    Preview R7: Changes vs. Brisbane Lions

    Maybe we are a better 'finishing school'. Maybe it's more likely astute recruiting to get guys at the right age profile and provide better opportunity that improvement towards their peak was a likely result anyway (applies to all in your list bar ANB, Cumming). Of all those, Murray has been...

    Preview R7: Changes vs. Brisbane Lions

    Ryan plays like a bloke who has been over-coached and crushed. Nankervis the same. Hopefully they don't do it to Draper. My guess is it's coaches so keen to earn their keep they overdo the feedback, particularly 'constructive' and on team defence/structure, which is well intentioned but every...

    List Mgmt. List Management Thread

    Does the club need to employ an 'expert outsider' who follows the club very closely but from outside the four walls. There just seems to be such a conservative group think from the football department. Needs to be some blunt truths, or at least questions, coming from the outside. Now, there...

    Almost the opposite to Dawson who is a supreme kicker when in space but an average footballer in the packs.

    List Mgmt. Who makes it out of this group?

    While I agree they've been a little underwhelming, what's the expectation? Stats wise are we looking at 12-14 touches, 2-3 tackles, 1-1.5 goals a game as an average? Would've been a tough forward line to play in since mid-year last year.

    Talk of Mitch McGovern keen for another contract which hasn't yet arrived. 31yo atm. We are in the premiership window. Tex will need even more rests even if he plays on next year. Fog will almost certainly never reach the heights of Tex and is too unfit to change role. Marsh, Ludowyke, Welsh...

    Review R6: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. St Kilda

    Not sure about the coach's vote but absolutely agree it was his best game in a long time. Only once noticed a useless receive position for a crab kick but other than that was clean, composed, hit smart targets, contested hard, didn't get in the road looking for cheap receives, and did his job...

    Preview R7: Changes vs. Brisbane Lions

    In recent times we have had underwhelming output from our wings, likely in large part due to game plan/structure. Cook may enhance its value due to elite ball use, rather than total output. He played the role like a traditional wing, just in a near perfect fashion. Do we have scope on the...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"

    I'd take a statement of 'how much are they paying you' to be a dig at his competence. As in you get paid to be a professional AFL umpire and you've just made that amateur decision! I'm no Butters fan but this is pathetic by the ump.

    Welcome Welcome to Adelaide - Finnbar Maley

    He's perfect for our forward line balance right now given Thilthorpe is banged up. Why we bomb on Thilthorpe's head so he can get crunched time and around is beyond me...that's what Maley should be there for. If Fog comes back, it should only be to give Tex or Thilthorpe a rest.

    Preview R6: Changes vs. St Kilda

    Get Soligo back into the SANFL midfield, he'll be like a new recruit in the back half of the season. Dowling the perfect replacement, will find more of the footy as a high forward, can kick goals, and if we need him to go on ball/wing he can do that too. Edwards for Hinge, can shuffle with Nank...

    Preview R6: Changes vs. St Kilda

    Don't think he is good enough by foot for the backline. He's a natural born extractor who will get the ball from inside to outside with agility and burst speed, or releasing others by hand. I'd love the midfield balance of a top end inside ground ball hunter (Draper, with support acts in...

    Review R5: The GB&U vs Carlton: ARC de Triomphe

    Pretty sure the SANFL only count a kick as last disposal if it was a proper kick (including a deliberate or obvious kick off the ground). It doesn't include unintentional incidental contact. The SANFL interpretation is reasonably easy and where there is any doubt, I usually see them default to a...
