Since 2000 Adelaide has selected in the top 10 of the AFL Draft on just 4 occasions and never in the top 5 and haven't made a Grand Final since 2004 when these Draftees would probably make a decent impact. Below is a ladder of teams' draft picks since 2000 with pick 1 receiving 10 pts, pick 2 9...
Hey guys, been a while since I've been very active on this forum due to life taking over and not really leaving too much time for footy. I don't get to see too many games these days since I live in WA, but I went yesterday hoping for a decent game and instead had to sit through one of the worst...
Because watching this game and last weeks for that matter takes me back to the Gary Ayres era when we never played through the corridor and were always forced to play down the wings. If we can't take the corridor against teams like Essendon and Richmond then we're no hope against any of the...
IMO is being used way too much lately by commentators.
I would say that the only player worthy of the Superstar tag is Chris Judd.
Some examples of who I think are superstars from other sports.
European Football - Christiano Ronaldo
NFL - Peyton Manning
MLB - Alex Rodriguez
Cricket...
In our next four games we have,
Fremantle @ AAMI
Carlton @ MCG
Nth Melb. @ AAMI
Melbourne @ AAMI
All very winnable games, which would take us to 6-2. We then have,
West Coast @ Subiaco
Essendon @ AAMI
Richmond @ MCG
So after Round 11 we could at best, but doubtful be 9-2...
Hey guys,
Opening day isn't far away, what are everyone's predictions for this season?
Here's mine
American League
East - Boston Red Sox
Central - Detroit Tigers
West - Seattle Mariners
Wild Card - Cleveland Indians
National League
East - New York Mets
Central - Milwaukee...
...IMO is better at United games at Hindmarsh than Crows games at AAMI.
I've been to the first few AU games this season and the atmosphere is hands down better at the soccer. The flares are a bit mindless but it's an all round more enjoyable experience.
Easier to get to, the crowd is...
I really like him but his run up is shocking, surely someone at the club has to work with him on it. He has no confidence at all which shows with his stats when having set shots for goals.
Missed some very gettable goals today, Craigy has to do something about it.
A teacher starts her first day at a new school in the middle of Port Adelaide, in the hope of being popular with her new class she tells them that she barracks for Port Adelaide in the AFL and asks the children to raise their hands if they also support the Power. Everyone in the class raises...
In some other sports they have bonus points when a team wins by a big margin.
What do people think of a bonus point being introduced into the AFL, if a team wins by 50+ points then they recieve 4 points for the win plus an extra point for the margin of the win.
I think that it would be a...
Of course Port are our biggest rivals but in the last few years I think that we are starting to develop a great rivalry with the Eagles, it usually happens when teams play a few important games against each other. We've had a few of them lately...
2003 Elimination Final - Adelaide Win
Rd 22...
Here's a bit of an appreciation thread.
After watching the game tonight and how he's played through the pre-season I can't help but be impressed by Matthew Clarke.
Before Huddo's injury at the end of last season there wasn't any doubt that his career was all but over. But especially over...
How about this heat wave? It would have to be one of the worst hot spells we've had in Adelaide for the last few years. That or I have a short memory.
My Cricket game got called off today so it'll be a lonely day indoors under the A/C. Tomorrow me and the missus will be heading out to the beach.
Played cricket today, I play for Central District CC. I play with a few Centrals junior football players and our president is the coach of the under 19's.
Apparently Shannon is very happy to be going to such a great team like West Coast. Apparently he is most happy about the fact that he...
I know that there's a different thread on FI but this topic is a little different.
I would like them to show the murder of Richard Kelvin, He was allegedly horrificly tortured for a month before he was killed by Bevon Spencer Von Einem in the early eighties. It is one of SA's most notorious...
With the SANFL Grand Final coming up in two weeks, the big game seems to have lost a bit of its appeal.
Does anyone else think that the SANFL should start playing the Grand Finals on a Saturday night in a 7.00pm timeslot?
To be honest I am depressed, I'm not angry just really, really down. I know that in a week or two I'll be able to see the positives of our year but it will always go into the list of the ones that got away. Whether we expected to do this well or not doesn't matter, we had a prime opportunity to...
Me and a mate played out the 'Ultimate Showdown' on AFL 2004 (the old one) on PS2. Here is how the game unfolded. I being the crows supporter was Adelaide.
1st Quarter
Adelaide 4.1.25
Port Adelaide 2.2.14
A tough even quarter with the Crows managing to get out on top with two late goals...
Which rivalry is the biggest?
IMBO it is Adelaide v Port Adelaide. But the the history and tradition cannot be discounted when talking about some of the Victorian rivalries.
This is the type of situation that reveals the type of character a team has. The character of some of our Bigfooty supporters has been revealed, scared of what will happen if we lose instead of relishing the prospect of us winning.
Instead of worrying about the negatives of the game next...
Hey guys, I don't have MS Excel so I cant see the AFL websites finals pricing guide.
Can someone please tell me how much it is for Premium Terrace tickets?
I think it is about $60
I would have posted this on the St Kilda board but it's like a ghost town.
Full Credit to the Saints, they deserved their win tonight. I'm disappointed that we lost but still proud with the way we fought back in the fourth quarter. I think that if McLeod's shot on the run went through we may...
I would usually say unlucky or good game but luck had nothing to do with it and from your POV it wasn't a good game.
If I was a Collingwood supporter I would be absolutley disgusted and ashamed of how Collingwood played today. They really let the supporters down.
The lack of effort put in...
I only become a silver member this season.
Assuming that we finish in the top 2 and get a home qualifying final,
When do tickets go on sale?
Are they staggered? (Gold first, Silver second, Bronze third etc. etc.)
Do we have to line up for them?
Any info would be much appreciated...
Who do you think NC will choose to take the all important taps for the rest of the year?
Given Clarke's experience you'd think he would be a shoe in but NC may pull a surprise and go for the unproven youngster.
It's a tough call but what I liked so much about Huddo was his work away from...
Hey guys,
I've been in Melbourne since Saturday night and it's just astounds me at how little credit the Crows get over here. Unfortunatly I didn't get to see the game against the Dee's but in respects to that game all the talk is about how well Melbourne played considering how many players...
