I thought it was about them letting Lever go.This thread is about appointing a decent captain right?
Dude. Chill. The OP's creating a discussion. There's many examples of teams losing Grand Finals and never getting another chance. Theres also many examples of teams losing Grand Finals and making amends for it soon after. So the question is, which category do you THINK Adelaide will slot into, and why? This sort of discussion and prediction is exactly what bigfooty exists for.Yeah except Hawthorn blew it right before a 3 peat. So really until you know, you dont know.
All signs point to Adelaide being up top somewhere again. We wont know different until we are shown different

On the point you raise, and the good one at that, I think they’re good enough to slot into the ‘can win a flag’ category. Good list, good depth, good midfield, forward line and defence, and definitely got the attacking flair to be able to savage sides whilst also defending strongly.Dude. Chill.

There’s nothing on the first page that really relates to thisUgh there are a million threads
Since the introduction of the final eight no one has lost a grand final by five goals or more and made it to the grand final the following year.We've seen in the past teams lose in grand finals and never get back there with that list. Fremantle and St Kilda being recent examples.
They're behind Sydney, Geelong, GWS & Richmond for mine.I think the Crows will be right in the hunt this year, but I can't help but wonder if that was their best chance last season.
Gibbs, Sloane, Betts, Jacobs and Jenkins are all 28 or older. Walker is almost 28. Obviously they're not all going to turn to s**t the moment they turn 30, but you'd have to imagine their best footy has already been played or they're close to beginning their declines. A player like Gibbs may last well into his 30s but in a different role.
Thoughts?
ANY team that has been in a grand final and loses blows a golden chance. Hard as s**t to get into.
St Kilda made back to back grand finals, so it's not as if the first one scarred them too badly.
And we've seen Hawthorn lose a grand final and then go on to three-peat, Geelong lose a grand final and then go onto win two of the next three, Sydney get smashed in a grand final yet go on to at least get back there two seasons later (notwithstanding the fact they lost - they were still able to rebound to get there). North lost a grand final they really shouldn't have lost in 1998 and won the premiership the following year.
Fremantle 2013? Shocking kicking for goal had them at 1.6 at halftime and they only lost by 15 points.Hard to say they blew it when they were beaten comprehensively. The only recent team I can think of that blew it was St Kilda in 09, they had us beaten early in fourth and just couldn't take their chances up forward.

It's actually the only GF that Champion Data have said was won by the poorer side on the day (source). It felt like a comfortable Hawks victory because Fremantle botched it so badly in Q1, but the Dockers would have won if they'd kicked for goal with anything like average accuracy.Yeah I did think about them but I don't know you can conclude they should have won against that Hawks side. They should have led the game at some point though.
