  1. Come on fox footy - is it to much to ask - to see the debutants being sprayed with Gatorade? Loved Bowey and Koz today - epic!
  2. I look forward to the Is Petty a forward or backman discussion this week. Like old El Paso - why not have both :.)
  3. Serong - stupid autocorrect
  4. Viney to tag seeing according to Simon on fox.
  5. Japanese driver ๐Ÿ˜‚
  6. If horse is auditioning for the job - heโ€™s got my vote!
  7. Not sure if you can easily see this marked up photo. This was a boundary throw in, with Essendon putting a spare in defence. Melbourne had 2v1 with their extra in the centre of the ground. Anyone able to explain the intent here. Is it to try and bring the ball through the corridor by hand or foot or either?
  8. Not a question but more of a comment. I was hopeful, but after witnessing that live, I see why people say we are cooked. No leg speed, fitness not up to standard, no cohesion. Simon could be the best coach in the land. It doesnโ€™t matter, we need something drastic, We need a reset button. The obvious choice is a fresh voice as coach. The other is a raft of changes, dropping a number of senior players.
  9. Warm one in Adelaide today - hopefully it cools down for game time. Looking forward to a strong performance, but Iโ€™ll take anything, thatโ€™s a win!

    Brilliant - Thank you so much for this update!
  11. #FreekickDangerfield #FreekickCameron Seriously - why do โ€œnamedโ€ players get so many free kicks that no name players donโ€™t. I feel a win coming next week - Iโ€™m going to be the lucky charm!
  12. I wonder how the width of the cattery affects this game style requiring biting off accurate kicks? If there is less space maybe we will see a bit more of the older game plan?
  13. I guess weโ€™ll find out today if there is any glimmer of hope.

    Thanks for the super detailed reply.

    Great work on the upgrade guys!!! Being in IT - I understand what a mammoth task this is just not technically, but managing customer expectations! One thing I have noticed is that โ€œI thinkโ€ the forum used to display the username of the last person who posted in that thread, but now it seems to always display the forum name, am I mistaken? Itโ€™s not a big problem either way.
  16. There seems to be much argument about โ€œthe game planโ€. I think we need to seperate is there a distinguishable game plan from our feeling about if that game plan is the right way forward or working. Either way, it was clear from Goodys presser that the game plan is irrelevant. Itโ€™s back to the fundamentals of contest and winning the ball. What responsibility if any does Nathan Jones as a new midfield coach have on what is happening in the middle the last 2 games?
  17. Matt Rowell absolutely towelled us up. It seemed to me - at least at some points - he was being matched up with Oliver. Oliver is my favourite and clearly the best player on the team when firing. But he has the wrong body shape to stop a body shape like Rowell. Surely Viney or Petracca are better suited head to head with this body type?
  18. We are in a serious funk. I donโ€™t think we can play any worse. We just need a bit of confidence. The intent is there - itโ€™s between the ears now.
  19. Great run-through this week - well done to the cheersquad.

    Hi Guys, Possibly starting this thread early. Last year the club had an open training session for fans in Adelaide prior to the gather round Match. I booked the day off work, was all set and then got a really bad virus the day before the training. I didnโ€™t want to share that - especially around the players - so couldnโ€™t go. Hoping for some good news that it will run again this year, hopefully I can get leave again, any info on plans would be greatly appreciated.
  21. Fumbles, fumbles fumbles - was it the pressure, conditions or just pure bad skill? All is never as bad as it seems. We won the inside 50 count. Is there any hope we can improve our conversion?
  22. What did you think of Fritsch in his 150th? Are you concerned with his recent form?
  23. Any coincidence GWS dominating the end of both quarters - superior fitness?

    Presser for the crows. What a class individual, absolutely respectful way to answer the questions about your former club.
  25. Was actually a great game of footy, huge clunks end to end, with speed on the ball. Unfortunately as a redlegs supporter the result didnโ€™t go our way.
