Looks like that message might have got blurred on sunday against port..not much of a defensive action was evidenthttps://www.afl.com.au/news/559641
"IT'S NOT f@$#ing tennis ... If you don't want to defend, if that's not your priority, grab your bag, put your shoes in it and walk out."
That was the brutal ultimatum delivered by Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks to his midfield - or maybe just Brad Crouch - early last season.”
So why did the Crows supporters get so upset when he left? Didn't your coach tell him to.
Player gets told to go, Player goes, club and supporters upset.
reading is hard isn’t it?
Don't know just calling it as I saw it last November when your club made a fool of your supporters.
Doesn't matter, you cleared out a player who wont be in your next tilt, got a whole bunch of top end young players and can start the climb up the ladder. Just thought it was amusing that Nicks goes all heavy handed and then you lot carry on when he leaves, no biggie, bye.

There are a lot of us not upset in the least by this bloke leaving. Wait till mid-season and then tell us how the trade went. He may not be in your best 22 by then.
We had many games like that last year as well. Disappointing to see it return this year.Looks like that message might have got blurred on sunday against port..not much of a defensive action was evident

They topped up pretty hard over the last few years.The most 'alarming' fact re: Crouch's decision to join Saints is their age profile. If they aren't winning a flag this year or next, they could be entering rebuild territory.

I wonder where Jack Bytel is with his back issues, he was one helluva midfield prospect when they drafted him albeit he was set for back surgery?They topped up pretty hard over the last few years.
This year
Brad Crouch - 27
James Frawley 32
Shaun McKernan - 30
Paul Hunter - 27
Mason Wood - 27
Last year
Paddy Ryder - 32
Brad Hill - 27
Zak Jones - 25
2019 -
Dan Hannebery - 30
Even a lot of their draft picks they've in the 3rd round onwards in the draft over that period have been on 22-24 year olds who can contribute now, but may not have massive amounts of improvement in them.
It's gotten them to the point where they made the finals last year and were hoping for top 4 this year, but you could argue the level of overall improvement in their side, outside of a few players like Max King, Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield, is limited.
They just dropped him to bring Crouch back in. He had 10 tackles in Round 1, which is something they probably could have done with yesterday.I wonder where Jack Bytel is with his back issues, he was one helluva midfield prospect when they drafted him albeit he was set for back surgery?
Injured again?

Played the first 2 games.I wonder where Jack Bytel is with his back issues, he was one helluva midfield prospect when they drafted him albeit he was set for back surgery?
Injured again?
King and Steele are guns, Clark and Coffield are very good too. Marshall once fit again.Where are their kids? I’m stunned at who they have picked up - would any be considered A graders? Perhaps Hill and Hannebery was but now injury prone.
Most of these players are just mercenaries.
Yeah I just checked 20% game time his last game which points to injured again I guessPlayed the first 2 games.
