For anyone thinking that wasn't a good performance and that we should have won more easily, think again. Adelaide are a great team and could easily have been a strong top 8 team this year if a few results went their way in close games, and they were playing for their season yesterday. I'm encouraged by a number of young players coming into form, such as Koz, Chin and JVR. Melksham is exceeding my expectations at the moment, which makes for an interesting dilemma when it comes to Fritta when he's fit again. The usual suspects were immense, won't even bother naming them because you know who they are. Rivers continues to impress the hell out of me. Great result, on to the next!

You can really see how the BJJ training he does with his brother pays off

No huge loss if we're being honest. He's served as well as depth, but I certainly wouldn't lose sleep over this one.

I can confirm this. I was born in Adelaide and last night I was looking for my phone for a good 2 minutes while holding it.

No. I would express this in more colorful terms if DL didn't have a profanity filter.

Soon enough I'll look back on 2020 as the good old days of hard footy, similar to how I looked back to the 80's and 90's in 2020. How depressing is that.

What all these commentators seem to be missing is the fact Gawn probably only has a good year or 2 left in him as the primary ruck, at which point Brody will take the helm while Gawn spends his twilight years up forward.

Could have been a great player Sam. We'll never see it though.

Rivers is having an unbelievable season. His signature will be as important as anyone's when he's contract is up

Out: Petty, Spargo In: Chandler, Smith

How good is jarred rivers

Frothing for an update on this thread

Met Sophie in WA in 2013 (or 2014 cant exactly remember), she was great company!

Wouldn’t the point be that we would be expecting to see an increase in his output after a few seasons rather than a plateau?

I’m sure they’ve watched Brisbane play at the MCG since forever

Petracca appears to be dropping the ball far too high. Easy fix I reckon

Embarrassing performance. Just pathetic. I'm ready for Hardwick now ...

Can we please trade Harmes, he is an absolute liability

Couple of same game multi job applications. And remember Nathan, apply for jobs responsibly.

I was speaking for myself. You must have noticed I used the term “I’m absolutely willing” and not “we’re” Very clever observation detective

That's a price I'm absolutely willing to pay to see the end of gambling advertisements

You have serious issues, dude Just wow

Gawn had Luke Jackson rucking a lot in our flag year ...

A slump in form doesn't necessarily warrant a change tactics/coaching strategy, which was my initial point.

With all due respect, what might need to change is your perception of how effective forward lines actually function in 2023 and what yields the best results based on our personnel. I won't fully dismiss it, but I'm not sure this is necessarily a forward coaching issue.
