Any chance we finally run Strachany and ROB together? I saw Bombers have two ruckmen in there in Goldstein and Draper. If ever there was a time for us to try those two together, this would be it. Will we rush in Sloaney too for the experience if we lose this week? I'll be here for the melts...

Silly poll to fill in the last bit of the offseason. My money's on Edwards. Even though our lack of tall timber means Curtin will have a good chance, I still think that his chance in the backline is say 6 weeks away, whereas I reckon Edwards will absolutely have starred in the mid by the end...

Spose we should have a thread for this... Soligo, Butts and Milera all in. WC already pretty depleted, not sure how helpful this is gonna be. No injuries, Rankine to keep doing well, Rach and Pedlar too. Would like to see Hingey do well, been muted so far. A bit more from Fog and Worrell...

A brand new thread to keep all our thoughts re this game in the one place. No injuries and a serviceable performance will do me. Don't even care if they outscore us. Both teams seem to be keeping things low key this offseason so I don't expect this match to be setup to reveal much (in terms...

Just wondering if there would be enough interest on the board to have 2 threads for gameday and GBU, split in terms of optimists and pessimists, a thread for each. The only reason I ask is I get tired of wading through millions of, in my view, absurdly negative comments particularly in these...

So to start to see how our young particularly midfield hopefuls are tracking I thought I'd put them in here against the careers of a heap of other players for comparison. I'll do a heap of other clubs midfielders first, then ports then ours. zac bailey dunkley jarrod berry lyons...

I dunno if this book has got much discussion about it on this forum. Ive heard it mentioned on the radio a couple of times and in the very good podcast below: https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bigideas/power-politics-and-the-afl-s-boys-club-/14054566 Its a good bit of investigative...

Since we've now had floating fixtures, we can use this to help sort out the Grandfinal issue for Non Vic clubs. Absent any pandemic, we should have the last qtr of the season, say 6 games, as a fixture where we know who's playing who, just not the venue. Why? At the 3/4 mark of the season...

So, prompted by people like Ciao Giacomo's comments regarding our experience, plus some of my own casual glances, which seem to indicate we are dammmmmmmmnnnnnn inexperienced at the moment, I thought I would investigate a bit further. I looked up our average age, games played and players under...

So, since we all seem so confident the club has no idea pls confirm it with your predicted path for us on the ladder over the next 5 years. You reckon the coaches and Hamish etc have no ability, pls confirm that by saying the results that we'll get while they're in charge will be terrible...

I'm such a positive person I couldn't bring myself to call it the negative only thread. God knows that would probably give too much license to some. Just riffing off elite's positive thread idea. Here's one example: You can see Thilthorpe's been so physically dominant in the juniors he's...

Meh, I've seen enough, there's some weaknesses we've displayed that we frequently display, plus a couple of other things we could've tried. One frequent weakness we have is when a side gets a hold of us, they get big long runs of goals without us getting one. As opposed to a couple, then us...

go at least we did try some experiments there at the end, Murray up forward, Filthy into the ruck. would love to know if we keep stats on % of aerial contests where the ball goes over the back and I would love to know how this game compared to normal, seemed really bad from us, especially...

Go Comments Still lots of good signs even though we lost, not like last year. I can tolerate that with an inexperienced team. A lot of it was gameplan, a lot of little things, goal kicking, sticking tackles, not giving away frees, being switched on basically. We did a lot of inefficient running...

It looks like now more than ever we need to protest at the AFC (and no doubt sometime in the future the AFL will massively dud us too). Giving up memberships is very honorable as its a lot to give up, but there's still a number of people who want them, so they'll just sell them anyway. What...

So, there are some on our board saying Brad isn't that good of a mid blah blah blah. Others think he's actually one of the better players in the comp. Some ppl have questions about his durability. Lets put it all down now and we'll see who makes the best call and therefore had the most...

Was just looking to see what the qualification rules are for Rising Star. 10 or less games and under 21 on Jan 1, 2021. Then I went looking to see if McAsey would qualify. 10 games. How convenient. Luck or good management? Perhaps this is why we didn't see him at the end of the year. Other...

Adelaide coaches: we exist to troll adelaide supporters! What I like about us is that every week we say we'll improve and every week we don't, we do the opposite! Maybe this week we should say we'll do dumb footy and we might play smarter. We kicked only 2 goals in the second half. We...

Hello, I couldn't get any interest in this over on the Adelaide board, so I thought I'd try in here. Attached is an image showing deficits and surpluses for the US. The green lines at the top mark recessions. Where the line is L shaped, the bottom of the L indicates how long multiyear...

Flicking thru posts I have seen mostly posts in support of keeping things as they are. I find that staggering. If it were me I'd make plenty of adjustments to the current system. I'm impressed by Sydney's Andrew Ireland and disappointed in the rhetoric coming from the club currently...

Since we all think that the scully and scrimshaw deals are BS, lets have a thread to keep track of how well they go and whether it turns out to be unders or not.

Here's a list of the average post finals ladder positions for the last 3 seasons. Where do you think Adelaide will be over the next 3, who do you think will rise up, who will drop down? Geelong, GWS, Syd, WC = 4.67 Richmond 5.67 Adel 6.67 Hawthorn 7.33 Melb WB = 8.00 Coll Port = 9.00 NM 10.67...

There's so many diverse predictions about the club around the place at the moment and no one is ever around to do the prediction threads in the offseason, so I thought with the season nearly over and us all having a good indication where we'll finish the season this year and the draft currency...

I've heard a few good ones mentioned in here across the year. I think BF Adelaide potentially could outdo AFL HQ if we tried. That suggestion yesterday to remove the hits the post is a point rule and change it to if it goes through, its a goal, if it doesn't it isn't is a cracker of a...
