I realize you're making more of a comment about the Power, but pride isn't something you turn on and off, you either have it or you don't, and we don't.
We lost to Carlton FFS.
Can anyone remember the club ever coming out and saying before a season that we're rebuilding, and that fans should be patient and then they'll be rewarded in a year or two?
I suspect there are three cultural issues going on:
1) ironically, there's a belief Adelaide fans expect a certain level...
AFC failed the morals test when we didn't get rid of Trigg after the Tippett scandal. We now have Ricciuto with multiple conflicts of interests, acting concurrently as director and commentator as well as business partner of a number of current Crows players, opposition players and opposition...
If you watch the doco '1997' and listen to Blighty, he definitely says that having coached three losing grand finals was part of his preparation - that he continued to think about what he could have done, what he learned and how he would change things. Jack Graham yesterday looked like he was...
With a few minor exceptions, the umpiring was actually quite reasonable in my opinion, despite the reactions on BF.
We never got into the corridor and bombed away to get inside 50s giving our forwards little chance - 3 of the first 4 goals we got were opportunistic rather than the result of a...
You beat me to it!
There were always two things I didn't like about having Danger in the side:
1) whenever he got the ball, everyone else became a spectator because they knew he was unpredictable and would try to go it alone - great players make those around them better not feel excluded
2)...
You're right, it was Melbourne not the Saints.
You're also right about if you win in finals you always progress, probably used the wrong expression there about 'destiny in your own hands'. Under the old system, your team could be eliminated by higher ranked teams losing to teams below you, so...
Mind you, we would have played Essendon who finished eighth and we beat in the minor round vs playing the Saints who finished sixth and who we lost to in the minor round. Not disagreeing, just saying we might not have lost the first round final.
I do much prefer the new system where you don't...
Glad people are talking about this ... CC has a season disposal efficiency of 40%, worst in the club, averages 13.7 touches and 4.4 tackles, neither of which earns him superstar status.
Many have mentioned his tackling but 4.4 is hardly a tackling machine compared to Sloane (8) or Greenwood...
