Game Day Crows vs Brisvegas big boys trip
A great example of if a side plays a glut of mediocre ball movers with limited composure in your half back line, the best will punish them. Can't move the ball out of D50 without bombing, and players are crumbling under pressure (even percieved). Time to **** Bond off to the SANFL. He has a... -
Game Day Crows vs Brisvegas big boys trip
Solid quarter, but still, getting the ball out of the D50 is the noose for this iteration of Adelaide. Other than that, it's good to hear a report Thilthorpe is getting over his back issue (mentioned in the kayo broadcast), and Rankine is finally looking like Rankine. -

Josh Daicos for gun wing to half back. Which I had already supplied. Noting it was a near instant move for a the then AA wing (i.e. AA wing 2023, half back round 1 2024). Most teams are smart enough to convert early in the piece if they don't see the option as an inside midfield viable. After... -

But we're not umming and arring because we're not playing him. We've currently made the call that he's at the bottom of the pile and we're delisting him. It is the height of foolishness to think we need to see someone at AFL level to make a decision. Nicks and co. have seen Dowling 100s of... -

Yup, and my answer to the follow up is I couldn't care less if you get that call wrong. Better to make the call, either way, then have someone linger on your list for an extra 1-2 years because you're umming and arring if they should be here or not. -

Coaching to the opposition is something you can never accuse Nicks of when it comes to selection. The dude is very much a put your best 23 as often as you can and sort it from there kind of coach. Though he does have a habit of being a tad too proactive with getting his depth involved (mainly... -

Ideally Billy never does at this stage. We've clearly made our decision that four years in, he's the at best case, the 36th player on our list. Much like Lachie Sholl, there should just be line in permanent marker put through him now. -

Still, sets up a super interesting play-and-in for the showdown with Maley and Murray if that does transpire. -

Nah, his game against Centrals screamed a guy who was 100% ready. Sure, one more game is probably a "better safe than sorry" approach, but Sid was at the point the game was slowing down for him. Plus he was ripping through them with his burst pace. There was a quote from Hinkley last week... -

ANB now injured? This season really has that stink of us not getting over the injury bug. Disappointed not to see Draper in the lineup, but that's about it comments wise. -

That's a I have no idea about modern football opinion. After all, there has been a 20-year arms race where the best ball movers are moved to the half back line because of how important it is to have a way out of the trap teams set up. -

And Nicks is absolutely correct not to, Cummings is not the answer there. It's Cook who needs to go back. Adelaide needs a class of disposal/damage that Issac doesn't provide (outside of his career year in 2022). After all, it's worth noting that GWS actively chose to move away from Issac as a... -

Plenty of players have and will continue to make a career at 177 cm of height. Not like he's struggling to push 165 cm.
