You really think he would survive past a 2-8 start?

By my count, only Swans and Collingwood are yet to be beaten by Matthew Nicks as coach. (He did win 7 games against Collingwood as a player, however...)

Ormond-Allen?

I digress, but in four seasons for StK, in 3 games against Adelaide, Brad never played against his brother.

So I think most of the posts are looking at a general best 22. Personally I have no idea how the fringe players compare to each other, but for those who know, how would you match up against the Fox team's predicted StK round 1 line up? B: H.Clark, D.Howard, J.Webster HB: J.Sinclair, C.Wilkie...

Just had a look at Peatling's stats for 2024. GWS named him as sub for SEVEN out of his 19 games! In the 12 games where he was not the sub, he laid 85 tackles. That's a lazy seven+ per game! Statistically that puts him in the top 10-20 in the league (quick look at total tackles divided by...

To make sure Port overpaid?

Really? My calculator says 44C23 = 2,012,616,400,080. Even if we add the constraint of must pick 1 of 2 ruckmen, that still makes 2 x 42C22 = 1,027,583,214,840. Also, my calculator says 23C18 = 33,649.

Borlase to spend his SANFL time playing second ruck to Strachan.

+1 Claiming Keays is not up to AFL standard is a bit of a stretch. I'll back the AFC coaches rating him as the current joint club champion over a random internet poster every time.

Will Tyler get his Dad's old number?

See yourself out through the Doorson/Hinge/Keys combo. (We're building quite a collection of household names!)

Curiously, Burgess has nominated for the ND, but Schoenberg has not...

Haha. I asked Copilot "Explain Adelaide Football Club list management to a child": Sure! Imagine the Adelaide Football Club is like a big team of superheroes. Each superhero has special powers and skills. The people in charge of list management are like the team leaders who decide which...

If the talk of giving up a future first to move up two spots was crazy, then moving down to spots to get a juicy future first might make sense... But my uneducated opinion is that we should grab the best of the gun four mids at pick 4.

So why Essendon at the MCG and not Marvel? Not that I'm complaining... Last time we played Essendon at the 'G was in 1995! Will be only the 4th time ever that match up has been at the 'G. Is there another event at Marvel on Friday night so that they need all Sat afternoon to reset the venue...

My daughter in Perth is expecting her first baby early April. I think I might have to pay her a visit, probably around the end of April, I'm thinking. Maybe Anzac Day.

Essendon at the 'G. Is that a typo or a 30 year first? At least we don't burn a home game against Richmond. No NT games. That will make on two out of the last 13 years we've played GWS away. (which is disappointing for a Canberra based fan).

The AFL has some clear priorities when building the fixture: maximising eyeballs, both at venue and on television, and making an inherently unfair fixture as fair as possible. Read this, and missed the last clause...

I was thinking those exact same thoughts while doing the catch up reading of this thread. Other clubs interested in Lalor - Maybe Richmond are not! Carlton keen on Draper - leaves only North ahead of us to snare Lalor, therefore no deal required if they are dead set on Tauru. However, the risk...

Are Edwards, Toby Murray or Oscar Ryan smokies for R1 with a big pre-season? I think the only two players I'd rule out for R1 at this stage would be Strachan (unless ROB goes down in pre-season) and Welsh.

If Ashcroft was there at 4, surely he'd be rated above all other remaining talent. In that unlikely event I'd be telling Brisbane we think he's a pick 4 even if you don't. And from what I'm reading on the boards here (I am no direct judge of talent myself), an early bid on Welsh might actually...

I'm guessing there is a player we consider the clear #1 pick, and we want a trade deal in place (for pick #2) ready to pull the trigger if Richmond pick any other player. AFL draft equivalent of ASX options trading.

I'm keen to know who my new favourite player is according to the 25 on the back of my guernsey. It was Rutten; Cheney and McHenry never really grew into it.

Would the difference between another club trading for Schoenberg or Burgess and picking them up in the draft be that Adelaide would have to pay some of their salary (being contracted by AFC) making a late draft pick on a delisted contracted player a value proposition? <desperately hoping...

So, the only questions remaining for the AFC draft night are: 1. Does Hamish have too many tequilas on the night and trade pick 4? (If yes, then a whole can of questions opens up!) 2. Assuming not, who do we take at Pick 4? 3. Do we match any bid on Welsh? (Choosing not to makes 64 a live...

Unless, of course, either player chooses to sign with another club, or gets picked up by a different club when they nominate for the drafts. So correct, it does not create a 3rd list vacancy!

The only surprise being how long it took to make the announcement!
