Yeah their ferals were booing that tackle, but Shedda did nothing wrong, it wasn't high, it wasn't a sling tackle. It was an unfortunate landing on his knee that caused Duursma to end up falling the way he did onto his head. If he gets ANYTHING (even a fine) then its clear that SHocking and Christian see us as their Christmas party fund.

One of the games Legends told me when the AFL came into being in 1990 that the AFL would be "the beginning of the end of this game as we know it"
He was right.
Every decision being made about the game is about COMMERCIAL INTEREST. The AFL and Clubs are commercial entities.
The AFL are following the global model of sport, that was established in the US.
This is now becoming VERY apparent to those who grew up with the game in the 60's,70's,80's and early 90's, which is a huge swathe of the most Club's membership base.
Pissed off pundits will switch off, its already happening in the US.
We were missing three or four key players. Had two blokes playing their first game. Had key players have shockers.
Got rorTed by the umpires and Port had to give it absolutely everything to roll us.
It’s a great rivalry but we shouldn’t fear them later in the year.

Along with the flogs in blue, we had to deal with an old flog in blue.

Still pretty sour about the loss but it's much different to last week. So many fixable mistakes. We didn't play well but still nearly beat a tough opponent.
Haha, where is this from? What sort of supporter has to have a go at the opposition coach after a win? Go home and beat up the missus ya fat *smile* wharfie.Along with the flogs in blue, we had to deal with an old flog in blue.

An uncanny resemblance to the free-kick deferential from last night's game. They *smile* * me!!That is my point. We play them in Adelaide every year but rarely play them at the G. We have played them 33 times in H&A games; 22 have been in Adelaide. That's right, exactly 2 out of every 3 games we have played them has been on their home ground. That is outrageous fixture rigging
I reckon Hinkley started to say something at the presser but thought better of it.
I’m not saying it’s guaranteed we will make finals, that’s just being arrogant but before people start writing us off consider the following:
- in 2017 we were 7-4 after our first 11 games then 8-3 in our second half of the season, not including finals
- in 2018 we were 9-2 then another 9-2
- in 2019 we were 7-4 then 9-2
- in 2020 we were 5-1-3 then finished with 7-1
Our first parts of the season the past few years, we do lose more games than we do in the second half. I wouldn’t be panicking just yet

Yep add Prestia Vlastuin and Macintosh to that team and we win. They were at full strength.
Spot on. It happened last week and again last night. It's a clear tactic to stop his aerial influence.
I would love to know if the club is going to approach the AFL/Umpires department with a video of the questionable umpiring we've been subject to. It would not be hard to put together a stack of footage to highlight the poor umpiring.
Looks like an unemployed truckie. He's the sloppiest coach in the AFL. Would be on job seeker if he wasn't coaching.
Dimma mentioned it in his presser - the football played in the early stages of the season is different to that played later on. Teams can't sustain the fast possession based football for the whole season. While teams train and practice precise kicking & keepings off football we refine our structures and tweak our pressure finals game style.
