Gallucci, Poholke, Murphy, Jones (taken 3 picks before Zak Butters), McAsey, McHenry, and a stack more......

Sure, but not before we get 2 more gun mids in. So sick of our midfield being second rate. It's time we used our highest draft picks on gun mids.

The Roar - Carlton v Adelaide This is an excellent summary of the game, especially highlighting Rankine’s elite running - over 14 k’s for the game, burst speed we’ve been lacking, 6 marks inside 50 + 3 goals, fastest player on the ground at 32.5 km/h, etc…..

Adelaide finally put Rankine, Rachelle, Berry etc in the guts for a large portion of the game, and what do you know, we beat Carlton away. We need more depth but our young players are looking OK. Michallaney excellent, Jones improved, Worrall strong, Soligo (absolute star in the making)...

And I love that your idiotic post in this thread has been quoted time and time again, and made you look completely moronic:

Soligo freaking immense. Berry in the last excellent. Thank God for that. We believe again.

Lol. Burst speed, ability to break lines, ability to kick over 35-40 metres, are 2 massive flag-winning factors in premiership midfields. The 3 port players can all do that. Soligo can't. Again - you've got NO IDEA saying he's the best player in Adelaide. Have a look at Port's win over Essendon...

Oh dear, what a delusional comment. Love Soligo. But he's not a patch on Rozee, Butters,Horne-Francis. He's a midget for a start. You've got no idea.

Nicks is part of the problem but certainly not the full picture. Take a look at our recruiting over the last 6 years and you may start to get some idea of why our list is where it is. We have about 8-10 AFL standard players. But we also have: Chayce Jones Sam Berry Lachy Murphy Ben Keays Ned...

Yes they will do us. But Gawn won't annihilate O'Brien. Gawn will beat him around the ground due to his superior marking but O'Brien has become a clearance machine in close, getting 9 clearances on his own against Geelong. He is also ahead of Gawn for Hitouts and Hitouts to advantage - O'Brien...

No, we just beat an unbeaten Carlton by 10 goals. It wasn't that big a deal.

2018 - we take Jones at pick 9, Butters goes at 12, McHenry to us at 16. Cool stuff

Delivery into the forward line will win or lose us this game

This game ONCE AGAIN showed we have wasted 5-6 (actually 20) years drafting everything except what wins flags - elite midfielders. Our last decent midfield was Ricciuto Goodwin McLeod Edwards. They finished nearly 20 years ago. This isn’t all on Nicks at all. It’s on f****** Reid and Ogilvie!

Yes, we will. If not 50+.

The whole concept of Round 0 shows how much the AFL have lost the plot. Absolute joke.

Mate you're a broken ****ing record. Filled this match day thread with your port adelaide bias crap. Reckon we've heard enough.

It's not counter-intuitive, it's insanity. He had 20 clearances last week. That's simply insane. W

Berry tagging Rowell will go a long way to getting us the win. No. 1 tackler in the AFL 2 years ago. Get it done.

I was replying to your original point, which was that Gaff was outrun by Fogarty, like that's pathetic. Lots of players will be outrun by the Fog. He's bloody quick.

Fogarty is very fast. Most people don't realise how quick he is as he's such a big unit.

Yep fair enough

OK so can someone refresh me on why we didn't nominate Luke Edwards as F-S? Only thing I can see is Tyson's weird behaviour towards the club after he retired. But he was touted as a first round pick on 2020 and we didn't even nominate him. Seems bizarre. Or maybe he's just not that good! All...

Free Kick Hawthorn game - Adel v Hawthorn Prelim Final 2012. There were a stack of moments that ensured Hawthorn made the GF.

Kelly has never done anything, he averages 19 FFS. I have no idea why he is in the team beyond being quick around the field.

If they had any kind of ability to acknowledge when an opposition player does something good/impressive in any sport, we wouldn't hate them so much. But they just can't.

You realise Adelaide were without Lynn (2nd highest run scorer in the BBL this season) and Overton (Highest wicket taker in BBL this season)? Bottom line is Adelaide outsmarted Perth bowling all spin and executed brilliantly.

So sort of like Adelaide losing the 2nd highest run scorer this year (Lynn), and also the leading wicket taker in the comp (Overton).
