In all honesty this js the way i see it. I reckon the players have either

1 had it2 good for 2 long with bailey & taken the foot off the pedal with training requirements.

2 dont want to play for the coach.


Its funny that 10 months ago the dees beat the crows at the mcg by 15 goals. With pretty much both sides having the same lists. How times change

You aren't wrong about Ratten, Andonis. The heat will certainly be on if you guys don't beat Port/Melbourne comprehensively. Port in Adelaide is a danger game, though. Don't forget you have to back it up in 6 days against the Cats..

 

[jethro11]

Also, if we lose to Melbourne, Ratten's ass will be gone. Which is well needed. He doesn't do his homework on clubs and never changes his gameplan! Who doesn't do that when their coach!?\

Malthouse (see 2011 finals series).

As much as I hate it, you won't lose to Melbourne, but Port might give it a shake. They're a much better team this year.

Adelaide-Collingwood is shaping up as a very good game on saturday night. Not confident at all without Swan and Reid (plus all the others). We should beat Melbourne and GC and go in to the bye 8-3. A win against the Crows would be a bonus.

 

[Andonis1997]

I'm still not confident. See Carlton V Adelaide Round 11 2004 ((Last Vs Top 8 team) saw it on the big screen at the footy 2 hours before the match).

Yeah, I think I will be watching and enjoying that match.
Adelaide I think has a tough couple of games coming up, am I right?
Crows will finish on top of us. Big call, but that's how I feel at the moment.

*Games. What is wrong with me today!?

 

[jethro11]

Anybody know where I could get old-style woolen jumpers made-up (at a reasonable price)?

That would be the icing on the cake if we actually beat Carlton.

Not really, we're in the middle of our toughest stretch of the season. Only Collingwood at home, then Freo at Perth before the bye. Stoked how well we've played through this stretch.

 

[Mr Zero]

At the start of this stretch I was thinking if we could beat Sydney and Freo we'd be going alright, now, who knows how far we can go?

I find it interesting that often when we get a new coach we make a big jump up the ladder, Craig and Blight also pushed us up quickly.

 

[E92_]

Did anyone seriously rate Ratten as a coach?

 

[Andonis1997]

Not me. Not many players make good coaches. Sanderson is an exception. He told Adelaide to toughen up, bulk up, and get stronger and harder, and that has payed off big time! Absolute legend!

 

[Hand]

We are 8 rounds into the season, Andonis. Cool the jets son.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Its upgrading season in sc& dt

 

[justlookingaround]

Don't know if anyone remembers me saying... but recently I got into a Sports Journalism academy (will find out if I'm off to the Olympics early June) And today I had a meeting in the board room of Sportingpulse HQ
The view was ****ing amazing.

 

[Mullygrub]

Hey guys I'm ordering some leavers guernseys from teamworks for our boarding house an was wondering if anyone else who has ordered or got a guernsey made up by them help me with sizes. I got a size chart but it is very confusing and just wondering what sizes you guys got?

 

[Willo #6]

Not me. Not many players make good coaches.

Matthews/Malthouse/Thompson/Sheedy/Pretty much every successful coach from the past 20 years doesn't count?

 

[Andonis1997]

The players that I've grown up with. Mainly from 2000-onwards.

 

[Mr Zero]

Brad Scott

 

[Willo #6]

Brad Scott

Chris has done better so far

 

[Mr Zero]

Chris has done better so far

I can never get them right.

I'll just call them Geelong Scott and North Scott then.

 

[Andonis1997]

I remember them as Brisbane Scott and...crap...

 

[jethro11]

Chris has done better so far

Chris' real test will come when they slide down a bit.

 

[lmach]

Matthews/Malthouse/Thompson/Sheedy/Pretty much every successful coach from the past 20 years doesn't count?

+ Worsfold, Clarkson, Roos, Williams, Blight, Parkin, Joyce, Jeans, Walls, Barassi

What are you on Andonis???

Bringing this discussion here to keep it from clogging up a thread it shouldn't:

Craegus - So we now have professional companies posting their designs on here now? or am I just seeing things?

Gibbsy - That seems to be the case. Is it unfortunate? I think so. This is meant to be a haven for amateur talent...

Yup, agree, for a company to try and take away chances for amateurs to get their designs made is a bit unfair (especially for those who maybe dream of getting a job in that field and having the opportunity to have their work actually worn would be a good boost to that dream).

Also does it mean that if that design is chosen, it has to be made by the company who designed it?
