Eagles are pretty well known for not having the best forward lines ever (mainly because of blind and idiotic Victorians) but one teams forward line that doesnt cop the criticism it deserves is Adelaides.

Quite simply its the worst forward line the games ever seen. Apparantly this is there forward line

FF: Bode Welsh Burton

HF: Perrie Bock Edwards

Lets have a look.

Bode - Small slow and cant kick to save himself. Sums up most of the Crows youngsters too. Ordinary

Welsh - Umm yeh. The poor mans Kent Kingsley. Cant kick nor do anything of any help to the team. Not even good enough for SANFL

Burton - I think the mans lost. The midfield is up more. Midfielder who can do the flashy thing one game per year but no chasing tackling or hard work required of a forward. A decent player yes. A forward no

Perrie - AHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Bock - Last years CHB expected to be there no 1 goal scorer and CHF. Reeks of desperation. Isnt a forward

Edwards - Midfielder who the game has passed by. Should be his last year in the game. Lets hope he leaves with some class unlike Ricciuto and co

Wow. After doing that write up I realised I underestimated just how bad it is. Crows will struggle to kick more then 7-8 goals all year. I think its time for Adelaide fans to get well acquinted with next years draft. There gonna need to know what to use there top 5 pick on

WOW F-_U


And to think you only beat us by 10 points.

If the West Coast Eagles can only beat us by 10 solitary points, how ****ing piss poor must the West Coast defenders be. What the **** does that say about the West Coast defensive unit if we are worst forward line ever in AFL/VFL history.

You will come back with some bull **** remark and twist it round by saying that they were not tying or some **** like that, but hell why would we argue with you, everyone know you are the football genius on Big Footy.

It says you got lucky. Neil Craigs boring defensive gameplan protected no talent hacks up forward. By flooding and preventing other teams from scoring you were able to cover up that pathetic excuse for a forward line Adelaide have.

Unfortunately for Craig Woosha has figured out how to stop his boring gamestyle and Crows are no longer a threat to the comp for about the next decade. The decade of misery has began

yep, they'll struggle I reckon.
We have confirmation. No one knows more about struggling then a Carlton fan. It really is a problem for the AFL atm probably moreso then the drug problem. Surely the AFL cant allow a forward line this ordinary to take the field. Itll be a embarssment to the competition :thumbsdown:

Last year we were the second highest scoring team in the league. From last years forward line, we've lost Hentschel and Ricciuto, who combined for 86 goals, and regained Welsh and Perrie, who, in 2005, combined for 97 goals.
Burton kicked 41 goals last season, has kicked 50+ goals before, and started his career with us in the forward line and played most of his junior footy at FF I believe.
Bode is there for his pressure more than anything, and finished 6th overall in tackles last year. Can be relied upon to kick 30 goals or so per season.
Bock was our most effective forward in the finals last year - watch the Fremantle qualifier to see what he can do.
McLeod has been training to play on a HFF this preseason. We've seen in previous years that he can pitch in 25-30 goals a season from this spot plus create chances for our other forwards.

Certainly it doesn't help having Roo, Hentschel and McGregor all on the injured list, but we have got Bock, Welsh and Perrie back to cover them.

Due to your ultra flooding defensive tactics the ball spent all the time in your forward line which is the reason for that stat. Next year it wont be the case as Craigs gameplan has been cracked. I can guarantee Adelaide will be the lowest scoring team in the game next season (along with North Melbourne). In reality theres only so long there defence can protect there no talent forward line.

As far as the missing McGregor and Roo go, well there worse then the current crop and wouldnt crack a game in that forward line anyway especially McGregor who is quote possibly the dumbest footballer ever. As far as Hentschell goes. Me and you both know his career is over

I would of taken that bet hands down if it Nathan Thompson didnt do his knee. Now Crows are only a 50/50 chance to claim that spot. Will take it for the year after though. Infact ill bet my house on it.

Okay, well then how about we change the bet to bottom 2 scoring sides.
If the crows are amongst the bottom two scoring sides in the competition at the conclusion of this season, then I'll be banned, if not, you will.

Im not the gambling type im sorry. Are you sure your not Simon Goodwin in disguise.

I wont take that bet but ill guarantee Adelaide will be int he bottom 2 lowest scoring sides in the comp. That forward is well woeful, I know it you know it and judging by Craigs super defensive gameplan he knows it too

A F-U guarantee is worth alot in this world. You should have figured that one out by now. I was the one who predicted Riccito would go missing during the finals 6 months before it happened. No one could of predicted a excuse that pathetic though

So the title of your thread is wrong then (go back and edit it), you now aren't sure whether the Crows are the worst forward line in the AFL/VFL. You have no guts at all and no confidence in your own opinion

I have much confidence i guaranteed it. That is enough. Typical Adelaide gambling culture coming through here. Nothings interesting unless theres money on it. Probably similar to one Prelim final

An F-U garantee is worth ****, obviously, coz you won't back it up when someone calls you on it. You've changed your tune twice now.

You're just shooting your mouth off and I can only assume you're having a fish, as no-one with an ounce of knowledge or credibility would act the way you have.

Once again, S O F T

F-U guarantees have been proven right on many occasions. Obviously a noob like you has little intelligence and doesnt know this. I havnt changed my tune one bit. I still gurantee they have the worst forward line in the comp. Its there on paper for all to see
