I'm sure that's contributing. The AFL were super butthurt when SA and WA refused to grant open ended travel exemptions to all the Victorian teams, umpires, league officials, and media in the middle of a pandemic.

Apparently that post-game rocket was a derivation of “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed,” (Ratten’s words were apparently “Who do you want to be?”) which we all should know is the real one that cuts deep.

Hill might’ve just been seeing red against an old team. The whole squad put in one quarter then took their foot off the gas, it was beyond frustrating. Almost better to lose that than sneak it in under the wire.

Its a really hard one. These kind of losses can either be character building or destroying. The fact is we still fielded the 3rd youngest and the most inexperienced team as far as games played, those kind of players are just inevitably going to be mentally inconsistent and well, weak at times.

Getting fired up and angry I feel doesn't really work in this respect, you have to be introspective to really get any kind of result out of it.

Just lol at Gil trying to sell this heroic Queensland evil everyone else narrative in a desperate bid to avoid the nightmare of having a Grand Final played in Perth or Adelaide and breaking the seal preventing the national rotation

It doesn't matter one gently caress where the grand final goes this year, it's going back to the MCG once the pandemic is over because the AFL is in no financial position to break a 40 year contract three years in.

Nothing to do with the Saints anyway.

But seriously, I do like Bruce and didn't hear anything about him talking poo poo about the Saints when he left but drat was I disappointed in his performance the last few years at the Saints. He went from someone who looked like he'd mark anything that came hear him to someone that had hands of concrete that'd struggle to catch a beach ball. Although they were trying to use him as the 2nd ruck which is something I always thought was doomed to fail and credit with a large part of his downfall.

Quite a win by port Adelaide

as someone who has only been watching this season that was literally the best match I’ve seen. Pretty much a shootout the whole time.

I reckon the AFL is tweaking the umpiring each week to try and find something that speeds the games up and allows more scoring
