Adelaide's decline

O'Brien would comfortably be the first ruck at Richmond, Geelong and Brisbane. Who would be ahead of him?
Martin and Mcinerney at Brisbane are both comfortably better than ROB. I am stunned any Richmond supporter would have him ahead of Nankervis, Soldo or Chol. Would Prefer Coleman-Jones ahead of him as well. He is also no better than Rhys Stanley.
 
2017/ 2019 Flags say hi.Nankervis and Soldo have score on board. This is comedy gold. O’ BRIEN has trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.
I agree Soldo is a better player than O'Brien. That is based on ability. Flags have nothing to do with it.
 
Travis Cloke is a premiership player, a dual All-Australian and a B&F winner. Taylor has never achieved any one of those accolades, let alone all four of them. Travis also made it to 250+ games whereas Taylor looks like he'll barely make 200.

Was Travis Cloke a 'champion'? Debatable. Probably not. Is Taylor Walker a 'champion'? Not even close.
Not comparing their careers, Cloke was clearly the better player, but they both sufferered sudden declines when neither were particularly old.
 
Reilly O'Brien would be first ruck for 3 of those sides. Laird would be a walk up start at all of them.
Highly unlikely ... Richmond would not trade Soldo or Chol for O'Brien and they have Nank .

Lions would not trade McInerney for him same goes for Natanui and the Eagles .

Geelong is the only likely taker for ROB at first Ruck .

Laird and Smith would make the cut for all teams but they would be in the mid to bottom half of the 22 .

Matt Haas, one of Burton’s sidekicks who completely destroyed Brisbane’s fitness as well. Turfed out a highly competent fitness coach who wanted to be here in Matty Bode (now at Carlton) , because he didn’t get along with Roo’s best mate Burton.
Also why Bassett has never been at the club either, was the Roo and Burton factor

ROB wouldn’t attract a bid in a sales ring.
He’s got the worst legs I’ve ever seen.
Quite comical when he is forced to kick though and you just knew he was going to miss from the top of the square yesterday ...
 
Where is Sydney 1993? They were worse than all of them far as I'm concerned. Because of how recently after Fitzroy were folded I think people forget just how hopelessly non competitive they were.
Sydney 1993 avg scores 13.12 to 22.15, 1 win (also against Melbourne, there's a theme here), only conceded less than 100 pts ONCE.

Reilly O'Brien scored a near perfect ATAR score and is studying bio-medicine .. you'd be the intellectually challenged peanut if you were in the same room
 
Even now, comes out saying that he's enjoying his footy more than he ever has.
Saw that, that's ****ed up.

I had huge respect for him not long ago. He's done a 180 with me.

He was better than that. Maybe a future jobs for the boys candidate alongside Tex the way they are towing the party line.

McInerney? Are you ****ing serious?! Soldo?! You’re seriously taking the piss, ROB is potentially about to reach 1000 hitouts the quickest of any ruck in history (since stats were kept). His tap work is improving, we all know his around work is top notch. I mean ****, McInerney, bloody hell 😂

I think you may have Crow coloured glasses on. He is not better than either of them.

Laird is massively overrated by Crows supporters. There's a reason oppo teams don't give him any special attention, because he racks up the stats and is hardly damaging. Not quite as bad as Matt Crouch but in the same category.

Not as much as the club overrate both of them.

They’re both AAs, Laird multiple, but yes they have dropped away since 2018. Laird looks to have improved since moving into the middle.
 
I don’t. Is there a reason why you never post on the Crows board and always in this thread? I have my doubts you’re actually a Crows supporter.
I don't post in there because I have some objectivity, you don't, nor do most of the posters on the Crows board. I get more sensible and rational discussion about the club on here. If you want to doubt whether I go for the Crows, be my guest. Won't keep me awake tonight.

He always blindly BACCS the boys in.

Disgraceful how Sloane stood vocally with management against his teammates after the camp fallout. No doubt his loyalty is with management after the 5yr contract gift to go along with him being in the off field megamoney Adelaide clique.

I bet he has lost a hell of a lot of respect with many unheard voices at Adelaide FC and at the periphery of the club also.

Sloane’s been bought,
There’s no two ways about it ...

Haha ok. The majority of threads on the Crows board have the same themes as this thread. I’m sure it won’t keep you awake, but it’s obvious as anything you don’t actually support the Crows.
 
He is in the majority. Also sums up a lot of supporters who question you about being a true supporter because you have the temerity to criticise the club. The clubs Facebook page is a true sign of this.
You would literally fit in with the majority on the Crows board with this attitude, I’m certainly not in a majority. Your attitude towards what you think a Crows poster resembles on here is in line with the usual Port suspects.
