Odds against Adelaide

I couldnt believe the odds in the Herald Sun this morning. Adelaide clear favourites. It might be time to put some money on the boys.

Criticism of Stanton is not warranted. He wasnt great, but by no means our poorest player. As for suggesting we trade him, your kidding arent you. The biggest defiicency we have is our midfield and you are suggesting you trade one of our better ones... Monfries has been very disappointing, but he is...

Are we gone?

Another really poor effort. Despite the third quarter, we really didnt look like we were ever going to win that game. Appalling first half. We played 3 minutes of footy for the entire half. Poor disposal, indecisive decision making, turnover football...all the horrors of last year. After watching th...

I think last year is his last chance. Given that he is such a high draft pick, they will give him some more time.
Showed more positives in his early years, but the last two have been dreadful....one can only hope he improves.

It sure was unbearable to watch. The most frustrated I have been all year at a game. With our poor disposal, the forwards never looked like taking a mark, and the hard running Bulldogs backline were licking their lips.

His disposal has improved this year....before the injury that is. He is lacking confidence in his body at the moment and that is resulting in poor disposal and decision making.

YES....I did read the thread. My point is, accept the umpiring is poor. It is a sign of the times. There were some poor umpiring decisions, and the 50/50s did not go our way...what is new! But our play, the turnovers, the poor kicking for goal, poor disposal is the reason for our loss. Whinging does...

Lets not start sounding like Collingwood fans....we were not up to it tonight. Yes we had a few out, but they had some serious talent out as well.

I agree...pathetic effort. Skill level was back to what we dished up last year. Lloydy is missing shots he would have kicked with his eyes closed in previous years.

Im not sure that it is worth the risk. If he doesnt get off, it is 2 weeks. We need him for the Collingwood game.
Bulldogs have a few out as well...fingers crossed it goes our way....

YES, very proud of the effort, but a 50 point loss is a 50 point loss....we are too proud a club to be happy with that.

Play Laycock in the square and Lucas at CHF. Need to make sure there are some crumbers around Laycock.
I dont think Johns is up to it...Gumbleton may be worth a shot, but that may be asking too much for a first gamer.

I will never forget the roar when Mercuri (my hero) drilled it through in the third quarter. The roar was one of the loudest ever. I think it was at that point in the game that we all believed we were back in the game and going to win it.
Ranks up there as one of the best games.

He is a long way from the player that he was. But there are reasons for that. His role has changed. He is playing much further up the ground, and the injury of cause. He missed a year of footy and had a setback earlier in the year. His kicking is a major concern. He isnt the dead set certainty anymo...

We were woeful in the first three quarters and kicked goals when the game was well and truly over. The positive is we saved percentage, but WELL DONE!!! you are joking arent u??

No such thing as CRAP!!! Look what they are doing to us. They may have been out of form in recent weeks, but they were always capable of doing what they are doing to us. The disappointing thing, is that we are unable to compete with them. Very disappointing. I think we are having our mid season brea...
