Reflects the conservative state ....and old fashioned footy thinking

We're followers ....not innovators, as Neil Craig tried to have us believe

We'll build slow and steady .....then two players we've developed will chase big $$$ .....and the cycle recommences

PORT at least go for the ring !
We are far worse than that.
We go through cycles which tells me we stuff up then bring in some new people who start to fix the joint but the old guard behind the scenes seem to make decisions to screw everything up so the good people leave and we left with incompetency, rinse and repeat.

We promote incompetent people to important positions without any track record who embraced the entitled boys club mentality all the way down into the playing group.

We get lucky from time to time when someone elite wants to return to S.A.
I come to the conclusion it has very little to do with our management.
Burgess for example.
Jarman another.
Dawson and Rankine.

We seem unable to entice anyone to come who is of any significance at any level

Betts?

The fact that 3 out of the 4 you have mentioned have happened since the internal review gives me some faith.

You don't think that's due to other factors?
Go read there reasons and put 2+2 together.

Betts only left because Malthouse was in self destruct mode at Carlton and it was between us and NM

With Francis requesting a trade to Sydney do we get in the ear of Gould? Francis probably not ahead of him in the pecking order but string if he strings a few together you never know.

I doubt he'd be eligible for our reserves side after he's delisted by Sydney.
 
Mofra has put Matt Crouch at #33 in his "Bottom 50" list. The write-up looks like he's nailed Crouch perfectly:
Win Prizes - Mofra's Bottom 50 for 2022

Jeez a lot of over the top negative BS gets put on this board. From the camp to Pike and Burton exiting was a sh”tshow granted.

The period leading up to that - two coaches pass away suddenly, we lost two years of draft picks, lost the best player in the game to go home - and still made a GF

We bought in Jacobs, Betts, Jenkins, Lynch etc through the early 2010’s

We reset after the couple of years of rubbish and have since bought in two of our best recruits of all time - Dawson and Rankine

We got Burgess - great get. We got the Hawks CEO off the back of their most successful era ever

We make a lot of mistakes too - but so does everyone else

Your entitled to your opinion and I will stick with the facts.
MCrouch playing vs the kids now we havent exposed the kids.
TT dropped after round 1
Davis 6-7 years on the list
Havent drafted a project ruckmen since when?
Cant make list changes because there's so few uncontracted players.
We've played finals 4 times in 13 years which more than likely will extend to 15 years and you reckon over the top.
Maybe you swallowed to much BS

Bickley has said that the Victorian clubs are spreading Bowes contract over 4 years.

Surely with our cap space we would be going to Bowes keep your $800k for 2 years and sign a 2 year deal only, if he wants a longer term deal give him a reasonable rate for years 3 & 4. We are effectively buying pick 7 but getting a decent mid.

Then we use 7 on Phillipou.

I hope like hell we have gone hard for him, if we haven’t, then ****.

Well we clearly aren't because it's Geelong or Hawthorn. He doesn't want to come here.

The kid chose Geelong and wanted a Vic team, people don't want to come to Adelaide unless they're from here or it's a last resort
