I'm pretty happy with the mix in the team. There aren;t too many of the 2007 draftees who have been able to have a real crack at the pre-season I don't think. Cook, Armstrong and Kite have been injured and at this stage I wouldn;t play Dangerfield, although it would have been good to have seen...
Yep, I like the look of the new forward line. Obviously when they cut the numbers for game one there will be less players for the midfield rotations and Goodwin and Edwards will have to spend some time going through the middle, but it certainly takes the heat off our younger forwards like Sellar...
Footy is starting to get serious so its time to get back on here and join the fray. And from what I hear from out of the Advertiser, the scrap between Rucci and the AFC is also getting serious. Apparently the Rooch has returned from Italy still spewing on the fact the Crows refused to pay his...
Yep, I;m a happy camper. Ebert would ahve been a safe play but the thing to think about is that if we had had pick three in this draft, we would have taken Dangerfield. He was still there at ten, so Adelaide made the call. If the club had rated "Roger" and Ebert about equal, I'm sure they would...
The reality is that McDermott and Jesper have absolutely no idea about any of the players they have listed. But that won't stop the former skipper having a crack on Sunday if he doesn't think the club has picked the 'right' players.
Yeah, great idea:confused: How about we give everyone two and three year deals to keep everyone happy. No, why not make them all three or four year deals.
Hudson wanted three, was offered two. Welsh, who was in doubt just about every week in 2007, wanted two and was offered one. Both thought...
I'm a huge fan ... and I reckon he's a big shot for 10 especially if Myers and Ebert are gone. The only others I think could slip in at 10 are Selwood, Rance, Ward and may be Henderson. Unlike others here I'm not scared by Henderson .... he would have been checked out medically so if they pick...
Once Adelaide has settled on its order, it is fair to say that the player ranked 10th by the Crows will not be a Crow on November 24. You would instead expect that a player (or more than one) ranked 3-9 on Adelaide's list will slip through because apart from a couple of obvious picks there will...
20 is not enough when we have picks 27 and 30 (and even 38) ... so here's a top 30 without any real consideration for club's needs etc
Kreuzer, Morton, Cotchin, Henderson, McEvoy, Palmer, Masten, Ebert, Grimes, Meyers, Otten, Grant, Dangerfield, Ward, Selwood, Rance, Maric, Gourdis, Simpson...
With a username like that, your call is not surprising. Yes, Edwards is on the decline but although I feel for Torney, he is the sort of player the club needed to move on to refresh the group. Suddenly, I'm looking forward to 2008. We could have another seven teenagers on our list, plus Symes...
Yes, where oh where is bighawk1961?
Speaking of which, it will be worth the $1.10 tomorrow morning to see how the Rooch handles Port's pathetic performance. Considering the way he gave Adelaide a bake for losing two prelims to the best team in the comp by a small margin, it should be...
I watched the media conference on the website ... where does he says 6-7 players will go? At least now when Rucci puts his spin on the Craig quotes in the morning I will know every word Neil said. Liked his explantation of the franklin dilemma. Still think he could have made a switch midway...
I;m a member so I get one. The last copy had Roo on the front and came out around the mid-season break. The last one of the season usually comes out late August so it might be done soon. You should be able to get copies through the Crowmania shop. Certainly its a lot better than it used to be.
I think something that goes against him is the fact we don't play permanent wingmen anymore - the midfield rotation group go through these spots. Martin's tunnel vision means he can't play as a midfielder who has to spent periods in the centre square, so therefore he has been tried at...
It doesn't really matter. If we win 12 games we will almost certainly finish in the top eight. But if there had been a loser of the St Kilda/WB game, that side would have needed four wins to have any hope, so for these two clubs the draw was certainly better than losing. Believe it or not...
FFS! A C10 journo copies a rehashes a story from interstate, gets Reid to answer a question with a nothing response about possibly looking into Ireland, and all of a sudden Adelaide are hammered for "copying" other clubs.
Thanks for the level-headed and thoughtful post, Stiffy. :thumbsu: A list is a list - not a team of 22 - and if Rucci and others can't see that Adelaide now has a better LIST than it did this time three years ago, they are blind (not me!). Back then we very few kids to pin our hopes on but over...
Just a thought ... if it is the Rooch, isn't it ironic that Big Footy could finish him off. I reckon a print-out of his posts to the head honcho at The Advertiser would require a fair bit of explaining. I'm sure the Crows also would like to go back through some of his vitriol.
Continued ...
Thursday: Bit disappointed people have not talked more about more about my tough questioning at Sunday's press conference so I have another great idea. Let's pull out a few of Craigy's quotes, have a crack at smarty-pants St Neil, and see if I can get him to fire up at...
If Porps doesn't get up we have to find two players for the weekend. So presuming Welsh is ready to return, the only options are Jericho, Hinge and Pfeiffer. Jericho didn';t play last week and had a very poor game the week before. Hinge went to Perth last week and has been okay for Glenelg. And...
A week in the life of a newspaper ...
Monday: Arrived at work early because I knew the editor was pleased with me. May be I will get another pair of boots. Love it when those bloody Crows lose, even when it's just by a point way over in Perth. Pulled out my tape recorder and had another...
How dare NC not give Rucci all the answers he wants! How dare NC use the media to talk to our members! Gee, Rucci is going to win plenty of support with that one. There's an old saying, Rooch: "He who throws shite must not expect flowers in return." OKay, I made that up. But seriously, anyone...
