Those 2 examples of Richmond and Geelong had 1 thing in common, Neil Balme arriving. Similar to Collingwood when he arrived in 2000 and they played in GF in 2002 and 2003.
Whatever he brings to the table clubs should be looking for because the changes are significant and instant.
Sorting out...
Good effort, camp, burton, hass hamstrings, Bailey tanking, GC priority picks, Keays goal and theres a sleuth of others.
Burgess, Dawson, Rankine, Oliver, Michaelanny would say tide is turning
Harris Andrews is the outliner.
Teams that focus more on rebound are happy to go a bit shorter so looks like a trade off is worth it unless you got a Darcy Moore type that is gold.
We dont have a lot of talls on the list but Worrell, Butts Murray all at 195cm and Keane 194cm compare favourably to most other sides.
If Murray is gone then absolutely we need a KPD imo. Worrell I have no issue with, he's a gun.
I dont think Butts is a KPD personally, certainly more an...
Media are often puppets for faceless men so it only takes one or two powerbrokers to ignite the fire. Look at Sheedy last year. Dew this year was from inside first. Kennett with Clarkson.
Tex and Dawson performances have masked a lot of errors and taken the heat off Nicks over the past 2...
Just because you go to the draft doesn't mean young players will get to certain levels of games if selection policy isn't that way inclined and one must allow for injuries etc. Milera, Doedee, McPherson, Taylor, Rankine, Hamill to name a few.
Worrell and Doedee are classic cases of guys...
Funny how the default is comparing to NM.
Why not compared our 20-22 y.o to WB 2016 side?
Youth is not NM issue its being a basket case club.
When we got pumped the most it was with Sloane, Laird , MCrouch and little to do with youth.
If you keep playing to many older players who arent going...
Think about why?
How many games have been given to players leaving, retiring or simply not up to it vs the kids over the past 4 years?
Likes of TT, Berry could easily be over 50 games and someone like Worrell should be well above 12.
Keep making excuses for a guy that sways with the wind instead...
The level of incompetence is embarrassing but not as bad as how long its taken a lot of people to wake up and some still haven't.
When taking into consideration Burgess influence and lack of injuries, inclusion of Rankine and Dawson and Texs resurgence thr overall improvement is bog average to...
Since 2018 13 picks under 30 and how many are starting midfielders? 0.00
We have to go back 10 years to 2013 for the last genuine starting midfielder from the main draft being M Crouch. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Picks 1, 5 (Rankine), 6, 6, 9 , 11, 16 (plus McAdam), 17 (Dawson), 17 (Michalanney F/S), 24, 25, 28...
Out coached by a rookie coach twice in the same year.
Will be a run of the mill coach that enjoys the complacency of Adelaide hierachy until the outside noise becomes to loud.
