WTF is all this "Development year" bull. This should be a FORWARD PROGRESS year. Still getting excuses for all the dross thats been served up for the better part of most peoples lifetimes. It took Northey only one season to get back some respectability after decades of misery. Bailey get these guys razzed up or get on your bike. And it's starting to look like the Dons and Tigers might end up better than us this season.

Spot on !! We have been way too forgiving - patiently waiting for improvement - we have every right now :mad: to expect progress - and that second half last weekend was completely unacceptable - I repeat - we could well have been done over by 20 goals if the other mob had kicked straight !

    19 months ago we were the worst team in the league, for the second straight year...

    "We're going to win a premiership" is not a defeatist attitude. In fact it's the opposite.

    But emotions don't like hearing that sort of stuff when they can only see each week in isolation.

    Jurrah was hopeless Sunday, and he wasn't great against Sydney. Still young and inexperienced though.

    My biggest problem with the game was the lack of forward pressure. The better teams right now put a lot of pressure on the opposition players when the ball is in their F50. With Melbourne, the ball is like a really quick boomerang. In and out of the 50 in a matter or seconds. Our forward 6 need to put the pressure on and keep it in there. Our backline are working too hard when the ball spends 70% of the game in the opposition backline.

    I will be going to Melbourne v Brisbane this week. We better put in a significantly better performance compared to Sunday. I understand that Melbourne are young and will lose games against better teams. But I expect some effort from the boys and they need to make other teams earn the win. Rolling over like a little [censored] and letting another team steamroll you is not good enough.

    Play Wonaeamirri and Davey forward for 2 weeks and show the others how it's done.

    Development is a defeatest attitude and the club shouldnt stand for it.

    I forgot that you are either winning premierships or you're dead as a football club :rolleyes:

    Development is the ONLY way to win a flag. No club woke up one season and went "that's it, this year we are winning a flag". My god!

    Enough with the logic dear girl, it is not welcome....

    Along with common sense, rationality, sound judgement, sensibleness, acumen or reason.

    Sunday was bloody awful, no one is going to argue otherwise.......

    But to say development should not be stood for is frankly insane and just plain wrong.

    The club must continue to develop to get bigger, stronger, more skilled and thus more successful.

    We are a work in progress, backwards steps are going to hurt as they should, and the reasons for them should be rectified, whatever they may be.

    But all teams learn as they go, we are no different.

    I'm surprised no one has criticized Jurrah.

    The reason for this is that you don't take the Lord's name in vain

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
