Opinion Fix the Rules and get rid of the whistle!
I'm kind of against the Arc stuff anyway. You've got like 5000 people lining the boundary line anyway, just deputise a few of them before the game, give them a walkie talkie or something. -

Analysis 2026 umpiring in games involving 1 Victorian team vs. 1 Non Victorian team
North Melbourne doing gods work there, just keeping behind Sydney so it's not true that literally every interstate team is worse off than the Vics. (Although it is still very on brand - I'm not sure that Sydney count as a non-Vic team for these purposes as they are absolutely one of the AFL's... -
Analysis 2026 umpiring in games involving 1 Victorian team vs. 1 Non Victorian team
Well, Freo are not a Vic team, so makes sense. -
Player Watch Sam Berry
Well, we want AA level mids in the midfield. If he plays like that every week, then he's a brownlow medallist. New Berry can go past old Berry if he can find that kind of form and replace himself in the starting mids. If he goes back to a lower level (but still the much improved Berry of this... -
Universal Love Adelaide Crows Folklore
Looking at this thread, someone needs to flesh out the bullet points on the first post. I'm old, and I don't remember some of this stuff. -
Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2
We have a bare cupboard this week for KPDs -
Opinion Fix the Rules and get rid of the whistle!
Personally, I think we should lean in further to rules that are ambiguous and require interpretation of what the players intent was. Like, if you reckon they tried to mark it hard enough, then give them the ball. Similarly, if you try to concuss someone with a high hit, but don't - due to... -
Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2
So do you reckon we can get Cripps, Merrett and Neale next year? All of them old, but would be a step up anyway. I reckon we should do it. We should also get Roughead to personally flip the bird at our end of year exit meetings to every midfielder on our list under the age of 24 -
Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2
But the idea is to make the team overall better, not trade out best 22 players for other best 22 players. There are a few guys at the fringes that this would push out of the regular team so you'd expect them to be asking for trades. -
Preview R9: Changes vs. Richmond
Brett Voss was an ok player. I think Turray being a solid B grade "ok player" would be quite an achievement. If he's better than that, then wowee, we can all hi-5 each other. -
Preview R9: Changes vs. Richmond
Sort of leaves us with Berry needing to keep stepping up and forcing the ball back into our hands. Which, when you tackle like you're 3 separate players, he can do well. Can he be at that level all the time though? Would be a huge turnaround if he does. -
Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide
Well, probably not, given the fix was in and we still somehow won -
Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide
So they fly out here for a marquee game, that game is really close... and they leave before the siren. lolwut -
Go Ahead Match Winning Goals
I love the commentators in this. They're right, but I couldn't see any modern day commentator making those comments about the decisions so... vehemently and... repeatedly. -
Player Watch Sid Draper
Well if he's fit, and we can't mess with him anymore by making him the sub, then I guess we can still yo-yo him in and out of the team and play him at half forward for like, 50% of games? And get in his ear about how he's both not getting the ball enough and not close enough to some guy he... -

Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide
How much did the AFL want a port win tonight?!!? A huge amount, is the answer from the umpiring. But thats what a grand final win in Melbourne will be like, we have to rise above the soft frees, the too far calls, the denied goals. Did, it. Shove a dog up ya, powa -
Game Day Showdown LIV
Come on folks. This team has Reilly ****ing Thilthorpe, Rankine and Rachele in it. Anything is possible. -
Preview R8: Changes vs. Port Adelaide
He's like the only guy we have (that isn't ROB) over say 195 cm we didn't play last week, so we should get him in, because that will obviously fix everything -
List Mgmt. List Management Thread
Neale just smacked our team this week, so clearly he'd be our best mid. Will he crack on though, or is he in decline? Will he decline to the point where he's not that good? Probably not, I'd say he's worth it on a short deal. -
List Mgmt. List Management Thread
Remember when we had Roo, Macca, Edwards and Goodwin as our core of midfielders? And we still didn't win a premiership. -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"
In any employment in Australia, if he's underperforming then there should have been a paper trail of this and evidence the underperformance has been discussed. Then you get to a point where it hasn't been rectified, you can sack them. So if you have followed a reasonable process then there is... -
Player Watch Max Michalanney - Re-Signed Until End of 2030
What even is his role though? Mid size lock down defender? We seem to have him checking someone closely each week. We're not using him for rebound out of defence. He's not a KPD. So do the coaches think being a negator is the limit of his talents? If he's better than that, then give him... -
Preview R8: Changes vs. Port Adelaide
Exactly as planned! -
Preview R8: Changes vs. Port Adelaide
Even last year, in our one good year, we sucked at crumbing off of packs. Our "go long to the wing" strategy should have also meant crumbing players at the front of the packs, where the ball spills the most... but invariably it was not us. Those 2-3 lucky games we hung on to (Port, Brisbane... -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"
Yeah, surely that's doable - I have pick #5, so I go wild bidding on other players to bump my pick down so I get a free first rounder. Won't be rorted at all. What is the point of this anyway? The whole reason acadamies/nga/FS exists in the first place is to give clubs access to these players... -
Review R7: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Brisbane Lions
Well, if you're wondering if he's an accurate kick, I can definitely tell you he's got a long kick -
Preview R8: Changes vs. Port Adelaide
Good thing we are really solid in those center clearances then! I reckon I'm on board with the "backup ruck on the bench is a waste of a bench spot". Turray or Rob in the team for 35% of the game is a dumb idea. Solve it some other way. -
Review R7: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Brisbane Lions
It was definitely a "let's try some stuff, cos we may as well" with the other talls in Q4. Did we learn anything from it? Don't think so. Finbar can't kick. Turray seems lost. Neither are good enough. Maybe they get better in future, but they aren't right now.
