I posted this on the good bad and ugly thread, but IMO its worth discussion in its own right.It's self-explanatory IMO.
My good bad and ugly is more about how I feel about the Adelaide Football club.
Absolutely pissed off as I have been for some time now.
This coaching panel is the dumbest...
Word is that Nigel Smart will be appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Crows.
This will cause a rationalisation of the duties of both the COO and the CEO position to ensure that the duties and responsibilities of both positions are complimentary and not clashing.
Personally, I think...
Announced at 10 01 am this morning.
No details as yet.
Significantly positive for Port IMO.
Surely Crows will push for a similar deal!!
PS. Just been told that it's Rucci's version of an April Fools joke!! :o
5aa have received an email from a family who said that they are sending their memberships back to the club after experiencing or observing (we don't know which) disgraceful behaviour by an Adelaide player on the week-end.
Phil Harper was on a little later and said that he knew nothing about...
So said Channel 7 sports tonight.
Apparently, unlike Craig, Sando really wants a Crows reserve team in the SANFL, so that all the players not in the A team will play in the same team. And he's prepared to push it.
The SANFL aren't discounting anything, saying that they are always open to...
This poll is specifically about who you think Adelaide will appoint as their next coach - NOT about who you would like to see as the coach next year.
I had a look at Sportsbet and I've put the current odds against the 6 most favoured possibilities. After that the odds are 20 to 1 or greater...
IMO it is a given that Craig will be replaced as AFC coach at the end of the year. Too many strikes against him, and the AFC brand severely damaged in the process.
IMO it's time to voice our opinions in this matter to have whatever influence we can have, however small, on those decision...

For those that may have mised it or live outside Adelaide. Cheers.
Please don't get me wrong. Knights is one of my very favourite players at the club. He's my genuine love child!!
BUT
We do need an A grade quality mid-fielder given the player retirements and the lack of drafting in this area in recent drafts.
Bock's departure has opened the door...
I hope they are wrong.
The players have already had a warm-up run on the ground and there was no Thompson, no Stevens.
But McKernan and Armstrong were there in the warm up.
Schmidt, the travelling emergency is there too.
5AA are saying they think the replacements will be Schmidt and...
Just heard on 5AA.
Hampson, Russell and Walker also out today as late changes.
Ins, I think, are Adam Bentick, Brad Fisher, Sam Jacobs.
No reasons given at this stage.
That makes 8 changes to their team from last week.
Not a good pre-match start by the Blues
Great article in the Age mainly re Dangerfield and goes on to talk about our other young players

I know we don't want to do it, but we have to. :)
It'll be interesting to see what 5 players posters can dig up for the points tonight.
Back with mine soon.
First thoughts after the game.
Our game plan looks rather sus or perhaps its our ability to execute it.
Time after time we had useless handballs NOT to advantage until we turned it over almost gifting them a goal.
For posters like Porps_is_Hot_Loz you got your wish with lots of young...
John Reid was excellent. It was a question and answer type interview with a bit of side chat to the topics at time. In all, it lasted around a half hour and on behalf of all interested BigFooty-ites I thank John and the club for giving us both the time and the answers.

Otten included in 28-man squad

Adelaide has named 2007 draftee Andy Otten among four possible inclusions for Sunday’s NAB Cup clash with Fremantle at AAMI Stadium...
This is going to be a bit of a dilemma for Craig and crew after our performance in Dubai.
It was very nearly a case of all played well with only Campbell (a bit slow and too many clangers) and Jacky (a bit over-awed originally but did improve as the game went on) IMO looking to improve on...

Rucci carries on continuously like a Port chop when he makes his snide shots at the no-shows at Adelaide games - even when there are 43,000 plus supporters at the game. :rolleyes:

Just heard it on 5AA. KG hinted at it, Cornesy followed it up, Rucci admitted it.
The Adelaide Football Club have taken offence at Rucci's reporting and requested his remval from reporting on the Crows.
