To me it’s the difference of having the potential to be a dynasty team and one that just wins a flag. Tigers getting Lynch got them another 2. I don’t know if we rested on our laurels after 2021 thinking Tmac and BBB were going to be enough - clearly that didn’t bode well once TMac got injured and BBB was all but done. When we had the picks from LJ in the 2022 draft we went for a ruck in Grundy relying on Gawn to play as a KPF - again plugging a hole , maybe we missed a trick.

I have the same feeling. We have a better chance against Carlton as Scott just knows how to beat us a million different ways.

I hate it when umpiring ruins games. 2-3 umpire goals in a 10 pt loss is just not acceptable in modern footy. Happens almost every game in Adelaide.

Another [censored] goal. [censored] this is too obvious

How’s was that HTB call to open the 4th. Umps not interested in squaring things up.

Umpiring in Adelaide has to be reviewed. It’s consistently bad.

Umps doing their thing

It was a replica game in terms of dominance when we played the Lions. We at least held them at bay wrt scoring.

That is an interesting take. We can walk him straight to the pre-season draft if that's the go and watch Norf who are in desperate need of KPD's snap him up.

.Our dna is contested footy. Our list is built on this. Whilst I said what i said, I highly doubt our contested, forward half game is just being tossed out. That’s the recipe to win finals. Our ball movement and scoring were the areas of concern in past years and moving it faster from back half intercepts is a great source of turnover potential. Also gives our forwards a chance as the old bomb it in and hope for the best doesn’t work. Clearances and stoppage dominance may not be the honeypot we want but it does give you territory, which is a key part of our dna.

Cam will be rusty and no guarantees for Stewart. Their midfield and ball movement will make it really hard work for us - if we put up anything like the last 3 weeks of footy we are in a lot of trouble. Hopefully they are a bit bruised up after playing the Blues.

Shot. Makes the loss even more painful to bare. The only other team they have beaten is Norf. It’s not good company to keep for the time being.

What’s special about this ground?

First time watching Callaghan play. Would be great if we could get him to our club.

It feels like we are no good, you yourself admitted to as much in the previous post. I’ll park it here for now and see how the next two weeks unfold.
