If you can’t see the inherit advantage posed by the extra dollars available from external business interests and media contracts, the fact that all grand finals are away games, the constant changing of draft rules to facilitate the bigger vic clubs and the inconsistent punishments based on which...

Totally agree. True rivalries are brilliant. AFC and PAFC is just a marketing rivalry that affords the AFL an excuse to constantly serve up less than equitable outcomes to both teams and get away with it. Until the wider fan bases realise that (and I’m not sure they ever will) nothing will...

I don’t post often. I don’t really follow the game any more truth be told. But morbid curiosity got the better of me and I thought I’d log on tonight. I get why people are pumped. The down the road rival went out in straight sets. Lol feelsgoodman. But we shouldn’t be celebrating. We...

Shhh! Guys stop complaining! At least you finished above Adelaide! That’s all that matters, right? Or… at least that narrative will eventually be pushed by the media junket. And when the cycle flips and the AFC are slightly more successful but still fall ultimately short against the ridiculous...

Consider me an honorary fan. My best mate was a huge Pies man before he passed away and to watch that in the flesh in his honour was just magnificent and a little bit emotional. Reckon you lot should come with a warning that you’re not recommended for people with underlying heart conditions...

Scuse the intrusion, I come in peace. Glaringly obvious that neither SA club will have success in the near future. Even more apparent having moved away from SA and now an outsider looking in who finds the current state of AFL (particularly in SA) to be an absolute abomination. The biggest...

I lurk just to keep track of how he’s going even though I barely contribute anymore, so that’s a fair measure of what the man means. I was fortunate enough to spend grand final eve in person with the man. Nobody else I would rather get off guts with and wind up at a goth bar in Melbourne at...

I love that they singlehandedly killed what was once the most important hobby in my world. The financial outlay, time save and lack of emotion I now hold towards the AFL in general has meant I can blissfully drift through my weekend with relatively little fluctuations in my emotions. These...

“You try telling Dave Mackay he can’t have a spot on our list”

Stop drinking the kool aid. If Crouch was this hideous off field problem that the AFC apologists would have you believe then the club should’ve been on the front foot before the offseason got into full gear and made it clear they would be letting him walk regardless and would seek to garner the...

Tried to bluff and failed - lol. Sack him. Sack Reid. Shut the club down. It’s a gross little SANFL bastard child.

Because we haven’t thrown in pick 1 yet and they’re coming back for seconds?

As supporters you all should be mad as hell. There is no rational way from a risk management approach the club can justify not matching this ludicrously low pick. Complete roll over by the whipping boys of the competition... And yet I’ve logged on for my annual post with no anger, nor...

Just give it up already dudes. Club is cooked. I haven’t watched a second of football this year and it’s been one of the most cathartic experiences of my life.

This is devastating news. I gave up on football and bigfooty in general but as someone who actually got to meet the enigma that is deaneus in person this is heartbreaking. As soon as I read the email with a thread dedicated to him I was back on in a flash. Stay strong brother, you are loved...

I’ve fallen out of love with football as a whole and the club’s leadership makes that even easier. I moved away from the city of Adelaide 13 years ago and have less and less of a connection with my home state. I’ll always love the place, I’ll always have fond memories, but the football club and...

Make a post about his deformed thumbs. It’s red rag to a bull material.

I’m a big fan (at his best) and I think he’s a difference maker/modern footballer (complete with head ducking and niggling) I truly hope he recaptures that because I think he can add something unique.

I get what you’re saying but outperforming the resident AFL basket case of the last decade isn’t exactly something to hang your hat on.

Just remember people, we’re not done yet. There’s still time right up until draft night for Reid to make some terrible trades involving draft picks too. We might be able to downgrade our pick to outside the top 10 AND offload our future first.

How lucky were we that the guys we ranked 1-5 in the upcoming draft were still available at each of our first 5 picks too.

Barrett suggesting Crouch for 15 earlier was miles off. With Reid at the helm we’d be lucky to get a second rounder.

There’s reasons why we accepted the deals we did ST. All will be revealed in due course - it’s just not the right time to share this information right now.

I said competent

I’m willing to trade pick 4 and Reid for a competent list manager. Time to conduct a review to get that f*ck out of the football club

If Reid has folded then he should make like the other Reid and f*ck off

Amen

The trade period is so f*cking s**t. Stupid AFL and their manufactured ‘tension’ Wake a brother up when it’s done.

I thought his press conference was impressive. Wasn’t my preferred candidate for no reason at all but certainly making the right noise. Still a long way to go to turn this football club around but we’re already infinitely better positioned just by removing two and adding one. Next stop - Chapman.
