Autopsy Flogged as expected by cats on our own dunghill. The 14 streak continues.

For gods sake, Fisher looked out of his depth in the VFL on Sunday. Contracted til 2027 too lol. Whoever gave him (and Logue til 2027 - I could go on re others but you get the drift) that contract should be marched out the door immediately. I seriously just want someone at the club to show us a bit of emotion, a bit of anger, just give us SOMETHING that shows us they’re not all dead inside. And get up in front of everyone and use your words, no bloody letters thanks

What's worse than the lack of footy production and list spot and money drain on blokes like this...is that they are not people that will add anything culturally.
So even parking them in the twos on their 1.3 million combined PER YEAR isn't going to help - it will probably detract - from young fellas who still have some hope.

Seriously, it's a ****ing disgrace. It makes me so angry. Just get two blokes from the SANFL on 300k between them. At least they'd GIVE A SHIT !!!!

The board should be furious. Utterly furious.

But...bet they're not.

They are obsessed with the ‘community’ and ‘The Huddle… ‘ how about being obsessed with performance and winning

I don't think they are obsessed with community and the Huddle. Seems like plenty of others are though.

Exactly, couldn’t agree with you more,
infuriates me. Was chatting with a friend after the game about Logue, Fisher et al and he said they should be left to rot in the two’s - I argued it would do more harm than good with their lack of work ethic and don’t give a shit attitude. Last thing we want is their apathy rubbing off on the kids coming through. Just cut our losses and pay them out

Drop them to the VFL feeder club

 

[Cyber_punk]

It’s never as bad as it seems? Hmmm. Checks Ladder over the last 6 years. I think it is bad. It’s very bad. :stern look

You know it's bad when we have more oppo supporters coming here and offering sympathy instead of trolling our losses.

I remember a time (yes years ago) when poor performances were rewarded with demotions to the 2nd's or players doing extra training sessions. These days they seem to keep getting rewarded with games in the 1st's, defended by the club, despite how shit they are

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

thought first crack couldn’t have got it any more right

 

[El Capuano]

So these guys apparently have the game circled on the calendar and then provide that slop out there like they don't care? Why? Because Xerri and Larkey are out?

Pathetic

Normally, I would expect the board meeting at the end of the month (or the season) to look at all changes that are required to get the club back on track. But all we will get will be a list of positives and improvements, and looking forward to more "progress" in 2026

 

[ferball]

But we have a wellness coach?

We don't have a wellness coach. We employed someone to try and adjust the players mindset to have them focused and in the moment during games instead of in a mindset where they are thinking about all the losses and all the times they lost composure. Idea being they stop themselves thinking "Oh no its happening again and we can't stop it!"

Money well spent soft, mentally weak. Paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and cant get themselves up. Pathetic

Taps the sign. Crows played in the Grand Final in 2017 - since 2020 they’ve added some great go home players to a core that was already very good. Recovering from a stumble when underperforming is nothing like building from the bottom.

I think you're underplaying how shrewd their recruiting has been.

Easierier to recruit when you are a two team town. Being the tenth worst team in the town makes it very difficult. But we shouldn’t be offering C graders B grade money. Its ****ing stupid

 

[archereleven]

What I’m scared of is that if this continues they will try and push us out of the comp. They don’t need much of an excuse to try again. I genuinely thought we’d be better this year. I just want footy to be joyous again.

If we are bottom 4 until 2030, which we could very well be, there wont be a membership base. The club will kill itself.

Personally I don't think its money well spent.

I'd be making them spend their off season helping rebuild in a disaster zone or war zone (after the war/disaster ... probably) myself. Who cares if they lose a bit of conditioning cos they can't train.

 

[archereleven]

I still can't look past Dangerflop chowing down on a Souv on the bench. If ever there was a sign as to how little respect teams have for us then this is it. Should be made into a banner and be in the rooms before every game. Sadly our club is just irrelevant.

In life, you mostly get what earn and deserve.

We deserve the disrespect shown as we don't even respect ourselves enough to pressure, fight and claw. Talentless traits that require endeavour only.

Its on us.

Which of the current Adelaide players played in that Grand Final? I haven't checked but would be shocked if there are more than 3 blokes who still remain. Laird, Walker, ?

I think that's it. Maybe O'Brien? Dunno if he played tho.

All clubs are mandated by the AFL to have a club psychologist, at the very least, to monitor mental health and wellbeing.

I'm not sure how it works but i really think we need to look at exiting contracts for underperforming players without paying out the full whack

North needs a supporter psychologist to be provided. Paying over $1200 a year for the family Social Club membership to keep watching this crap year on year does plenty of damage

I was going to quote (and shall) that famous line from Fawlty Towers when the psychiatrist says of Basil: "There's enough material there for an entire conference."

How many were there to help them get off the canvas in 2020 and following seasons compared to the “leadership” we had? Point is, our list was already pretty dire, especially the shortage of senior players to show the way out of the mess - you can’t pick a point in time when they looked equal on the ladder and compare what kids coming into Adelaide or Collingwood (their one ‘bad’ year) or Richmond are surrounded with, with what our kids have to do for themselves. Tossing out Harvey and Drew and Spud, with so few good leaders and nothing to replace them was disastrous, worse even than it felt at the time, but honestly we never had the quality that took those other sides to grand finals and then was able to stay and hand over.
