    I've 'loved to hate' him as a player also.
    But in reality, he has been almost peerless in leading and influencing a football club to certain standards that have seen them be the most successful club in AFL history.
    Yep, he has made some poor choices in his life but on field he is peerless as a leader IMO.

    I've only seen the first half , but fair to say I had to double check the score on the phone .
    One weird whacky season this one

    Adelaide were out-coached/out-structured (I'm sure that's not a word! But you know what I mean). They just weren't allowed to get their normal game going for more than a few bursts during the game.

    The game itself was probably quite representative of footy at the moment, in that, anybody can beat anybody - if they come in with a plan that prevents the opposition from being able to play their way - and they stick to it.

    Though I have not liked Hodge's sometimes borderline on field dirty tactics he is a great on field leader and yep, would be good to have some new, fresh voices in the coaching group. Great thinking BT. Have a chat with Bevo or Gordon and make it happen!

    Neither was Hall. Things change once they join the right side

    True. Although I recall 'Fat' Crameri taking a while longer to bring some around. I wouldn't mind Hall working with Tom Boyd either. Hall's leading was brilliant, even Moreso for a huge bloke.

    It'll mean even more competition just to make the 8 for us. I was thinking a week ago, worst case was 7th or 8th. If results go a certain way, notably us not winning consistently, we could well miss if the boys can't find their spark. Which is staggering to even think about, considering the players we have.

    Sydney not getting paid some pretty obvious free kicks this last half. Wait for the outrage.

    I guess thanks to Essendon for snuffing out Sydney as a top 8 threat.

    If only they had a way to be a bit stronger, for a bit longer. A James Hird team would've never lost that.

    Amazing by the Swans to claw back. Bruce trying his utmost to morph into Tom Hardy is hysterical.
