3 month barring pending.

Grandstand changeroom renovations at Oval Ave unlikely to be completed by end of the season so will probably open start of 2024 season.
In the interim, the Eagles will use the Percy Fox Stand changerooms (presently the opposition change rooms) and opposition teams will use temporary change rooms stationed between the 2 existing grandstands. Not a dissimilar situation when renos were happening at Norwood and Elizabeth ovals.
Will there be hot water for visiting teams?

My Friday Forecast -

* Selwood is not well received by the City end
* MT had enough of 4 umpires before quarter time
* Mitchell gets a lot of it, does nothing with it
* Geelong mids dominant
* Cats get it done by 21pts
* Attendance 88,446

Happy Birthday Spargo, may the Kangaroos put in an effort befitting of the day.

Lovely afternoon.

I wonder if individual players will be held to account in future years for causing head trauma in their playing days. Will the AFL take the angle of "it wasn't the game that hurt him, it was the bump by player x".

That $94k salary would be taxed about $22K too.

There are also childcare fees to consider for households where both parents are working.

My Friday Forecast -

* Brisbane come out in a tackling frenzy
* Zorko not as chatty as he was last time
* Gawn is the King of Ruckmen
* A last quarter blitz sees Melbourne home
* Demons by 31pts
* Attendance 29,445

My youngest is playing in the mini league in this game at half time so I’ll get along for a look.
If anyone sees me on the ground helping be sure to hurl abuse at me!

How many kids you got, reckon I seen you at 6 games last year, can't all be mini league.
#closetportfan ;)
Another safooty poster may have a daughter running around too. He’s rapt about attending a Showdown :lol:

I’ll look out for him.
He can buy me a beer! ;)
You'll need to find me in the first half, as soon as Auskick is done we are outta there.

My Friday Forecast -

* Magpie fans think umpires are against them
* Lynch has loose elbows
* Daicos gets roughed up a bit
* Richmond try to slow the game down to a walk
* Collingwood break free by 27pts
* Attendance 74,687

Me and 8yo have been invited by the Bombers to form the guard of honour as the boys run onto Adelaide Oval tomorrow. I have also scored corporate box tix for Collingwood v St Kilda

I think Adelaide win, Carlton not travelling overly well. They drew a game they should have lost, just beat a Geelong side that then lost to GC, got over GWS due to "dissent", and took 3 quarters to shake off NM.
Then got smacked by Adelaide, didn't trouble StK after half time, beat WC wowee, got easily beaten by Brisbane at home.

I remember booing the shit out of Dermott Brereton at footy park in 88.
Along with 45000 other SA fans.
That had no racial overtones whatsoever.
And I don't think Buddy's has either.
I'm still of the view that the majority of the fans weren't booing Goodes because he wasn't white.

Booing Dermott in a State game is a bit different. Booing Ginnivan who gained a rep for staging is different. Richmond fans booing Stewart this week because he took Prestia out last season, is different. Booing a player that is having a shot for goal happens at every ground.

Constantly booing Buddy in general play is bewildering, never seen it before.

Edit your post re Goodes or delete entirely.

Ports defence counsel likened the bump on Rankine to taking the lid off a tin of paint, because the lid is part of the tin and it isn't even the dumbest thing an SA based AFL club did in the last 24 hours.
Adelaide won their premierships when their coach employed "no individual" policy, if they are going to go down that track then I applaud them, I actually think both Adelaide clubs are pretty level headed, Rachele is just a young "dumb" bloke who will learn the hard way, Tex is probably the only other one that puts himself out there in the media but I find him humorous and doesn't mind taking the piss out of himself.

Rachelle made a comment about Port supporters which opposition supporters have been saying for 100 years now.
I don’t understand the outrage with the comment.

Reading Lairds comments its clear that the Crows frustration (based on the fact they went and dropped him) isnt the actual comment rather Racheles need at the moment to bring 'outside attention/noise' to his performances by being involved in these banters or whatever you want to call them.

Clearly they want him to focus on playing and not all the other rubbish .

Then why offer him to do media street on FiveAA?

My prediction for the weather in Adelaide 17th-21st January 2024 is a 38C average over the 5 days lol.

Can't make this sh1t up.

People gluing themselves to, hanging themselves from or vandalising property (public or private) during protests.
We are lucky enough to live in a country where people have the freedom to protest, but that sort of crap does nothing to help your cause IMO.

Loved the comment from Grant Stevens today "so we cant, as much as we might like to, cut the ropes and let them drop"
Personally think a quick squirt with the high pressure fire hose would have done the trick yesterday and today but I guess we can't do that either.

My thoughts... if people glue themselves to a road, or chain themselves to something... let them stay there. See how long they stick it out (pun).
Was then asked outside court if she would do it again and replied yes, she would.

At that point she should have been hauled back into court to explain to the judge that she is ignoring them.

Since when in 2000? I assume October?

At least we prepare 1 pitch, and not 4 pitches in 1 to suit certain bowlers from certain ends and disadvantage particular opposition players.

Carey playing a late cut between 1st & 2nd slip to the boundary is the shot I needed to see today.

I think you left the kettle on...

Lol my likes Lord Nelson-ed just before Stokes got out.

Cheers RB

I think Bairstow's missed stumping of Green 2nd ball is potentially more game changing than Head getting out for 50.

My Day 2 thoughts -

* Robinson aint troubling our batters on this pitch
* Marnus will average 80 for the rest of the series
* I wish Uzzy had the chance to play another 50 Tests
* Trav gonna have a good series
* Broad is a flog

Ease up!

It's happening.

Considering we batted the entire first day under lights, we have put in a decent performance so far. Every time England are batting, it seems the sun is shining bright. Let's pray for some cloud cover and humidity.

* Dangerfield in everything
* Blakey goes on several runs where he is tackled/drops the ball/falls over
