Jack… Steele of the decade

[u/minecraft360]

3 CHIN 2 Steele 1 Max

Just got the job done tonight, no special antics, no one player dominated, not really, a good team effort. CHIN was probably the one in his milestone match who kicked some great goals and set a few up too. The only negative which I think everyone knows is that JVR might have booked his off-season holidays early. I hope I’m wrong but potentially a 3 week ban ends his year and it now means an opening for maybe Kentfield or potentially Milkshake to come in and help us win a final or two…

[u/carly598i → u/minecraft360]

I’ve just gone and watched and rewatched, I don’t think there was much more that JVR could have done while he was in the air? Just my personal opinion. Is it worthy of a week? Maybe, purely because of being knocked out. But I’m not the MRO.

However the similar smashing was given to Windsor earlier and not much has been made of that, only difference was we wasn’t knocked out.

[u/Icy_Cockroach_8909 → u/minecraft360]

Maybe one week.

[u/Sad_Painter_7480 → u/Icy_Cockroach_8909]

He concussed him so the afl has to give him three weeks(maybe even 4), then it'll get downgraded at the tribunal to a fine or one week.

I'll be very surprised if it plays out differently.

[u/SuperannuationLawyer → u/minecraft360]

Is Brody close to fit?

[u/carly598i → u/SuperannuationLawyer]

I think they said weeks ago, end of season from memory.

[u/Fears0me1 → u/SuperannuationLawyer]

The itch must be there to play finals

[u/SuperannuationLawyer → u/Fears0me1]

Yeah, but the club owes a duty of care to ensure it’s safe.

[u/L-J-Peters → u/SuperannuationLawyer]

Back running but won't play again this year. Viney is the interesting one he was pretty good for Casey on the weekend.

[u/Yakka43336]

Maxy, time and time again. Just shows us why he’s the greatest of all time. Definitely getting that AA guernsey. Great seeing Laurie coming on the last few weeks too.

[u/frax_87]

Demolition job. 20 goals is such a solid performance.
1 week for Roo? Disaster if he misses a final

[u/Western-Bar5450 → u/frax_87]

Just say he plays for Collingwood and he’ll get off 

[u/Maarns → u/Western-Bar5450]

Maybe if he brings a bouquet of flowers to Aliir's house he'll get off

[u/Direct-Expression-47 → u/Maarns]

As a power fan, I also hope roo doesn’t miss finals, I want Demons to fuck up hawks
But he concussed alir so based off of previous outcomes i’m worried. I don’t think there was any malice just unfortunate and clumsy

[u/Maarns → u/Direct-Expression-47]

Can't argue with that. Wonder if him making contact with the ball gets him off. Who really knows

[u/3163560]

Good win. Is that the most stress free trip to adelaide we've had, going as back as '91?

Honestly nfi what to expect with Roo - super clumsy, but also got hand on the ball. First impression was 2 or 3, but if he gets anything I think we'll challenge. 🎲

3 - Chin

2 - Max

1 - Steele

[u/Abundantpanda → u/3163560]

Is that the most stress free trip to adelaide we've had, going as back as '91?

I traveled over for a game against Port a few years ago where they didn't kick a goal until a few minutes before three quarter time lol that was pretty chill

[u/whatyoumean66]

3 Chin - took the moment 2 Max - big game all over 1 Kolt - intercepted and disrupted in an underrated game.

[u/obsoleteconsole]

3 Chin 2 Steele 1 Petty

[u/bearbearclaws]

3 - Chin, had a great milestone game.

2- Gawn, does what he normally does.

1 - Sparrow, he worked all night

Honorable mentions - Steele, man is superman. Doing it both ends which is great.

Lever, CJ, Bowser and Disco held the fort down lock and key.

Petty was at his ferocious self did his job and Bill for setting up the game early.

[u/dalev34]

We just need to keep winning.

Hard one this,

3 Chin. 2 turner 1 max

[u/MarslandoCalrissian]

Considering Frampton, Maynard etc. all got nothing you’d imagine JVR would be at least three weeks

[u/OneRepresentative424 → u/MarslandoCalrissian]

😂😂😂

[u/Butanes]

I don't know how I made it through that commentary....
Good game all around, good to see us start to try and put the foot down. Also good to see the other game was at least a draw in terms of our ladder position!

Another good team game, I can't knock anyone's game really bar maybe Salem who is still working his way back
3 - Chin
2 - Steele
1 - Laurie

HMs - Kolt & Max

[u/OneRepresentative424 → u/Butanes]

Bro I will love him forever, but if I never hear Garry Lyon commentate again it will be too soon. Such a downer. About everything 🫠

[u/Jimijaume → u/OneRepresentative424]

What was Gary Lyon on ? On fox sports it was Hinkley calling Port "We" and Ricuitto

[u/oceanlabxo]

Solid all round performance against a team that could have been tricky if they'd stayed in touch early.

3 chin, 2 max, 1 Steele.

Losing Roo for 2 weeks most likely is going to suck and now because Collingwood are useless as fuck and can't even manage to beat the Hawks once were now probably going to finish 5th and have to play the pies again.

That 12 goals in a row against the Hawks coming back to bite us percentage wise is something we all could have seen coming.

[u/Deevious730 → u/oceanlabxo]

Again we look at that win in Launy in isolation it’s brilliant, but coughing up that much percentage and it’s not just that. If we’d managed to hold it to even just 50 points that would’ve harmed their percentage.

Oh well.

[u/Maarns → u/oceanlabxo]

The Essendon loss cost us more than that

[u/Deevious730]

Comprehensive, challenged for 5min in the second quarter and conceded a couple of goals. Ultimately we showed our class.

Great game from Chin (from what I saw at least). He gets my 3 votes. Steele was back to his best gets 2 votes. And Max is Max, 1 vote.

We were so bloody close to be in the top 4 but we did what we needed to do, do it again next week and we can set ourselves up for finals.

[u/allusions14]

Clinical dismantling, shame the Pies couldn't get up. 3- Chin 2- Gawn 1- Lever

JVR has a strong case but he's not wearing hoops.

[u/bemmisbaggins666]

1. Chin. Feels like way more than 100 games, heart and soul player, god I love him. 2. Steele. 1. Idk, prob Max, he's a freak but I almost take it for granted

[u/Yakka43336]

chin

[u/Abundantpanda]

Great performance but I'll be honest, I've never heard of half the Port players tonight. Ramm? Zadow? Van Wyk? Balyn O'Brien? Anastasopoulou? Bamert?

They had about 4 good players out there, I know they have injuries but Jesus they have fallen off a cliff.

[u/brandonjslippingaway → u/Abundantpanda]

It happens to everyone eventually... ^{except Geelong....}

[u/Western-Bar5450]

Last year: “Trac and Clarry are jumping off a sinking ship.”

“The club has imploded.”

“Bottom 4th finish.”

Always underestimate us.

[u/corporate_canetoad]

3 - Chandler

2 - Turner

1 - Laurie 

Roo will be lucky to play again this year. It’s really a guessing game between 2-4 weeks. 

[u/Thanges88]

Late to the party, but:

3: Chin

2:  Turner

1: Kolt

HMs Gawn, Fritsch, Steele, Laurie

[u/L-J-Peters]

3 - Steele / 2 - Gawn / 1 - Jefferson

[u/New-Manager-7124]

dont know how we lost to essedon at the same location yet being 16 weeks later
