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 “I think” 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? It’s not a big problem either way.

There seems to be much argument about “the game plan”. 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. It’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?

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?

We are in a serious funk. I don’t think we can play any worse. We just need a bit of confidence. The intent is there - it’s between the ears now.

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 didn’t want to share that - especially around the players - so couldn’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.

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?

What did you think of Fritsch in his 150th? Are you concerned with his recent form?

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.

Was actually a great game of footy, huge clunks end to end, with speed on the ball. Unfortunately as a redlegs supporter the result didn’t go our way.

Can’t under estimate the value of dominant crowd support

Was that Tomlinson sitting next to Davis? Great kick Jordan

This is the same Tex Walker who sooked it up at Jake Lever leaving the crows. No Thanks.

That future second rounder for McAdam hasn’t aged well has it.

I really like what we saw with Windsor this year, let’s use pick 5 to get another gem like him.

I read it that it was the opinion of the board that trying to nominate to be on the board without being asked would be considered by them “adversarial”. Nominations are allowed it’s just they didn’t like it.

Really? It seems to me all he wanted was a reasonable chance to put forward a case to the voting members as to why he would be a better candidate. He was not given that chance. I don’t know the bloke, but it sure seems like all he asked for was a democratic election process. I read the judgement and it sure seems like his requests were fair and reasonable.

What a great retirement speech! Well done sir, pure class!

Why 2 years seems more than reasonable for both parties?

Can we have a discussion about centre clearances. I concede that there is nuances around centre clearance, that mean winning every centre clearance isn’t necessary, especially if the opposition kick dirty ball in that we can intercept and slingshot from. But I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the first quarter saw us win some centre clearance, get territory and then lock it in with pressure resulting in a fairly dominant quarter. Post 1st quarter The Giants then were able to get on top in the middle. This is a repeat pattern that opposition is winning clearance but are getting cleaner entries than we would like, putting our defence under way too much pressure. I can concede we have had injuries, But we have the premier ruckman in the comp and our midfield cattle is good. Is this an Yze vs Mcqualter thing or what is going on in the centre clearances.

Is Andy’s ladder predictor back this year?

Percentage is going to be so important in this very close season. Please play this one out boys.

Melksham on the left, what a kick.

I read Petty didn’t get up after training with a hammy
