love we spent 75% of the second half trying to kick goals whilst they waltz in because we can't defend for shit.

I don't know how our admin is going to survive this. They have to go.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Because there's still fucking time to win the game?

Crows fans know we don't win these games.

Something Vlad said about Adelaide a few weeks ago came true. I know kids I'm scared too!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm right a lot of the time.

Overall, shaping up to be a shit season, Port are overachieving and everyone's in bed with them and Kochie, Hawthorn are smashing anyone not named Geelong, standard of play in general is poor ...

 

[cobl04]

lT'S A GRAND OLD FLAG

 

[Axver]

Oh my god so close in the end. I can imagine you're happy for the company, Traviud!
