    Yes with limited grey matter

    Adelaide have the ability to rise up the ladder next year so their future second may be not worth much more or even worse
  3. Who do we blame if our forward line sucks next year??!!

    Game over Essendon have done it again, first half season specialists. Almost fell sorry for their supporters , almost

    Glorious, seeing Essendon [censored] the bed and miss finals is somewhat softening the blow of our season. Carlton and Collingwood miss out and I'm satisfied

    So Houston only became aware of all these "issues" after a Tom Morris report and the subsequent SEN , AFL.com, hS page page and airtime fillers in the last 3 days.... Please
  7. I applaud his level of bravery to get out on the field , but seems really dumb for the club to allow him to play while so banged up. I was one who got stuck into Clarry at times this year due to what he has produced on field which has been way below his standard and barely AFL standard recently. He should never have been playing with such injuries I thought we learned our lesson in 2022 by selecting the effectively the same 22 every week when we have able replacements playing good footy at Casey and not manage players after the 10-0 start ,we saw what happened in finals.
  8. Good, will be a net positive for the final 2 rounds. He's been between serviceable and liability for much of the season and his last 3 weeks diabolical. Amw back in ,Judd more midfield please. We need to make clarry earn his spot through performance next year

    Good lord one of the positives of 2024 wants out. He's given his all for the club. Him and Angus along with Max are truly heart and soul players and now 2 will be gone. This will leave a big hole
  10. No, he's cooked and would be paying him to be On the injury list 75% of the time
  11. Now that 2024 is officially done and dusted from a finals perspective. I thought I get a positive thread going into 2025 , because I'm sure there will be plenty of negative ones. For me some of the positives are. -judd mcvee - continual improvement and one of the best small/mid defenders in the comp elite user of the ball and ability to shut down the most dangerous small forwards. -Caleb Windsor- Skill, poise, speed and tough at it, exactly the type of player we need more of . One of the best debut seasons I've seen. What are yours?
  12. Agree on Salem, but he was not alone in the kick around the corner in a panic without looking. Had 10-12 mates. Also our handballs hit the target less than 40%of the time. It was U/10 type footy at times
  13. Effort was there but we have 2-3 of our 22 who have smarts and composure. Kozzie, macveigh , Melksham. I might have missed a couple but gees we just don't choose or execute the right option most of the time
  14. Kolt was worse billings rushed on his Wrong side. Kolt should have gone round the corner
  15. Ffs lever couldn't stop narkle marking it
  16. Jvr subbed off Goody is cooked
  17. Jvr subbed off Goody is cooked
  18. Fresh legs might be handy, they are a player down ffs
  19. Absolute BS call, kozzie clearly taken high
  20. To be winning at 3/4 time with 8-10 passengers is pretty amazing. Clayton, Chandler, billings, hore, Fritsch,jvr, Tomlinson,Salem, Rivers all been pretty bad
  21. Happy with what we've delivered tonight , don't think we'll win it but loved the effort, that's all I ever want to see
  22. He's worst on ground
  23. Tmac muffed the kick then didn't man up urggghh
  24. Love the effort, just lack that skill and execution coming into the forward line
  25. We need a handball coach
