Adelaide can't move the ball forward and have no reliable avenue to goal. 2025 was the year where our defence would bomb it to Curtin/Dawson/Thriller playing 1 out on the wing and they would win 3/4 contests and out we'd go. This year that isn't happening and we look stagnant and slow.

My Port friends tell me that, sure, their forwards are below average and their defenders may be awful... but thankfully their midfield is great... Filled with walk-in AA superstars. True legends of the game.
