Welcome Welcome to Adelaide - Callum Ah Chee, Pick 1 PSD 2025
Agree but really more at play was 'swinging dick' List manager who was utterly out of his talent range. Allowed his spectacular ego to override a kid who has just played a major role in back to back/Premierships & that his contribution was an equivalent contribution ! Clubs are full of overrated... -

Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2
Truth is the midfield didn't choke the clueless Coach did !! Pike blamed the players for the 2017 performance Nicks is doing the same thing & we don't make him accountable. Development of players is a priority of any coach in the AFL ! So called "organic growth " is code for player development... -

Coach Nicks will play him there !! -

Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025
Gross mismanagement of defence minded unimaginative coaches & incompetent player development has cost the careers of Jones, Schoenberg, and potentially Pedlar, Taylor, Draper and possibly Edwards & Ryan. Fagan played eight players drafted since 2021 in the Grand Final ! Giving preference to... -

List Mgmt. 2025 Premiership(s) List Making and Trading
The pending new ruck rules for 2026 will make ROB almost redundant. Ruck emphasis will be on jumping for the ball so Gawn, Xerri, Briggs and Witts will be invaluable. We need to recruit a ruck who can leap & use his body to best advantage. The taller the better. I would talk to North & offer... -

Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025
Given the rabble North are and the preference to play Xerri Taylor Goad should be on our radar. 20 years old 207cm ex Adelaide and has had a great VFL season. Would walk into our best team.. -

Anyone remember Gibbs farce ? Petracca's potential recruitment is history repeating itself ! -

Where do we need to improve next year?
So true !! Good coaches develop game plans utilizing the talents of the squad. Nicks' strength is player relationships & nothing else. He is weak on game strategy, stubborn & unreactive during games. He cannot take this group any further & needs to be moved on. The last thing we need is another... -

Review Semi final vs Hawthorn - Ugly, Historically Embarrassing and Pathetic
Minor Premiership gives you SFA but a double chance & home final. Nicks knows in the AFL it is meaningless unlike the EPL. I would have preferred him to say "WE FAILED " but that requires an honest real analysis of his role. We have paid an enormous price for a limited coach an ultra... -

List Mgmt. 2025 Premiership(s) List Making and Trading
We will never be a strong side while the coach/club refuses to develop his list. While coaches pets like Murphy, Smith, Scholl, Cook & Laird are being gifted games it limits the opportunities for Curtin, Draper, Pedlar Taylor. Edwards, Ryan & others to gain AFL experience. I would think Draper... -

Always drags his feet in matters involving AFC ! Teflon Pete, Mr Untouchable ...bit late to the fracas mate ! -

Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025
Dawson was adamant he always wanted to play the team he followed as a kid ! Dawson had/has leadership scrawled all over him ! I see with NWM no such traits, as much as he's allowed others to speak for him Burgoyne has actively promoted his mate-ship & the desire to play together ! Given the... -

Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025
I’m really keen to see both Wanganeen-Milera and Sinclair in the centre square where the collage is, where the great teams have their best players, where the action starts, where the opportunities are created, rather than sitting at half back, not minding opponents as much as is required because... -

Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025
Want nothing to do with a bloke who is not interested in playing finals football in a Premiership contending team ! "Avoid at all costs signs " all over this bloke on that point alone ! St Kilda are at least 6/7 years away & Port have to rebuild & will require years of hard draft work ! Let... -

Preview R16: Changes vs. Richmond Tigers (after the bye)
Reckon Reid & Ogilvie must tear their hair out in dealing with this incompetent clown we have as senior coach ! The snail pace development of players is a joke. He will never develop this list even if given another 3 years which appears likely ! I'm a fan of Curtin but bewildered by a senior...
