The coach is largely irrelevant, Leigh Matthews has been refreshingly honest about this. The primary indicator of premiership capability is an elite, talented list. We have slowly eroded that as an asset in our list (it seems from our recruiting over the last 10 years) and expect the coach to...

Yes the king of Figjam did so well as a coach didn't he?

We have the cattle? where?

"shitouts"?

We will likely finish bottom 4, like we would have last year if we didn't get double games against some real bad sides. We have progressed from a really bad side to a bad side with occasional glimpses of ok.

Rioli caused it, SPP just happened to be in the way.

Yes, what an excellent addition to the contact sport of Australian Rules Football. I also hope they will cancel games in the wet because slippery is dangerous, they should also cancel games in the heat because people have died from being too hot. Clown world solutions.

not to mention in era's that are vastly different in game style.

"Pedlar, Schoey, Dawson and Laird/Crouch... midfield stocks would be top 4 worthy" That's some serious glass half full assessment there. I miss adelaide bud.

"We'll probably never be at the level of a Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond, West Coast, Geelong or Sydney." You should be on the board with that sparkle of brilliance.

sounds a bit creative with history to fit your story. his shoulders were screwed, he was never going to be the great that he was - but if you had the young talent for him to teach then its not a bad play imho.

And you have the most skilled, naturally gifted player Ive ever seen play. Coupled with McLeod's best in the right game. Without them we are still searching for the first flag.

Welcome to the world of the AFL, where what matters is victorian and nsw premierships. How the most talented football state in the land has become an embarrassment with both its clubs is beyond me, something suggests the AFL dont mind having such abominable Chairmen/boards helming the SA clubs...

A guy that is mostly injured, mostly appearing lazy and fragile on the field, who takes an occasional mark. What exactly has he done to be the last of our problems? imho he is the epitome of our problems.

It is most assuredly true and the reason we will and do go nowhere - year on, year out. Acceptance of mediocrity is a curse, and unfortunately seems to be the modus operandi for the club and its supporters. Off the field - who is elite? Darren Burgess is about the only one. Our coaching...

Yes Im certain it will be a responsible and balanced production. All you clackers condeming a bloke who got out there and put himself in harms way, just as he was sanctioned and trained to do by our government. Who'd have thunk trained killers might do some bad stuff ey? Just like the...

Clown of your ilk would need both wrists Id have thought.

The irony of pointing out assumptions in others posts and then saying "I’m merely saying mental illness is highly probable sometime between his drafting till now" Is there a single piece of actual hard evidence that this has anything to do with mental health? Its comical the nonsense bandied...

This. Nth Melbourne merge with hawthorn, relocate to Tasmania St Kilda merge with Gold Coast, imagine the parties... Bulldogs merge with GWS Essendon merge with Geelong, or alternatively are relegated to the VFL. 14 team comp, Preseason games scrapped and a 26 game main season - everyone plays...

Or maybe just the things you don't agree with.

Why are Aus wearing Black and Gold?

The usual vultures parading as journalists stoking the flames for money have now had time to reflect and realise they may be in a tad of strife if the claims turn out to be unfounded, or explained in a reasonable manner. Or more likely their lawyers have demanded for zips on lips. The vacuum...

Why did Brisbane wear a Fitzroy jumper in a prelim? Marketing and sales?

whats the 21 in the lineup?

Rowe recruited for one purpose only - to get a radio station host on board and less critical of the club. Sight challenged Freddette can see he is not suited to the pace of the game, and has not shown he is able to overcome this with pure skill like some have done.

How many fingers needed to name those wins in a time of the year when it mattered over the last 5 years?

TLDR: Harsh. What do you expect him to say? Perhaps a few angry or pointed press conferences might make for good off field fodder for the press and emotional supporters, but they are unlikely to add value to the way forward. Surely what actually matters is what he says behind closed doors to...

The hate for Frampton is strange imho, to me he mirrors an early Matt Robran in development. He is athletic, can run, has foot and hand skills and has shown enough to surely sit at CHB for half a year and truly develop. God forbid we actually get an attacking CHB that shows some run and flair...

I think the win/loss, and when and against whom the wins came make a fairly compelling, consistent argument. And the constant lack of hand/foot/decision making skills displayed every game by most of the players might also make such an argument. They are a side that has one mode - ugly, and...
