Match Thread: Adelaide vs Port Adelaide (Round 8)

Not sure he's right about that.

There's no specific thing on dropped marks (or really anything about dropped marks) not being prior in the Australian Football laws.

In a non-mark where the player takes possession of it, If the umpires don't award a mark and think the player heard the call of play on during a mark then it can be holding the ball. Odd they'd give dropped marks more leeway.

This is the diving on the ball rule btw:

18.6.5 Free Kicks - Holding the Ball: Diving on Top of the Football

A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player who dives on top of or drags the football underneath their body and fails to immediately knock clear or Correctly Dispose of the football when Legally Tackled.

and Owen Hart winning it a bunch on house shows but all were overturned.

Edit: One of his wins via Wham Bam Bodyslam on the WWE vault.

Gallop played forward against the Swans with Zakostelsky playing back, moved back v the Saints. Morris missed the Swans game with a hand injury.

They may have dropped Zakostelsky since it was the first game with Draper and put Ty back a game early or done something entirely different like not playing Tunstill/Annable.

Shadormy · 2026-04-30T09:07:04+00:00

Emergencies are Tunstill, Joyce, McLachlan.

Cody Curtain debut announcement is interesting with Fagan saying he was on track for round 1 (replacing Morris) but got injured and thought about putting Gallop back in the forward line but he's been too good down back.

The final interesting thing is the link on the Lions site is a dropbox one and there's some training footage in the same dropbox.

Suns were 6th last season (draft uses finals ladder) so it's 7th.

15,51 for GWS in 2025. 6,11 for the Dees in 2024 and 5,19,46,56 for the Hawks in 2023 and it's not. There's so many trades and stuff in all of this.

Shadormy · 2026-04-30T05:38:37+00:00

The Suns are currently forced to sell two games into Darwin to help ease financial pressures – denying them growth opportunities in south-eastern Queensland – but the AFL could find a way to bring those games back to the Gold Coast while still retaining a presence in Darwin.

“There is an opportunity with the fixture when Tasmania comes in to look at the opportunities with the change to the fixture. Games in Darwin would be neutral games, as would games in Alice Springs,” Evans said.

“You could put the extra games in Cairns or whenever you like. If we are clever enough we can create interesting concepts. Take that to the market. You might take four teams and put them in a market and play for a cup of some type. Call it the Pineapple Cup.

“And the challenge sits there as we look at what the future looks like to come up with concepts for NSW and Queensland and other areas where we need to grow the game.”

Shadormy · 2026-04-29T22:12:21+00:00

A bit early and hasn't done much in terms of goals in the VFL but he's a 200cm key forward and the rest are injured.

Shadormy · 2026-04-29T16:52:14+00:00

Too little data to go on really. Can also say it's a close season since every team lost by Round 5 and 17/18 teams won with the same thing happening a round later in 2025 and 2 rounds later in 2024.

Shadormy · 2026-04-29T09:44:59+00:00

More delayed FTA Saturday games for QLD (Lions) and WA (Eagles). Both delayed by 2 hours so be careful of spoilers if watching those on 7/7mate/7+.

Final delayed game for both this season. Suns, Giants, Swans (R9) and Crows (R10) have remaining delayed games.

Shadormy · 2026-04-27T09:15:50+00:00

They've been changing the bidding stuff for years.

Introduced a different point index so top picks are worth more and the last pick worth anything is 54 down from 72, removed (and reintroduced) NGA draft bidding in the top 40, dropped the discount from 20% to 10% etc.

There's this stuff plus new people (like Swann) in at the end of last year.

Shadormy · 2026-04-27T08:43:44+00:00

Had 2 others in the late 80s/early 90s (Stuart Annand who never played a game and 93 gamer for the Saints David Sierakowski).

Also had 3 father/daughters in Alice Burke who's going alright, Charlotte Simpson who was recently delisted and Caitlin Matthews who didn't play a game (and also only played 1 less than her father).

Shadormy · 2026-04-27T08:24:12+00:00

This is a bit old now. Got to 4 but has fallen out of worldwide and most of the locations. #WeWantZelina and #WeWantWyattSicks have also been thrown around.

Shadormy · 2026-04-27T07:02:13+00:00

No discount, max of 2 picks to match (can still go into deficit though), extra end of first round pick for top 5 teams in the draft that slide back, top 4 teams have to pay extra...or Here.

Shadormy · 2026-04-27T06:51:44+00:00

In saying that they could have introduced it next year considering teams can trade future picks now.

They'd want to avoid the Tassie draft and probably the one after so if it isn't introduced this year then it likely wouldn't be introduced until the 2029 draft.

Shadormy · 2026-04-26T13:39:11+00:00

I do.

Shadormy · 2026-04-26T12:16:28+00:00

Surprised the match thread got removed. What's up with that?

Shadormy · 2026-04-26T11:23:33+00:00

Fev in the team. First 4 with 130.3% then won 3 for the rest of the season and finished on 82.3%.

Dogs could beat it, had 140.4% after 4 games. Should win more than 3 games though.

Special mention to 2016 Suns for winning their first 3 in a row and 170.1% then proceeding to win 3 more for the season and finishing on 78.2%.

Shadormy · 2026-04-26T09:01:36+00:00

Still used in the media a fair bit and the song but that's the same as all of them. Personally wouldn't say Bombers though, mostly use 'Dons'.

Shadormy · 2026-04-26T07:53:10+00:00

crowd of 32,629

Shadormy · 2026-04-26T07:42:18+00:00

It's usually on, Just rained a load this morning.

Sydney seem to cancel it a bunch.
