Craigy v Eade....

[noddy]

Oh, we're capable of plenty of drivel here too. This thread is something of an anomaly.

However the recent deleting of my A New Thread thread was a body blow for drivel-lovers everywhere. That thread had unlimited possibilities.

Was cut down before it had a chance to blossom

Shame on you Mods.

Anyone who subscribes to the "premiership window" theory must wonder if the Bulldogs one is close to shutting, and if it does, a strategy that has brought in Aka, Hudson, Welsh and now Hall will be second guessed.

Eade more or less said the same but said they would remain competitve

We have done well and should not be fickle supporters. We have a quality coach, club and list, and should be big enough to ride out the odd trough in view of the bigger picture. P*ss weak supporters give me the s*its!

It's hard to split them, but I'm happy with Eade. I grudgingly admire Adelaide, and I thought Craig was the best coach in the competition before Geelong's 2007 domination. At that stage Eade had to undo the Rohde damage (2005) and contend with injuries (2006, 2007). It's worth noting our last two seasons have been almost injury free with regards to our key players.

Adelaide were outstanding in 2005 (1st) & 2006 (2nd) and should have made at least one GF. Our highest H&A finish under Eade is 3rd (2008, 2009), and it's usually the top 2 who play in the GF. Comparing finals records, remember that Adelaide finished above 6/9 finals opponents but only won 3 of those games. We've finished above 2/8 opponents for the same number of wins.
