Not having a crack it's purely an observation, 29,000 there Saturday night, is this the first time Adelaide fans have shown their dismay at the way the club has been run, ever?

Looks like it. I was there, crowd was empty and very quiet.
Funnily enough I said the same on the way home, maybe our supporters are finally protesting with their feet but after a win, will probably be up towards 40k again next game :lol:

Given it was a 50/50 game I'm surprised it was the one where they didn't show, as you note though finally protesting with their bums not in seats.

Well done or you're mad. One of the two.


Did so not really by choice. Been battling a head cold/chest infection for a couple of week. It was bitterly cold here yesterday, so watching footy all day, in the warmth, was the better option. Haven't had a beer for 2 weeks either, not helping my outlook on life.

Violent thug Zac Merrett very lucky to only receive a fine for his horrific hit on that Geelong player ;)

Watching on TV I thought he was in trouble.
He could have pulled up but chose not to.

All four umpires from the Geelong Essendon game appointed for this week: Brown, Hosking Mollison and Rodger, so they must have done all right. :D
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
