Thats it I believe in Champion data stats there are only 3 ways to score, from a stoppage/clearance, from a turnover or a kick in.

What about the Keays holding the ball decision? That's the one that cost us the game Maggots

The side above has Brayden Pruess in it. So it cant have been the preseason game..

We might as well play Weid and find out for once and for all if he can play. He has had more chances than most and after 5 years in the system he looks a bust. No matter how much we want him to be a success. Has all the attributes but just can't get enough of the footy. If he fails againtst the Dogs we should go with BB who is a proven forward - for the rest of the year.

He has played most of his junior years as a midfielder/forward. Its common for talented juniors to come in and have to learn defence. I think they see Bowey in the Caleb Daniel mould given his laser kicking. But he could certainly go forward.

2 out of the last 3 weeks adelaide have failed to kick 40 points. We let them kick 52 points in the first half.

Perhaps you should open your eyes. 2 of the last 3 games Fritsch has had zero tackles and 9 or less possessions. He's lazy, insipid and provides zero fwd pressure. To top it off he played selfish footy last night and missed a great opportunity to give Petracca a goal instead trying to dribble the ball through. His kicking for goal has been pathetic and ;ast night he didn't make the distance from about 40m out. He can take a break as far as I am concerned.

Loser mentality.

Oliver 6 no on else deserves any

Oliver is a superstar the crows had failed to kick 40 points in 2 of the past 3 weeks. we let them kick 52 points in the first half there is the game right there

Walker is a first rate bogan Adelaide are killing us when the ball hits the ground and with their uncontested possessions. And lever... keep it simple son. You're not that good.

5g1b to 2g1b 4min to go Good start

Weeeeeed

2 of the last 3 Adelaide games they have failed to kick 40 points. Against our defence I suspect this won't change today Not sure why people think we will lose this.

What is interesting is how he has become so much more composed and certain with ball in had. Has always had elite endurance and could get to the right spots but was frustrating as he turned the ball over or fumbled so often Credit to him that he has persevered and improved so much. Even his goal kicking now is tremendous. Well done ANB.

Let's hope he challenges Joel Selwoods record of success..

Perhaps the bake was needed. It was certainly justified.

Lynch is a dirty sniper and a sook

We're still experimenting to find our best side. No complaints here.

The one coach that pulls last minute changes in 80% of his games...

The coaches should have very limited say in whats good for the game. They are not always aligned in their interests. And they will coach to whatever rules are put in place. The same goes for Broadcasters like channel 7.

Virtually every decision since about 1980 was about speeding up the game for TV and positional football as you call it basically died. It is all about the interchange. Players are fitter, running for longer and this creates more congestion If you want to remove congestion keep reducing the interchange. Simples.

Great idea. I havent seen Adelaide once this year. Was perusing their big footy site and didn't get much intel on howthey play etc. It was mostly about how they play 1 KD short. That may not work out well for them this week. Also how most didn't want Tex rushed back inti the side this week. Woud be interested in oppo research

Watch our game against the Swans. They literally dropped the ball as soon as they were tackled. As if they were coached to do it. That is a bastardised version of the ball 'spilling free in a tackle.' Cut down on this and we go a fair way to resolving the issue.

We're 18-3 since Bartlett gave them a bake after the Port game last year..
