    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    It's getting worse as more stuff gets made for streaming. At least with cinemas there are some constraints around length (the longer the movie the fewer sessions they can run per day, and cinemas don't like that). Streaming there are no such constraints, people don't even have to watch the...

    List Mgmt. 2024 List Mismanagement and Trading

    If we're going after Petty I'd rather wait another year and have a go at him as a FA. We're likely to miss finals again and need to spend our first on a midfielder. And I suppose there's the off chance that Melbourne might fall off the perch next year and would be happy with the compensation...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    I don't know if Godzilla Minus One would be considered auteur independent cinema. And comparing Grant Torino and Fast and Furious because they both have cars isn't really the same as comparing Godzilla Minus One and the Monsterverse because they both have Godzilla. It's actually the same...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    You absolutely can compare them. The MonsterVerse movies have made a conscious decision to make themselves as offensively dumb as possible. There's no reason for it other than aiming for the lowest common denominator audience ie make something simple enough, loud enough and flashy enough that...

    Player Watch Ben Keays - Signs on til 2027

    Don't mind this at all. Classic example of a guy who isn't going to win a Brownlow etc, but works his butt off to extract the absolute maximum from his abilities. In an ideal world he'll get pushed out by some of our younger developing players, but even then he would be more than handy depth.

    Player Watch Mark Keane - Welcome to Adelaide

    I love that he had the composure to actually go for the mark despite being 3rd in line in the contest. I guess the percentage thing to do in that situation would be to spoil, but that risks creating a loose ball for the opposition to pounce on. Obviously it wouldn't have been in issue since...

    Player Watch Darcy Fogarty

    I'm not going to be too critical of Fog's slow start to the year given that our ball movement was so utterly sh*t prior to the Carlton game that none of our forwards had much of a chance. One thing I will say, though, is that his kicking has been way off what we have come to expect from...

    Player Watch Billy Dowling - Re-Signed to End of 2026

    Surely Crouch getting a week creates the opportunity for Dowling now?

    Review Good vs Carlton

    I wouldn't look at North in a couple of weeks as being easy. We have a pretty shocking record down there in Tasmania, I think?

    Review Good vs Carlton

    Of course that was the first game this year that I haven't been able to watch. F***** I hate this team 😛

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    His catalogue is definitely a mixed bag. When you make as many movies over as many years in as many genres as he has then I guess you're going to have a few misses along the way. I rate his Black Hawk Down as one of the all time great war movies. Right up there with the likes of Saving...

    Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

    The question is do we trade a top 6 pick for Phillipou or trust Hamish to take it to the draft and not **** it up?

    Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

    We could raise that today just by passing the hat around this board if it would actually lead to his sacking.

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    Agree completely... I dropped off this series after Godzilla vs Kong, so this new one will be the first I haven't seen in the cinema. I love a giant monster movie, but these ones have just got dumber and dumber and dumber with each new instalment. I really rate the 2014 Godzilla that Gareth...

    What do we want in this rebuilding (third) year?

    I guess if you can't have sackings then contract extensions are the next best thing, right? :P

    When do we ask the AFL for our priority pick??

    I'm fine with that. As long as West Coast don't get one. They just won a flag 5 years ago FFS. They've got no business getting a priority pick when equally inept clubs such as ours haven't even made finals for 6 (soon to be 7) years.

    When do we ask the AFL for our priority pick??

    End of 1st round compensation for a knackered Tom Doedee was basically our priority pick.

    Should the club tap Tex and Rory on the shoulder now? possible farewell game

    If Sloane were getting the taps on the shoulder he should have been getting for the past several years he'd have dents in his shoulders. Way past time to go, and it's sad to see one of the greats of our club clinging on like this. Tex I think still has something to offer. I'm not going to...

    Strategy The season is lost, what should we do with the remaining 19 games?

    My only problem with the idea of pumping games into the young players to fast-track their development is that it ignores the fact that we don't seem able to develop players, regardless of how many games we do or don't put into them. How many of the players we've drafted since 2017 have actually...

    Opinion Recruiting and List Management Team: Hamish Ogilvie, Justin Reid & Co

    Could have been worse. We only picked Jones after North matched our bid on Tarryn Thomas.

    Review Good, bad, the gallant shat loss - R4 vs Melbourne 2024

    That was the best footy we've played so far this year. What a depressing thought.

    Player Watch Jake Soligo - Re-Signed to End of 2029

    All those runs up and down the boundary line in round 1 are really paying dividends.

    Prediction Could we go 0-10 ??

    But the 2-year extension was ridiculous and premature, and those who OK'ed it should have to resign for total incompetence. Maybe we're angling to make sure our priority pick gets in ahead of West Coast's?

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    There should be no priority pick for just sucking. West Cost won a flag just over 5 years ago. There are only 4 other clubs that have won a flag more recently than West Coast - how is this anywhere near bad enough to justify any kind of assistance? Let's look at my club, the Crows, by...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    Yeah it was probably about 50% full, and it's a big theatre, lots of seats, so that's a fair few people. I had actually planned on going a few weeks earlier but it was so packed those first few weeks that there were no good seats available (I hate sitting down the front too close to the...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    Dune 2 Very impressive, especially in the big Eximax (formerly IMAX) cinema with the giant screen and sound so loud the vibrations shook the fillings out of my teeth. The kind of movie that thankfully keeps cinemas alive by getting people in there in significant numbers - you won't get that...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 2) - Re-Signed to End of 2026 🤮

    Yep, the fact that we're losing bothers me less than HOW we're losing. Even when we lost games last year we at least looked like we were playing some good footy. Got pipped in a lot of close games, but the teams that beat us knew they'd had to earn it. What we're serving up this year looks...

    Strategy Rebuild Part II

    They sure do, so we might as well have traded him to a side that's contending. Would have benefited all parties.

    Strategy Rebuild Part II

    Himmelberg will go. He wanted out last year and the only reason we didn't do the trade was our failure to bring in Chol as a replacement. He'll walk to GWS as a FA. We might as well have done the trade last year. If he's not breaking into this rolling sh*tshow of a side right now then what's...
