BT: "If this is the 11th placed team then what a comp we have".

Not really - it's a sign of how mediocre the top side is if anything and have benefitted from better sides being ravaged by injuries all year.

Richmond wondering why they are last for free kick differential. They play dirty and give away heaps

The differential should be a lot higher considering just how many throws/HTBs are missed.

Maybe it’s about the “fixture”

"ADELAIDE is backing in its key football department staff with Brett Burton and Matt Hass both set to remain in their current roles next year despite the club’s shock slide this season.

As the Crows continue their internal review into what led them going from grand finalist to missing the finals this year, it’s understood management will resist making wholesale changes to fitness staff and key decision makers.

There have been public calls for heads to roll at Adelaide but both chairman Rob Chapman and chief executive Andrew Fagan are expected to confirm the club wants stability and will stand by its men when the Crows play their final home game of the year against North Melbourne on Sunday."

Personally I’d prefer excellence to stability

Clearly too much to ask for

It absolutely baffles me that this performance can be accepted and then rewarded.

A little piece of my love for this club just died.

FFS, the AFC had an opportunity to win back the supporters by making strong off field changes.

In typical AFC fashion, we went for the more comfortable, easier and cheaper option.

 

[GROTTO]

Seriously the AFC should get Volvo as their main sponsor, because all they ever do is make "safe" decisions.

 

[Carmo]

Well, the news burton and hass are safe matches my expectations. I was surprised when I heard these leaks that one or both was gonski. Didn't ring true for how clubs operate in the post leading teams era. Everyone has input into everything else, so everyone signed off on the fitness regime that saw us get a hammy epidemic. That either meant everyone was getting the ass or no one pretty much, and when they had a pretty good year the year previous I had my doubts. Another year like the one just gone though and there'll be plenty of changes, but its a million to one that we'll have another year like that.

Where'd I put my pitchfork ?

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Last year when we rested players in the lead to to finals we lost

Richmond just did the same thing but didn't lose

Having said that. If they were to of played us this week or next here. They would lose

 

[GROTTO]

Where'd I put my pitchfork ?

Into Haas's hamstring.

Free Kick counts vs Richmond, Richmond home games or games at MCG since the bye.

Rich v Collingwood, 16 v 19

AFL to umpires: Yer, make a game of it, except with an understrength Adelaide, * them, let em rot.

FFS well I won't be renewing my Vic membership next season. Seems petty but I'm tired of piss weak responses to performance issues from the AFC. I hope what I've read about internal unrest from Burton's conduct and personality isn't true as we can't afford to lose good people. Poor Pykey

 

[Doc_]

I knew it would happen. Still pissed off though.
2 days before our last home game after which they can then all return to the ivory tower and pat themselves on the back.
The noise can then die down over the off season and its all rainbows and lollipops at the AFC.
