It has been clear for weeks: Douglas has not been able to run and down on form Hendo has been poor L Thompson is ALWAYS behind his man Danger is NOT fit Wright is not having an impact But they ALL start. Players consistently tearing it up in the 2's. Not one could come in?

Following the Kangas win tonight, our work is still ahead if we want sneak into the 8. We SHOULD beat GWS, WC at home, Lions, Tigers and Saints at home. That gives us 12 wins. So we then need to pinch a win against Hawks at home, Pies at the G, or Kangas in Tas. Just now, Hawks at home looks...

Forget finals, so what do we do? Selection: Out Porps VB Callinan McKay Vince In: Anybody

At the recent Festival of Balloons as part of the Canberra Centenary, Vader was seen looming over the National Capital:

After a magic ride through the season, our depth is getting a bit of a test. Tragic for Tahlia last week. Shaw should probably have not played - didn't we see him grab his hammy in the last few minutes last week? Even though Pets was having a shocker tonight, it is diappointing to see his...

Listening to Roo on SEN - Goddard to Freo - Cloke likely to Carlton with Mick - Fev has a personal trainer funded by Eddie, with a view to replace Cloke and the spluttering Dawes.

According to the Crows website, there are 3 injured players: Crouch - not eligible anyway Young - still on rookie list Riley - a way off selection atm Add DMack omiited with a slight hammy this week. This would normally be seen as a dream position for any club. All first 22 players...

Excellent games from Tahlia and Smack. Both played close to their man, won some good contests and remained pretty controlled under pressure. IMO, this was Smack's best 4Q game.

Looking back at the process the Club has indicated it will use in selecting the new coach: Stage 1 "a strong focus on personal, managerial and leadership qualities" Stage 2 "interviews will seek further information regarding football philosophies, coupled with presentations on game style and...

Just checked the Sports channels for the week: Collingwood / Essendon 4 or 5 replays Saints / Freo at least 3 replays Geelong / Melbourne - 3 replays etc, etc BUT NO REPLAY OF THE SHOWDOWN:mad:

Nick R offered 1 week for hit on Symes. Would have been 3 but for the "discounts"

Absolutely true to his word, Neil Craig has stepped down as coach of the AFC, and will take an unspecified period of leave from his position on staff. I will remeber Craigy for his fierce, competitive, passionate approach to coaching. He instilled a competitveness in the team that won...

Over the last few weeks, despite the terrible losses, we have done pretty well in containing the big forwards on the opposition. (:thumbsu: Truck). However, the small/medium forwards have burnt us (Gia, Walker, Le Cras) Stiffy is trying to help cover gaps all over the place, and to provide...

We seriously lack those top-end players who have: natural awareness (again I mention the smothers) really clean hands in a pack damaging kick to advantage real grunt in the tackles pace to break away great vision poise and balance under pressure Some of the players we have available to play...

Watching Fox League Teams. Tony Shaw pulled out the blackboard to show how Adelaide should have set up at centre bounces. He advocated a triangle of players that can react to the movements of the opposition midfield. Ruckman to try to tap sideways or back to our mids advantage. Cover to...

Carl's true identity revealed as he writes a transcript for the Advertiser! http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/split-sa-nearing-surrender-to-footys-big-brother/story-fn83zgrc-1226069587678 Not as funny as his usual efforts...

Something that has bugged me for some time about some our players... When they are approaching a contested ball situation their first instinct is to go to ground. Some of the prime examples of this are Douglas, Danger (unfortunately), Doughty, Reilly. Today add in Luke Thompson, VB, even...

Amongst the gloom, I was looking for any idea that might help. We desperately needed a shut-down player on the weekend, and the ones we tried did not cut it. Would it be worth giving Schmidt a go in this role? My reasons: he has some manoeuvrability to go with a player and reasonable pace...

In an intersting article on AFC, Peter Ryan has called the criticism of "no plan B" as lazy. http://www.afc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4417/newsid/112830/default.aspx "SOME football phrases would be hilarious if their flow-on effect wasn’t potentially real. One such humbug notion is...

Mods - I hope this is not against posting rules... Andrew D has always maintained that live TV against the gate in Adelaide does not affect attendance, in fact may even promote the game so more people go! Now, in the new TV deal, there is the possibility that the AFL will pay compensation to...

Hope the boys really give it a RHG (thanks Greg Champion) and beat the Pies. How good would it be to put the Westpac Community Cup into the trophy cabinet!!

I really rate this young man as a future star for AFC, but I have a couple of concerns about his technique at the moment: 1. His attack on the contested ball is fearless, but his first instinct at times is to dive on the ball, then try to stand up and shrug off the tackles. I'd like to see him...

Can we take Freo's spot in the 8? Watching Freo/Bulldogs, and Freo are 50 points down half way through second quarter. This could be a percentage hammering loss for them. Given they have lost Barlow, their midfield suddenly doesn't look so dominant. Rhys Palmer has just hurt a shoulder...

Just saw some footage of Crows training at Subi today - very wet! Interested about thoughts on effect on the game. I think that it may suit some of our midfield - especially Thompson, Danger, Reilly, Porps (if plays there) and even Sloan. But not so good for tall forwards like Tipp, Walker...

Reading all the posts about the possible futures of players such as Schmack, Craig, Sellar - made me think there may be an alternative to either trading these young potential KPPs or leaving them to rot in the SANFL. Coupled with Tipp's drop in form at FF and question marks over our second...
