Closest to the pin. Who are the other two? I'm going Kelly and Lade

And then there were * Number of remaining premiership players * Played his role to perfection in the flag year as part of the triple pronged pressure fleet. The injury at the start of last year probably sealed his fate and then Sharp coming in probably sealed it further despite not doing much. Think this is for the best as North could use some HFF types, he does have the kicking going for him and I hope he does well.

Agree 100%

That surprises me, thought he'd go pretty deep.

May as well change the club motto to "Don't tell your right hand what your left can do."

This club loves the mysterious approach..

Nice one HB cheers. Looking forward to reading it.

Yeah I think this is happening. And I think it's for the best.

Ripped a hammy off the bone, shame because he was looking bloody good before that. Purdy is going to have to earn those bucks.

Huge win. Take 1-0 over 0-1 any day. Just like us, gutsy win but not pretty viewing. Moody's two botched FG attempts have cost him his job so we're in the market for a kicker. Seeing Kupp in Seahawks colours was just weird.

I loved that massive tackle he laid minutes into his debut.

Probably trying to drive down external contract offers?

Spot on. Len Smith was possibly the sharpest mind in the game at the time and forward thinking in this area. Norm and Len would always talk tactics and there's no doubt having Len as a brother helped Norm tremendously in becoming the coach he was. If there is one footy biography people who consider themselves purists should read it's the Red Fox.

Another layer to add to the ever growing rules lexicon. But could this one actually help? Would be nice to get rid of some insufficient intent guesswork.

I don't know if what Edmunds says is true but it wouldn't be the biggest shock. Sometimes at this point it is as much about an experienced coach interviewing the club as it is the other way round. There is probably a better time to pull out of the race though and this wouldn't be the best time.

Very encouraging Mr Leg, very encouraging.

Didn't watch last night live but just caught the mini. What a bang up game and what an effort by the Gold Coast Suns! Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat like champions. For Freo it seems a lesson has been learned. You can't act like winners if you havent been there before.

Look to be fair, for whatever reason they were probably thinking that Longmire and Simpson were pushing each other over to get through the door.

This game reminded me of our QF against Sydney in 2022. Granted our bombing was mostly by design that night but the result was largely the same: In the game up until half time and then woosh. The Crows looked spooked, no-one apart from Neal-Bullen wanted to hang on to the ball for longer than a second and they resorted to the hack kicking nearly every time they got it. The game was tailor made for someone like Darcy Moore to clean up down back. They just couldn't deal with the ongoing defensive pressure from the Pies and Nicks really didn't have answers for it. Most of Adelaide's goals in the second half came from the odd bomb that worked out or a fortuitous bounce etc. Adelaide got a football lesson. Outplayed, outcoached, outrisked, outcomposed. For a team that lost 4 of their last 6 the Pies sure turned it on when it counted across the board.

Hard to remember many moments when the Crows didn't hack and hope kick into 50. The only time I can remember was when Nibbler was on the wing and speared a nice one in to Thilthorpe or Pedlar? Nibbler may not be the best kick in general but I always thought he was a decent kick into 50 player. He'd look for leads and hit them often with low trajectory 20-30m kicks.

Unbelievable. Dog act

Give me quality over quantity any day.

What is your apparatus out of curiosity? The picture in my head is one Excel file with a sheet tab for every year and the tabs are starting to go off the screen 🙂

I didn't say it was better than ours!
