First call is wrong, their skill level is far beyond most.

They're poorly coached and lazy
I thought this before, what are they playing for? It's no jibe as being a young club but where's the drive coming from, what's their purpose?
I think Adelaide have a very real purpose.

There was an outcry because we were getting goals kicked on us by small forwards. There still is. Brown's poor games last season were explained away by everyone because he carried a groin injury for the second half of the season.
Luke Brown averaged virtually the same B&F votes as Joe the Goose :p

Nikki - I'm telling you, we HAD to get gold members numbers to order the tickets, couldn't have ordered them without them. AND not only that, Mum and Dad had to show them to pick up the tickets. I remember it like it was yesterday. The following year they changed it so you couldn't order over the phone. Had to line up. Luckily we got ours through the Club.
97 we had to ring through to get the gf tickets. Me and Mrs Rocket went into work and hit redial on 4 phones for a couple of hours.

98 I went to the prelim, bussed back overnight arriving in Adelaide at 6am - went straight to rundle mall to line up. Good ole Mrs Rocket had lined up since 2am so we had a good spot when they opened the doors.

We only had silver in both 97 and 98. Both so enjoyable -want to do it again.

The problem I see with GWS is it kami kaze football - it is not controlled and it appears rushed and their disposal then suffers.

Compare our skills to theirs - it is chalk and cheese.

If we by chance got to the big dance and played GWS I reckon we would have them done.
Bit like us last year
