Dees and Tigers are moving in the right direction, finally. It only took a few years of wooden spoons and playing like a complete pile of shite, but they're on their way now. On the flip side the Crows have picked a great time to hit rock bottom and could end up with a spoon and SFA to go with it - although I think they'll manage to avoid it.

Awesome effort from Jack Riewoldt on the weekend, a 10 goal haul. Leading the Coleman in a team currently sitting 16th is a fair effort.

Well as good as it was to watch Freo thump Port it was an absolute tragedy to see Barlow go off with a broken leg and most prob out for Freo's finals run :-( Barlow is an absolute machine, he was currently sitting in the top 3 favourites for the brownlow medal in his first year of AFL football!!!

Completely f**king disgraceful. It's like they werent even trying / like they didnt give a shit. Running around casually. (Some players more than others)

True embarrassment. The crows are going to wipe the fkn floor with us next showdown

Yeah Deano, I'm thinking that if we don't win soon, that we will be battling West Coast for the wooden spoon.

Choco is pretty much dead man walking and his off the cuff statement in yesterday's paper was possibly intentional to help get him pushed out the door early so he can join his mate Sheeds up north.

If Choco has to go, he needs to go now so we can at least groom Ladley before they snap him up to GC.

IMO Melbourne and Essendon might have made the Crows look a little better than they actually are, so I wouldn't be too worried yet.

I must be psycho psychic!!! :)

until we know whether the final year of his contract was paid out by the club (cause Gordon Pickard didn't dip his hand in his pocket) then everything is speculation.......it seems at this stage that it was mutual.

Oh well, looks like Sheeds has a new assistant coming soon to Northern Sydney

not just an assistant but a pioneer for a new club........he's been at the helm and the brunt of the media for over a decade now so probably had a gutfull and wants to take start enjoying life a bit more with his many kids.

If he was pushed, then I'm sure that he was paid out for next year.....like I said, only time will tell

its pretty sad. not that i really care who coaches port, he was there for a long time and picked them up from a mediocre club to one that won a premiership. nothing anyone can say can take that away from him, as it proved he as a coach had what it takes - how does this years team compare to the premiership team?

Reminds me of the unceremonial way they dumped poor Cahill... least they gave choc the option of saving face and resiging.

and pete, if he goes to sydney and they beat port next season at the end of the ladder i daresay hes going to be a very happy chap

But that is the nature of the business, everyone loves you when your winning, but i guarantee you, if Geelong loses 5 in a row, they will be calling for Thompsons head. Unfortunately it is not like the workplace where one would reward loyalty to the organisation, otherwise coaches would never bloody leave.

Crows already did that this year (7 in a row)

having said that, it's like a total reversal of form between both SA teams from earlier in the year............gonna be a loooooooong season :(

Actually Pete the Crows beat Richmond in round 7 so they only lost 6 in a row. Crows will also regain Bock, McLeod, Knights, Burton & Mackay in the next couple of weeks. If they can find form and match fitness the Crows have a very slight chance of making the 8 but will more likely shape the ranking of the final 8 but ultimately miss out on September action.

IMO Choco was shoved out the door but is getting some payments (although it is rumoured to be less than his full contract). It will be interesting to see how the players respond. Historically clubs win the game immediately after a mid-season change of coach for often than not. However, the game against the WBD in Darwin (I think) will be a tough ask.

It's nice to see the Crows above the Power though. :P

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
