2015/16 Pre-Season Thread

You've killed your own argument right there, TEAM players don't just go in and get it they play to TEAM structures.

Pretty much. Not getting fed, so he's down to throwing a tantrum to get attention.

Did this shit last year didn't he.
It's like a kid chuckin a wobbly. Give in and your screwed.

Do you feel like the AFC have engaged with you as a supporter this summer?

I don't and feel as if the PAFC have taken another step away from us in relation to being the number 1 team in this state.

Supporter engagement - port power win
New sponsorship deals - Port Power win
On field sucess in 2016 - Port Power have the greater potental
Losing players the club want to keep - Adelaide Crows win
Good news stories - Port Power have released plenty more once again

Sitting in the boardroom last week with Fages and Shutts I felt very unengaged with.

Anyone notice/mention Fagan's response on Twitter?

Game, set, match.

No. What was it?

Rooch really pushing his agenda.. Poor Riley on the end of it here from about 1:05

What agenda. All pretty tame there.

I'm sure you felt like Jada Pinkett Smith going to the Oscars.

Alternative opinion. Must be troll.

Awesome.

 

[Elite Crow]

Any chance we can keep this crap discussion out of the preseason thread?

 

[Elite Crow]

****wit writes a crap article and we've let it infest our thread, it's just the attention the ferret wants

 

[StickerMan]

They've been pretty good on Twitter and Facebook all summer. Plenty of videos, photos, stories. I can't think of anything I wish they'd done differently.

Agree with this. The club releases a video almost daily on their website which has been great to see the inner sanctum of the team, without compromising the team's success.

Get over it Rooch. Maybe earn your money by writing a well researched, thought provoking article rather than airing your obvious displeasure that you are not being handed stories.

When do we actually name the squad for Sunday's game?

[Pdub]

One thing I would like from the club is better training videos, they should film every session and when someone does something special, put it in a 30 second youtube clip. I sure guys are doing cool shit that is straight out of a match highlight reel every session, would be cool to see more of that stuff. Stuff like the crouch v crouch one on one drill the posted a few weeks ago. Show us a crazy goal eddie kicked in the match sim, show us Tex taking a contested mark against talia, Show us lever winning a one on one against tex, Menzel slotting one from the boundary. It could easily be done to not give away any game plan or structure, just short out of context highlights. I'm sure they film every session anyway.

I believe it's at the usual time of 6.25pm AEDT on Thursday

It's been enjoyable scrolling through 7 pages, thankfully I didn't read much of it.

North are evidently targeting a good start. The side we played in R1 last year bore no resemblance to that which ended in a prelim.

Will be hard

So should we though given how hard our first half of the season's fixture is.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

North going to try and win in round 1. That's a novel concept.

 

[Jars458]

I couldn't see my own reflection in the mirror this morning.

The way our Club dealt with terrible tragedy all last year must be gone now. The love the passion and the soul have all gone in one pre season. I am sure no one will turn up to our first home game.

It's just a shame Phil isn't here to put Mr Rucci back in his place. I think he is a very sad person.

Our soul is alive and well.

 

[pjcrows]

"The AFC lost it's soul".

No. We actually found our soul about 8 months ago.

Michaelangelo, you are an irrelevant troll with no pull or credibility in the media.

We'll said!

I haven't read the Rooch article & don't intend to. Rooch is frustrated that he has gone from a major Afl journalist to largely irrelevant... But it has been his own doing.

I have stopped buying the daily tiser as got fed up with reading Rooch, bone, cornes, etc & I'm really better off without them.

Whilst it was a devastatingly sad year for our club last year, the way everything was handled & how we bonded as a community demonstrated clearly we have a genuine soul. No bitter journalists attention seeking can take that away...

Not sure if this has been posted, but a nice upbeat assessment of our season:
No Danger, no matter for Adelaide

God I hope that is true. Hilarious.
Actually had this conversation with my wife a few days ago - it is becoming more and more difficult telling the difference between boys and girls. There are a lot of long haired boys and a lot of what used to be called Tom Boys.
