About on par with yours...lol, you comparing the 2? One of your silliest posts
I sometimes wonder if its a self fulfilling prophecy where we think we cant get anyone so we dont try as hard as we could?Hands down, we would have the cheapest group of Coaches and Football GM in the AFL.... Its actually embarrassing.
Like, we wouldn't even be close to the 'Soft Cap'.... Outside of D Burgess, we must be so far under the soft cap the AFL must be paying us.
This pathetic small minded "but... but... we can't attract anyone... " excuse is such loser mentality complacency.
If Geelong can attract players to live near farms in bum****ville 2 hours out of Melbourne, Adelaide can attract players. Its not Adelaide - its the useless inept people trying to convince them that's the problem.
You sweet innocent childJust a musing
could we be holding off delistings for another reason?
somebody else IS actually coming in over the top of Nix and they have said they want to be part of all list decisions made?
Yes, comparing the input and dropping of Mods and ROB seem on par.About on par with yours...
we can always hopeYou sweet innocent child

Yep, I bet they've never thought of that.100% agree on this.
I’ve thought for a while, why can’t we offer players / coaches a beautiful place and land in the Hills/Barossa or on the Fleurieu.
We really have hacks running our club don’t we.
It's not that it gets reallocated - but any budget unspent can be used in other areas, I guess.Does money saved in the soft cap get reallocated? Ie does skimping on wages help fund training facilities or other areas?

Hmmm dont know. Living in the Adelaide hills or Barossa is lot nicer than living in Wallen or Lilydale or Frankston. anyway its more to do with being away from their family and friends than adelaide being quiet or whateverI completely disagree.
Regional Melbourne gives you everything you need from the city within easy driving distance, with the chance to escape to something quiet.
There's literally no comparison with Adelaide. A vast number of Australians wouldn't be interested in living in Adelaide no matter the offer, yet along then living somewhere remoter than Adelaide.
It is unrealistic to not acknowledge the general attractiveness or otherwise of the city. It's not just a football club issue.
I'd say we're not making delistings because outside of ANB we don't have any guarantees we're gonna recruit anyone. Eg if we sign Cumming then we probably let Hamill got, but if we miss out we'll keep him for another year.Just a musing

No, there's no advantage to releasing players early, so we're just holding back under the small chance we may want to pivot and keep someone.Just a musing

Burgess and Gollant are based on Burg staying/going or Luko coming in. What's our tall forward depth with Gollant, Burgess, Himmelberg and Gollant gone?that doesnt explain mchenry burgess gollant to name a few
i have no problem with no cuts being made YET but not for the reasons you mentionBurgess and Gollant are based on Burg staying/going or Luko coming in. What's our tall forward depth with Gollant, Burgess, Himmelberg and Gollant gone?
Even McHenry is a chance to be kept on the rookie list to play SANFL.
Imagine a scenario where we miss cumming to Port as a free hit, miss Lukosius to Port and they only pay a 2nd rounder for him on a lower contract than we offered and we overpay for ANB and then proudly announce the re signing of McHenry.It must be a strategy of the AFC. It feels like every year, regardless of the obvious delist choices, we are one of the last to confirm our delisted players.
I would gag if the club was not announcing McHenry because it was in their thoughts to potentially pivot and keep him.
1 of those first 2 will stay, likely Burgess. He can stand alongside Welsh again next year and help the kid out.Burgess and Gollant are based on Burg staying/going or Luko coming in. What's our tall forward depth with Gollant, Burgess, Himmelberg and Gollant gone?

Dont even......Imagine a scenario where we miss cumming to Port as a free hit, miss Lukosius to Port and they only pay a 2nd rounder for him on a lower contract than we offered and we overpay for ANB and then proudly announce the re signing of McHenry.
cumming to adelaide is done so this isnt a scenarioImagine a scenario where we miss cumming to Port as a free hit, miss Lukosius to Port and they only pay a 2nd rounder for him on a lower contract than we offered and we overpay for ANB and then proudly announce the re signing of McHenry.
Geez I hope not as clearly not AFL standard.1 of those first 2 will stay, likely Burgess. He can stand alongside Welsh again next year and help the kid out.
Totally agree, but its probably not what he's there for. I suspect Gollant will want to find another home and might be able to, thats all.Geez I hope not as clearly not AFL standard.
So slow.
You're hounding of Wayno is way way over the top.Yes, comparing the input and dropping of Mods and ROB seem on par.
You’ll go to any length to back in one of your boys.
So I’m assuming you were previously a different user name, can I ask who you were?Lol, I do remember a time when a few folks got a bit personal about me here - not meaning you, but my memory is that it was a bit disorientating when people on an internet forum start mentioning things about you in real life.
My name wasn't a very good way to hide my identity.
Fwiw, those I've met from here in real life have always been pretty good people.
