    Roast Sooo... about that review

    Those 2 examples of Richmond and Geelong had 1 thing in common, Neil Balme arriving. Similar to Collingwood when he arrived in 2000 and they played in GF in 2002 and 2003. Whatever he brings to the table clubs should be looking for because the changes are significant and instant. Sorting out...

    Good effort, camp, burton, hass hamstrings, Bailey tanking, GC priority picks, Keays goal and theres a sleuth of others. Burgess, Dawson, Rankine, Oliver, Michaelanny would say tide is turning

    Player Watch Mitch Hinge - Re-signed until 2026

    Harris Andrews is the outliner. Teams that focus more on rebound are happy to go a bit shorter so looks like a trade off is worth it unless you got a Darcy Moore type that is gold.

    Player Watch Mitch Hinge - Re-signed until 2026

    Left footers like Dawson and Hinge allow the field to be opened up and quick transition when they get it right.

    Player Watch Mitch Hinge - Re-signed until 2026

    We dont have a lot of talls on the list but Worrell, Butts Murray all at 195cm and Keane 194cm compare favourably to most other sides. If Murray is gone then absolutely we need a KPD imo. Worrell I have no issue with, he's a gun. I dont think Butts is a KPD personally, certainly more an...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

    Media are often puppets for faceless men so it only takes one or two powerbrokers to ignite the fire. Look at Sheedy last year. Dew this year was from inside first. Kennett with Clarkson. Tex and Dawson performances have masked a lot of errors and taken the heat off Nicks over the past 2...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

    Just because you go to the draft doesn't mean young players will get to certain levels of games if selection policy isn't that way inclined and one must allow for injuries etc. Milera, Doedee, McPherson, Taylor, Rankine, Hamill to name a few. Worrell and Doedee are classic cases of guys...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

    Funny how the default is comparing to NM. Why not compared our 20-22 y.o to WB 2016 side? Youth is not NM issue its being a basket case club. When we got pumped the most it was with Sloane, Laird , MCrouch and little to do with youth. If you keep playing to many older players who arent going...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

    Think about why? How many games have been given to players leaving, retiring or simply not up to it vs the kids over the past 4 years? Likes of TT, Berry could easily be over 50 games and someone like Worrell should be well above 12. Keep making excuses for a guy that sways with the wind instead...

    The level of incompetence is embarrassing but not as bad as how long its taken a lot of people to wake up and some still haven't.

    Extraordinary amount of players over 30 and logic says your right except they have been able to avoid it and i suspect they will continue. Talk out of WA a few weeks ago was Darcy will be there next year and after Jacksons performance on the weekend it may be in the best interests of Freo.

    Prediction Will we make finals in 2023? AFL responds with "...not on my watch"

    Quite possible 12 wins and good % gets it done. Ess, GC, Syd, are 8 point games and a win over ESS would be significant in the context of the season and finals.

    I still dont think Butts is the answer but serviceable coverage for when KPD is out. Himmelberg would be my 1st choice but hope we are looking at Cox either this year or next. More of a need than Redman imo even if Doedee leaves. Cox, Murray, Worrell, Michalanny become a very good 1v1 defensive...

    Bit unfair to use Petracca as a comparison when he did an acl. When comparing to the likes of LDU, Parish, McGrath, Rayner, Cerra, Rozee, Butters miles ahead of most of those. On par with the likes of McCluggage, Taranto, Neale, Walsh. Only guys like Oliver and Nick Daicos ahead You would be...

    Ifs, maybes, coulda, shoulda. If it wasnt for subbing Soligo and Dawson to defence. How about Brown as the sub and Himmelberg over TT. The fact Clarkson took over a team a lot poorer and lower than the one Nicks took over and is already 25% ahead in the W/L ratio of Nicks in the 1st year.

    Roast How diabolical is our midfield?

    The 3 examples with context. Henry was an Academy pick and went early as SOS went rogue so where he went was partly irrevelant. Pickett was a SOS pick and being an expansion club was full of high picks. Collingwood took DeGoey the next pick say no more. GC had 4 picks and was a disaster draft...
