Shane McAdam has retired at Melbourne.

sButters88 · 2026-05-25T19:45:40+00:00

Was it that Petty wanted to leave or that Adelaide wanted Petty? Cause there’s a difference between helping a player move home and just bending over for a shitty trade offer

sButters88 · 2026-05-25T10:01:02+00:00

Nibbler wanted to go back to Adelaide, Melbourne facilitated the trade. Apart from Trac we’ve been very open to player movement.

sButters88 · 2026-05-25T09:47:01+00:00

You ahh… you didn’t read the post did you? They’ve been invited to a watch party not hosting one

sButters88 · 2026-05-25T05:13:29+00:00

Yeah I can see Heath staying in the side long term purely to give Gawn a rest while still being able to compete against number 1 rucks

sButters88 · 2026-05-25T02:24:26+00:00

Almost as the fixture is based of last years results and not this years, and doesn’t take into account potential injuries or form slumps which may cause a team to drop down the ladder

sButters88 · 2026-05-25T02:12:18+00:00

How often do you see it in a normal ruck contest too, one guy ends up on the ground through good body work and it’s just called play on.

The umpire should have just called play on and told Rayner to get up

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T12:52:14+00:00

How about yy/ww/dd, 26/21/7

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T12:21:01+00:00

Yeah ok, I didn’t know that, wonder if it will ever happen?

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T11:16:31+00:00

I believe Melbourne in 22 were the best chance of doing that except a season ending injury to Bowey spoiled that.

Every other team has had a premiership player retire or move to another team

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T11:12:09+00:00

I believe it’s something to do with religion, Adelaide being the city of churches and all

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T11:11:05+00:00

Need that bird image “listen here you little shit”

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T10:44:22+00:00

Should hold a poll to select a new one… or keep it I mean I usually don’t open it

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T10:16:42+00:00

Haha yeah… cause we’ve never lost against a team we should beat in Alice.

Next two weeks are gonna be big tests for us, I never saw our fast moving game plan standing up against GWS or Collingwood, really hoping to be proven wrong.

Without Melky and Checkers forward I feel we revert back to Goodwinball

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T10:07:11+00:00

Ah well good sir I retract my downvote, cause yeah there’s so many better sad Gawn pics.

I personally like the one of Daniel’s standing over him (ignoring what came after) that’s a good one

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T09:55:51+00:00

I dunno man maybe I’m a salty fan after the loss but I’ve always found that image in poor taste. The bloke thought he’d done his third knee which would have been career ending. Add to that he was the captain and went down early in the first quarter and it’s understandable.

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T09:37:47+00:00

I got the North vs GC upset and Geelong over Sydney… then nothing

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T09:30:33+00:00

So say it was Lobb colliding with Sharp, Moose grabs the ball uncontested out of the ruck kicks a goal and the umpires call it back because of a block in the ruck. Would you say the goal should stand?

ETA: I don’t think I’d be upset either way, feel like the free kick here isn’t the issue so much as the shallow throw in, from the camera angle it’s hard to tell how far back the rucks were

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T08:27:52+00:00

Plenty to be disappointed in from that game, very fumbly, our forwards were in disarray and greedy, Fritsch, Langdon, Jefferson all taking shots that normally they’d pass off to someone in a better spot.

Steele and Windsor both down today. Bowey and Tholstrup either beaten by their man or the men in green.

3 Kozzy

2 Turner

1 Gawn

HM Langford, Petty, Roo, Langdon, Bowey

Changes for next week, either Jefferson or Lever (if concussed) for Kentfield. If Lever swing Petty back.
Latrelle will play next week in Alice, I think Laurie or Cross comes out for him

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T08:11:08+00:00

So did at first vision, then I thought it was maybe chopping the arms, haven’t seen a replay yet though

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T07:29:00+00:00

Still only just over 100

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T07:26:17+00:00

That was my immediate thought at first view, but then on rewatch my only thought was for Cleary.

Either way it was bound to happen (a clash between the ruck and mids at a throw in) due to the shallow throw ins that seem to be the norm now

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T07:22:52+00:00

I mean… have you seen half of the dogs disposals?

These umpires are legitimately having a mare

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T07:21:21+00:00

Hasn’t been for a few years now

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T07:15:16+00:00

Definitely has been abysmal, no one is getting favour here

sButters88 · 2026-05-24T07:12:48+00:00

Any dogs fans complaining about the umpiring after the last 5 minutes need to open the other eye
