And there lies one of the big reasons McAdam was unsettled at Adelaide. Lots of words went back and forth between him and Burgess. McAdam said he felt an injury and he shouldn’t be in main training to make sure he doesn’t trigger anything. Burgo told him to do get in the group and as you say ‘run it out’ and an injury occurred that session and he missed 4+ weeks. That’s McAdam’s version of events anyway.

This is scary 🤮

Happens with most of our new recruits. As far back as Steven May. and he’ll happily tell you about it😂

Club have said just a bad cork.

Teach the boy early 😂

Might’ve slept in from his late night at the Aus Open last night 😂

Because the season starts in just over a month? Would be more concerning if they weren’t training considering the amount of time they’ve had off already.

Just ask him to provide some solid training updates along with all the posters on here. Our social media team certainly aren’t providing anything 😂

Tall stocks taking a hit already 🤦🏻‍♂️

Am aware of that. Although compared to other clubs, we are very average in any content area. Wish it would be improved upon.

Yeah don’t think the clubs social media team ventured out either….. pathetic with barely any updates or content as always.

ANB critics still on his back? Bloody hell, we would’ve been in a much worse space without him last year. Was one of the only ones who hit targets inside 50 consistently. Most underrated player in our side. There’s a reason he’s got a cemented spot in the side every week.

It’s just rubbish isn’t? Worst in the league. No interviews or barely any footage. Absolute joke. Just need to look at how the Pies, and especially Dockers/North today went about updating fans on what was going on. Such a neglected area.

Howes will be replacing Riv in the backline. That big bull Riv is heading straight for the midfield

I enjoyed and appreciated your interview with Koltyn mate. Interview wise you guys do it best and wish you had more access so we could actually get some proper insight rather than robotic short and sharp ‘get it over and done withs’.

Yep. The club’s social media is by far the worst in the league. Social media doesn’t move the needle for everyone (understandably) but for the people who do enjoy regular updates, the lack of content and quality of it is rubbish. Minimal photos, next to no training footage, the interviews with players and coaches are just over 1 minute if we are lucky and we are one of the only clubs who doesn’t do press conferences in pre season. Billings, Tholsturp, Brown we still haven’t heard from. Would’ve loved to have heard more from McQualter also. Wish the club would try to improve in this area however they clearly do not care in the slightest since Ben Gibson left.

Bit of word that Tomo has been dropped for Petty.

So you think every young key forward who comes in will be like JVR and dominate games like he did last year? Right. That’s all I need to read then to know there’s no point continuing this conversation.

Your excel at thinking you know better than our recruiting team is what I find amusing. The kid has played 8 games? I'm sure you watched Judd McVee last year and said the same thing when he didn’t have any influence on games.

Comparing to JVR again who is a different beast for his age. it’s Jefferson’s first year, so stupid to keep comparing a rare talent, to one who needs some time. But again, enjoy writing 18 year olds off, it’s a great look😂

His eyes are paid to pick players, and built this Melbourne list form scratch😂😂😂

I did watch, and it’s a coaching issue no doubt but also, Carlton made that game very ugly and didn’t help what we did at all. They flooded the backline at all costs to stop score, which created no space. Not all teams do that, bottom 4 teams do, which Carlton are just that.

After this long, I thought people would trust Jason Taylor by now, who this guy he was huge on. I guess not. I can’t wait for him to prove many wrong, because I have no doubt he will.

Our forward structure was Brown-Tmac, Fritta and Gawn/Jackson in our Premiership year. Our defence was Petty May Lever. It never needed to be changed other than personnel. 2 key defenders and the interceptor. And 2 key forwards and medium tall with a resting ruckman. Brown standing in the square alleviates so much pressure from Roo purely by the defender he takes. Fritsch gets a third tall who he can play off if Brown is there. I struggle to understand why people can’t see it to be honest.

Brown doesn’t need to work up the ground, in fact he doesn’t need to leave 50. That is now, and evidently Roo’s job. If he gets it kicked at him, if he’s in front, he marks it, or he gets a free kick. Time and time again we have failed to live up to what he needs with direct kicking to him on a lead. He’s not a bomb on head forward and I cannot believe or ever fathom how the coaches can’t see this. If he puts his arms in front, it’s an arm chop or a defender falls into his back. we should be playing someone on Darcy Moore, unpopular opinion I’m sure, but that should be Jake Melksham.
