Like an old gunners song, we find ourselves asking "where do we go now?". We saw on the weekend for the first time our future forward structure. Fog and Filthy at CHF and FF and it was nowhere near as distressing as some had us believe it would be. It's really the first time either of them...

Neddles made me think of this. Ned McHenry: Jack Russell. Full of oversized intentions yet undersized. Prone to silly acts but can't doubt the effort. Tex: German shepherd. Skilled and smart but still likes a bit of attention. Loyal. Fogarty: Rottweiler. Skilled and smart but doesn't care...

By my calculations our Round 1 2021 team will field just 2 first round draft picks from the last 10 years. Doedee and McHenry. Now, not all of that is Hamish's fault. Rendell picked Brad Crouch in 2011 (mini draft but we'll call him first round). Also a couple of years of draft sanctions in...

So, we all saw last year. Our midfield was gash. You don't really finish bottom unless your midfield is the worst in the league. A semi-decent midfield can hide a lot of sins ahead of and behind the ball. And our first outing this preseason against an oppo that wasn't us revealed the same...

March 27th 2014. The day the Adelaide Football Club sold its soul to the AFL. The AFL offered to secure our $11 million debt. In return they asked to be given control of our board. They would vet and appoint 7 of our 9 board directors until October 2028. Over 8 years from now...

Well we all know a decade of incompetent management and unaccountability under Chapman has gutted out the club and destroyed its culture. Compiling our bleak outlook is poor recruitment: a series of draft donuts, picking undersized midfielders year after year then finally using our best draft...

Heard Johnny Platten on the radio app today. Apart from uncomfortable childhood memories of the time we were kids and saw some bird giving him a gobby in the park and couldn't understand what or why, he also talked about an upcoming state of origin game for bushfire relief. I thought 'awesome...

Epic choke. Drop Talia. What a fool. Milera good.

So, the Brodie Grundy to the crows rumour is gaining legs. Grundy is a Free Agent end of next season at which point he will be 26 years old and he has put off contract talks with Collingwood. There was more to this interview where he talked about his friends and family in Adelaide and not...

Game Day Biatchezzzzz!!! Win and we head towards a previously unlikely top 4 roost. Lose and we drop down to mediocrity. Portz have been fairly decimated by injury for a change. On our side of the pay gap Lukey Brown is back in town! Hinkley longery for hardery is Pyke's natural prey...

Let's do this biatchezzz!!! Win this and we jump to 5th on the ladder by my calculations. Everything to gain, much to lose. A loss at our home ground here would be unacceptable and could see us drop to 10th. A lot to like about our last couple of outings. Back on an even keel at 3-3 after...

Do we not do Face offs any more? Apologies and pls merge if we do. This game is make or break. Time to stake our claim. St Kilda have carried all before them so far with the addition of Ratten to the coaches' box, but I'm not convinced just yet. Conversely the crows had their confidence...

Yes, you lovable lemmings. Our dear leader, much like China's Chairman Xi, has had his rule extended to 2022 on the sly. Thankfully for our collective self-loathing and love of losing this will extend his gloryless dictatorship to 13 long, unelected years since Chapman took over the boys club...

Carlton are ultimately exactly the cracks to wallpaper over we didn't need before our 'review'. Milera :heart: Smashing first goal from the Berg. Jerka with a bag. Should move into full-time ruck for mine. Half a mill of our cap to go on Dougie and Dmac to go round again. Poor centre...

About the only notable thing Fagan has done during this s**t show of a year is dumb down the lexicon with this little beauty. So, how will we "reset the mechanism" after what has been an unmitigated disaster? Falling from minor premiers with a bullet and grand finalists to the bottom 8. Will...

Pathetic effort. Midfield atrocious. Tbf Sauce got schooled again. Too little too late. You only have to listen to Bickley for 5 minutes with all his "oh lets not jump the gun", "let's wait and see" to realise how pathetically conservative and reactionary the culture of this club is...

Not much to write home about. Hampton piss off you clown. Milera good. Doedee good. Seen enough of Poholke. Hartigan you tool. Where is Keath at? Need Betts and Murphy we are too slow forward and can't lock it in. Also need Knight back locking down on the oppo half back. Tank now and...

Dmac is a spud. When we need senior players to step up he is invisible. At crucial moments his best is never good enough. Has deprived more talented players of hundreds of games over his career. Again Milera has a BOG game at HB replacing Smith against GC so we shift Milera to the HFF no...

The sad truth is that Jacobs is cooked. He's been demolished by the new breed of athletic ruckmen all year. Gawn, Grundy, Ryder, Essendon's ruck whose name escapes me atm all put him to the sword. Jacobs is instrumental in our losses. Thanks for the memories. Time to go after Scott Lycett...

Breaking news on TF. Brad apparently talking to a surgeon re his groin issues and gone for the year. Jesus Christ

Early GD thread with not much fanfare in honour of the fact we are playing the worst team in the comp at home and this should be a workmanlike annihilation. Probably the most interesting aspects of this game will be one of: 1. How will short back and sides Gibbs perform against the corrupt...

With Melbourne's 2018 first round pick in the bank from the Lever trade, here it is. The Melbourne death ride. I actually think Melbourne will do ok, but for shits and gigs lets hope for player unrest connected to Joke Lever becoming their highest paid player and a fall back to their lazy ways...

The Don. Architect of our first Grand Final in two decades. Genius. Man manager extraordinaire. Has built on the foundations of Phil Walsh. Elite standards, team first and man conversations are cornerstones of our culture. They are well publicised. Pyke is a different kind of operator. He...

So we all know the leg up the swans get from their academy picks and why such a well established club hardly starved of finals action requires such assistance... However, the bigger question is: is it time to introduce academies for all clubs? In my opinion this would be great for the game...

Sorry Scorpoman, but proud of the boys tonight. Out: Atkins In: Seedsman/Milera Atkins terrible. I suspect Milera will be straight back in. Club rightly sees him as a future Burgoyne. Would also like to see Seedsman back in to bed in before finals

Friday's game against Geelong in Outer Mongolia will be our biggest game of the season. The ultimate sign post game. An 8 point game between 1st and 2nd (assuming west coast hold their current lead). This game will put us back to being a game clear of the pack or we will have to share top spot...

So the COLA Academy vomit fest go forth to tackle ex Crow Patrick Dangerfield in a prelim final. The stinging reality is we haven't progressed at all compared to a year in which our coach was murdered and there was constant instability caused by the Dangerfield "look at me" fest. We now have...

Seriously. We all know this guy is a spud and getting games because we over reached on a dumb contract and need to appear to get some pay out. But 2 goals 12 behinds for the year has to silence even the most adamant fanboi. What a composureless buffoon. What kind of example does this panicky...

There's a fair chance the national audience was distracted by a rubbish game on channel 7 tonight. However, unfortunately at the showdown in Adelaide an unsavoury event unfolded that needs to be brought to attention. With 30 seconds left in the showdown between Port Adelaide and Adelaide (a...

2014 AFL Premiership Round 13 Saturday June 14 7.10pm – Adelaide Oval v The Journey: Friends, crows fans, countrymen. It has been a long road, it has been a hard road. There is no end to this damn road in sight. Triggy keeps farting up front and Chappy hasn't found third...
