We still ended up almost bottom of the ladder though.

The issue is, with Ben back next year then we will go with Cunnington, LDU and Simpkin in the middle, nobody has disagreed with me on this so Anderson would go to the bench. He isn't going to come 3rd in the B&F from the pine.

I agree with you, Jed is certainly fourth in the pecking order. Equally, there is something to be said about having a good rotation of players through the centre circle.

Used to pull my hair out at Brad putting the same three in there at the start of quarters and after every goal.

If the Constable news is true, I wouldn't mind seeing:
- A Rotation: Cunners, Jed, Jy
- B Rotation: LDU, Constable, Bonar

B Rotation has a heap of chemistry from their Haileybury days and I am bullish on Bonar (acknowledge that this is slightly unpopular).

Not to mention that after centre bounces, you see a heap more people around the ball for clearances anyway.

I should also highlight that this is partly why I think we could afford to be more aggressive with moving on someone like Dumont.

Anyone else getting fed up of Mo Hope saying shes an AFLW player and that she is going to have a "BUB" soon

Yep, it drives me crazy. I'm also outraged about Tayla Harris winning young Victorian of the year and us canning our VFL side so we can keep losing money with the AFLW girls.
 
Tas, did you make a bet with someone about how many times in a 48-hour period you could post the word 'pine' before someone commented?

No pine, why pine do pine you pine ask pine?
 
Adelaide handed end of second-round compensation pick for Rory Atkins’ departure to Gold Coast. Huge result for the Crows @AFLcomau @traderadio

 
Yeah, sh*t-trucks on longterm deals...

Fairly cheap player who some on here wanted, have picked a few Rich guys for the past couple of years and now Atkins.. better than having half their side leave and get in a player who they had to pay pick 2 for because of desperation

Plenty of times criticism has been warranted of them, but like it should be for everyone, some praise is also warranted

It’s the modern game, you need at least 10/12 running through the middle each game.
all the guys need to be able to play multiple roles, adding a 191cm developing mid to the team isn’t the problem.
 
I don’t understand the desire to move PoleCat on for a second rounder that will be a speculative pick.
The guy has ability when used in his natural position, Shaw played him out of that position and he cracked it personally I don’t blame him, it’s like employing a plumber then expecting them to be a sparky.
You use yours players strengths not their weaknesses and in Poles case I’m sure he was told in no uncertain terms to not act out.
I would accept it as a lesson and we all move on and keep him to be that outside winger with penetrating kick we need.
And we have a new coach. No disrespect to Shaw’s health situation, but FFS. That was the start of the rot setting in IMHO.

They're a real mixed bag. I'd say they were getting better but Atkins is a step backwards.

Lots of swings and misses. The Weller deal looks alright these days to me, not the disaster it is made out to be. Zac Smith is a decent back-up ruck. Brandon Ellis as a free-agent>>>Pick 11 for Jared Polec. Greenwood clearly a great get. All Atkins is going to do is keep a good kid out of the side. How are you supposed to play all of Atkins, Ellis, Weller, Flanders, Anderson, Rowell, Bowes, Miller, Greenwood, Swallow, Ainsworth and Rankine in the one side?

pre 2019 their choices were terrible but 2019 onwards has been decent so far. Just looking for stop gaps and guys with leadership to guide the young players. They've got salary cap space and really good talent but looking for players to fill the void hence atkins. Their team is going to look better when Treloar comes in. Also they've moved from being the garbage collection club of the AFL to actually getting in players who want to be at the club and that's a big deal in terms of moving up the ladder.

Adelaide handed end of second-round compensation pick for Rory Atkins’ departure to Gold Coast. Huge result for the Crows @AFLcomau @traderadio



Hopefully this generous allocation softens the blow from not receiving Band 1 for Crouch.

Harder to complain when certain results go your way.

Bloody hell

They must be getting #2 AND #3 for Crouch!
 
North fans: when Ben Cunnington is injured/gets tagged, we are exposed as he has to do too much
Also North fans: we can't recruit a player that plays the same position as Ben Cunnington

Pick 40ish. Not sure if huge, but anyway....
