If we lose to Carlton this week we may as well just pack it in and tank the rest of the year. If they haven't sacked Voss by now, they're not going to do it after a loss to us at AO.
This season definitely doesn't feel like our season so far

The injuries have been a killer obviously
 
Where the **** has this notion come from that Nank is some talentless no-hoper come from? Would I have preferred someone else? Yes. But let's not act like he's some 26 year old spud who's proven he doesn't have it.View attachment 2576837
hang on what about some objectivity, transparency and balance. you didnt mention that one stand out game was against the feeble tigers who finished bottom with 2 wins for the year.

and its double his average for his games from 2025 onwards.

i hope nank succeeds but many on here seem to significantly overrate the lad. he is coming in against a bottom 4 team tonight and hope he does well - theres no excuse not to
 
I'm expecting us to win big tonight. Nothing less than a 50-point drubbing on a sodden Adelaide Oval will satiate my appetite after three incredibly frustrating close losses in a row.
Like Obama once said about Nicks(I think ;) )

Never underestimate Nicks ability to F**** things up.

This is the transparency and balance. We have plenty of players that have never out out stats like that EVER against ANYONE. Again. I'm not saying he's some world beater. I'm just saying he's not deserving of the reaction some are giving him. I think it helps with team balance too. I'd guess we've selected the guys we have so that ANB plays more forward, which gives more CBA opportunities for Ranks, Rash, Peatling, Soligo, etc.

Yes, but we bought Laird back in - that does not help our ball movement.
In a way, it does. He puts us under pressure by holding ball for an eternity and being absolutely blind to the man 1.5 metres in front of him, the result is the opposition player smothers it, the ball spills loose and we have to play fast football.
 
Well my wife just got given two tickets for tonight by her work, so we’ll be able to watch the team that can’t win a first half play the team that can’t win a second half. Expecting a draw, but glad to be going👍

Mostly good changes.

Jones and Rob in the bin forever.

I’m a bit meh about Nank but I think its because he has been in and out of the team the past few years not really making impact but also not being backed by the coaches. Let’s give him a month and find out what we have.

I just hope Hinge is up for four quarters of AFL footy, started like a house on fire in the SANFL last week but faded out of the game after that.
What game time did he get? Were they deliberately giving him first half action and quieter in the second?

Seemed to be out there most of the time on the SANFL coverage as much as I could see.

Probably not an ideal preparation but obviously they're looking for more drive out of the back half which he generally offers.
 
Brisbane were 2-5 in 2024 and won the flag. Just need to get rolling at the right time of year.
We are no Brisbane and our list was never as good as theirs. im sorry but we are not contenders this year. wildcard round at best.. maybe sneak into the Elim final
