China's GDP wasn't supposed to surpass USA's until around 2030. Donny seems hellbent on making it happen ASAP. 🤣🤣

James Barrat - if he does any thing good - let us know - looks the type who could become an ideal long term 3rd tall defender. 194 cm good mark, reads the ball well, neat kick - exactly the type to fill a vacancy in our back half.

The ultimate manifestation of neoliberalism. We will help but only if you pay. Bit like your neighbour saying - yep I'll help save your house during a bushfire but you'll need to sign over 25% ownership before I'll help you out. Perfect system for the morally bankrupt who view every facet of...

AFL told clubs last year that Injury timeframes had to be more realistic and should be when players should be ready for selection not just return to full training. Clark, Jones Marshall are not listed so you'd expect they will be available for selection. King, Owens - 50/50 (Owens more likely...

Don't like Macrae and Boxshall? I reckon Macrae's career averages would be better than Peatling and Neale Bullens combined outputs. Doubt King will make it but if Marshall is fit to play it will make a huge difference.

Wood, Higgins, Butler, Marshall, Wilson, Boxshall, Keeler, Hall 12 goals there at least

Whoops - you're right - I forgot about Hugo. Given the injury list that's not as bad a side as people are making out. My only query would be Hall - not sure who else could fill the spot. Boyd plays a fery similar way to O'Brien so it would allow Marshall to spend more time deep fwd.

Are we talking about the same Adelaide Crows that finished 15th last year with 8 wins? From some of the comments I was thinking it must be a whole new franchise.

After yesterday and the likelihood that Owens and Sharman will miss Round 1 B: Wilkie Cordy Webster HB: Sinclair Caminiti NWM C: Wilson Steele Hill HF: Hall Wood Higgins F: Butler Marshall Keeler Foll: Boyd Macrae Clarke Int: Jones Boxshall Hastie Windhager Sub: O'Connell

I think there's a reason most organisations don't go down the path of concentrating power and decision making in too few people - when it goes wrong it goes spectacularly wrong. My biggest concern is that the last club to have management structure vaguely similar to the one you describe is...

Gallagher's family situation changed and he sought to to do his job from Adelaide (similar to Cripps but in reverse) - when that was seen as unworkable, he resigned. Walsh left for personal reasons 3 months after he was appointed. Lethlean was moved on by Bassat. Now the unique management...

Yeah - would be nice but if you look at his SANFL stats marking is not a strong point. Av only 2 marks a game. I think not getting outmarked is the best we can expect. https://norwoodfc.com.au/teams/players/1000958/?league=sanfl&season=2024

Well that looks like a "messiah" structure to me. We'll know by the end of the year how whether its a great idea or one that sets us back another 5 years.

Yeah but Sweet had Soldo as a ruck partner. Given who we are likely to have missing come Round 1, not sure why they didn't go Boyd and Heath or Boyd and Keeler as a combo. Pretty solid solo effort by Boyd I thought.

Start in the 2nd qtr, put a a bit of paper over part of the screen that shows the score and it isn't unbearable.

He'd need to improve his kicking - for an "elite" kick he was absolutely shocking today.

How to tell us you're not watching without actually telling us.

I thought we'd gone past Owens as a 2nd ruck - but here we are in a practice match with Owen as 2nd ruck. Bizarre that we played Heath at Sandy and have left Keeler off for the 1st half. Skills horrid - and that includes the supposedly elite players in the team.

I don't think anyone doubts that the coach shouldn't be involved in list management discussions. But its the extent of involvement of the coach that we are talking about. And in my opinion that should be based on a sliding scale purely dependent on where the club is at in its premiership...

As I said - its a recipe for disaster but I doubt if it is that way. At worst SOS (and the recruiting staff) would report to Executive General Manager of Football (Mission) who then reports to CEO (Dilena). Lyon may have an expanded football operations role (coaching, high performance staff...

I don't doubt he has input - my post was about Stav saying the List Manager and the Head of Recruiting "report" to the Coach. Now Stav may be applying a different usage of the word "report" (as in talks to, works with etc) but in management speak he's saying Lyon is the Boss of list management...

Jeez I hope thats not true - they should work togethor but the coach and recruitment should report directly to the General Manager Football. Having a coach as an "overlord" cost us heaps last time around - hate to see the same thing happen again.

So that's the total extent of your "persuasive" arguments - at least I now know why you hadn't responded earlier. Some Economics 101 for you 4% unemployment rate is essentially full employment in a western democracy and is a sign of an exceptionally strong economy. Interest rates in the USA...

I'm hearing 10 years @ $1.7M Ross not involved in whether we should match or not.

I am when it comes posters saying Elon Musk is going to "fix the economy" then when asked to explain how that might happen the poster simply avoids the question. You talk about "debate" but I'm beginning to realise you simply don't understand the meaning of the word. Debate - generally formal...

No it doesn't. If posters make ill-informed unsubstantiated posts then they should expect to be questioned. And if they aren't informed enough to defend their post then perhaps the best thing for them is not to have posted at all.

Yeah - but the alternative was to keep paying Blake $600K a year for another 5 years in the hope that he actually pulled his finger out and improved. After 3 years at Freo, they also saw the space cadet problem that was Blake and pushed him out and then eventually the penny dropped. In the...
