Yeah but nobody deserves fk all. Its ridiculous what norf got.

You finish down the bottom you get the #1 pick. That's it.

True, but giving help to most probably the wealthiest club in the competition just makes it worse on my eyes.

Why is it that you want to make it harder for bad teams to become good again? Are you watching this snooze fest of a season and observing what happens when father son/academy picks blunt the draft as an equalisation tool at the same time as free agency gifting talent to the top teams?

I actually agree that the arbitrary priority picks shouldn't exist. The actual draft order should advantage the bottom teams much more than it actually does. It's not the 00s anymore with 16 teams, a pure draft and no free agency. The premiership team shouldn't be picking until pick 40 or 50 or something like that. Make it harder for teams to stay at the top and easier for them to get off the bottom. Then you'll actually have an entertaining competition rather than a competition where half the games every weekend are foregone conclusions.

No issue with altering rules around academies and drafting.

Whats embarrassing is clubs requesting favours and getting confirmed or denied based on the whims of a biased person.

Imagine if JUH comes back for the bulldogs. Darcy Naughton and Jamara would be unbeatable. Up there with the three tall attacks of Buddy-Roughead-Gunston and Brown-Lynch-Bradshaw

Or even Thilthorpe, Fogarty and Walker

Mihocek not wanting to sign a 1 year deal with Collingwood. I’d be putting 2 year deal in front of him , on good coin , at 100 miles an hour.

zero point at 33 years old next season.

 

[PAFC66]

They won a Premiership more recently than your favourite Crow-boys have played finals.

Not a good look given the crows have won more finals than us since the power stance in 2017.

West coast will make finals before us with or without a handout.

Why? We ain't making finals for a few years , he's 33?

Anyone know when our B and F night is out of curiosity.

Ken's birthday.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

It sucks that the Crows can actually have some genuine optimism and excitement about how far they might go this year.

Compare that to us under Hinkley when you knew that no matter what the circumstance, we weren’t ever getting past a Prelim.

 

[theouthouse]

Think they have the Rileys to Rorys balance worked out to a treat, imagine the Crows with another Riley.

No doubt about it that Ports bad season is being down to having more Rory's than Riley's on the list, you got to have more Riley's than Rory's in this day and age.

Might be a long time till we ever see another preliminary again.

Nicks looks like a prick with ears

 

[ploppy]

The band wagon is really starting up at west lakes

 

[PowerBaz]

Koch looking at crowd and $ the Crows are making tonight. You suck Koch - killed the club mate.

 

[P4Life]

Sam Mitchell on Fox Footy basically questioning what the hell he is doing answering questions from an Adelaide Crows Board member 5 minutes before a game. First time I have ever seen Riccouto lost for words.
When you think about it it’s farcical

 

[JimmyBC]

Epic levels of bath water

 

[PAFC66]

It's south Australia vs Hawthorn tonight apparently

It still staggers me that there was an army of people who still hadn’t seen enough to make up their minds by the 2017 Elimination Final.

That contract extension was a death warrant.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

I’m expecting the Hawks to jump the Crows early who will fall into the trap of still believing they're up against the same bunch of corpses as last week.

Didn’t we win a final
last year?
