To be honest if the club don't do that and I was Nicks, I would quit
What/ when is the tipping point?

They’ll probably give Hawkins a rest and play JJ as the AFL loves to do.
He’ll probably get 5 goals+ Just to rub it in.

I can’t wait to see all the photos on the AFC website when players blow off steam post season, travelling to all reaches of the
ship at St Kilda playground. A couple of lads having a round of golf 
at the Valley View par 3. McPherson getting in some big game fishing 
at Mannum.

And the bolded ones were full of Kids without any AFL experiences including a few NRL code switchers.
I knew this year was going to be a crap year, the start of a rebuild.
Many scoffed when Fagan said 2019 was the end of a five year plan. But it was.
Think back, Walsh said we would be contenders around 2017. We were. We should have been in 2018 and 19 but weren't due to mis management of the players. Destroying team chemistry and individuals physically in those years.
The club blew it
When Walsh started at the end of 2014, you could sense we were building to something.
2020 was always going to be the start of the next push.
But right now I am struggling to see who our next great players are. And have little faith in the coaching staff and recruiters to build the side to be contenders in 2023 and beyond.
We are a rabble.
I hope I am wrong, but fear I won't be.

2020 is a strange year, especially when i find myself agreeing with some of what Stephen Rowe has to say. #fraudulentfaganout
Stephen Rowe Spots A Troubling Development For The Adelaide Crows
The Adelaide Crows look set to have all of their first-round draft picks out of the senior side as FIVEAA’s Stephen Rowe says he is “losing faith” in the approach of new coach Matthew Nicks. Following Adelaide’s loss to the Western Bulldogs on Sunday, Rowey told David & Will during Monday’s...www.fiveaa.com.au

Fitzroy won 1 game in their final year 1996 (thank god it wasn’t against us).
The players are having a golf day tomorrow for team bonding. Really? You think that is going to make a difference coming up against Geelong this week. FMD!

Honestly at this stage, they have to try something.

Maybe a camp of some kind would be fun.

We're better than Fitzroy were in 96, but unless we manage to pinch a win then history will recognise us as the worst team in the AFL era.

Are we tho?
The quarters this year are 20% shorter and our current % is just above that of Fitzroy.

A chant night.
Are we? Here's the thing - I don't think that we are. I think that objectively, we are worse than Fitzroy of 1996. You could argue our list has more potential and youth than them but our fitness is sub-SANFL standard and we won't win a game this year, even with shorter quarters.

Bottoming out is only as effective as your decision makers. For every Hawthorn and West Coast there is a Melbourne and Carlton.
Tell me, do you have the faith that if our administration is given to keys to a Lamborghini they won't wrap it around the tree on the first drive?

The percentage doesn't tell the full story as Fitzroy's average losing margin in 1996 was 72 points whereas we're averaging a 36 point loss.
We've lost two games by under a kick and the Sydney game came down to a shot after the siren.
They were the most uncompetitive team I've ever seen fielded and far worse than us.

Longer or shorter quarters won’t impact the %
That average score against is nuts! Only 3 games less than 100 against
Of course they will.
Have a think about our fitness this year. Longer quarters only means the same percentage if we score at a consistent rate as the opposition in the extra time. I would suggest that we would get heavily outscored, thus greater losing margin, thus worse percentage.

We haven’t been conceding worse in the final minutes of each quarter. Kicked 3 of the last 4 in the final quarter yesterday and the last 3 in the first quarter.
