Freo's last quarter last week was excellent. We had that game in the bag and they turned the clock back to their 2013 form
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: AFL Round 4, 2017 Discussion
Most impressive thing about Adelaide is their drafting & development. I don't think they've got 1 top 10 draftee on their list and their best 22 is filled with late picks and rookies.
On top of that they lost some good players to expansion (Bock & Davis) and other destination teams (Gunston & Tippett). As much as I'll always hate them after 97, you can't begrudge them any success.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

They lost an amazing spine, you could build a very successful team around this:
Bock
Davis
Dangerfield
Gunston
Tippett

If there is a footballer I really appreciate in the game that isn't a dogs player it's him.
Good call. He's great to watch-he really is the full package. Even if the game is a blow out its worth watching still just to see what he does.

Just in the nick of time.

It's like Adelaide can't win a final unless they get advance information about the opposition gameplan or something.

Sounds familiar. Except we've had a few more first round picks. Probably why we've won a flag this century and they haven't.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

He's where Liam Jones is. Footy's no mans land, earning a wage to play lower league footy.

Must admit I enjoyed seeing Tex give Hurley an absolute bath last night. Enjoy your drug stained money, Michael.

Tigers giving it to the Lions and are 53 points up. Jack Riewoldt with 4 goals and Stefan Martin with 49 hit outs.
Mitch Robinson has put the breaks on Dustin Martin
About 10 minutes to go.
Nice win by the Saint against the Pies

Re: AFL Round 4, 2017 Discussion
Watched parts of the Saints Pies and just again emphasised Collingwood's awful kicking skills, and no 2nd big target inside 50.
They halfed their tackles from last week also . No more excuses for Buckley as they've got a full list to choose from .

Funny isn't it , they were all dying to get Back and we're going to be the powerhouse they were before the scandal , thing is they haven't been a powerhouse since 2000!
What have they left of the players that got done 6 ? And Watson Is old, by the way Luenburger has no idea what he is doing out there it seems , I'm still in shock the Worsfold said they have hit a wall
After just four games they should be as motivated as ever!

Re: AFL Round 4, 2017 Discussion
Hit a wall. What a bunch of crap.
I can't coach and I've got a shit list anyway is closer to the truth,
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
