    Preview R10: Changes vs. North Melbourne - Match of the Round

    I think we're actually agreeing here. Our recruiters assessed that Charlie Edwards (for example) was worth spending pick 21 on, but our coaches immediately dismissed that and made him start from the same position as everyone else. If we had gone "oh wow, this guy has talent that should be...

    Preview R10: Changes vs. North Melbourne - Match of the Round

    Draft position matters in the sense that a group of experts have already determined a player's potential quality based on what they've observed Unless you want to completely throw out that assessment and dismiss what the talent ID experts think, draft position should matter in terms of...

    I wonder what our cumulative free tally is over our history in the competition? I'd be shocked if it's anything lower than -1000 frees

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 4) - Re-Signed to 2027...

    The difference this year will be finals starting from 10th position, compared to 8th position I don't think a coach that 'makes finals' by losing a 7th versus 10th matchup should be safe from a sacking

    Terrible is probably too far, but many underwhelming coaches have had outlier years Hinkley's 18 win season Brad Scott's 16 win season at North Sanderson's 18 win season Ratten's 15 win season Leon Cameron's 17 win season Gary Ayres' 16 wins season at Adelaide Voss' 15 win season Chris...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14: Voss gone, who's next?

    Of course backing him in was a fluke. Is there any other example of doing so working? For every Hardwick that gets backed, there's a Voss or a Hinkley or a Dew or a Richardson or a Bolton that flops

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14: Voss gone, who's next?

    Exactly. Hardwick took a team that won 5 games before he got there and had them playing finals with 15 H&A wins after just four seasons. Nicks took a team that won 10 games and had them winning 11 games four seasons later with no finals until his 6th season

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14: Voss gone, who's next?

    I'm saying the fluke is that backing him in actually worked. For most other clubs who have ever done it for a poorly performing coach after a few seasons, it hasn't worked We have got to stop using Hardwick as an excuse to keep backing in bad coaches. The same thing most likely won't happen. It...
