I dont think they will make the top 4 but I would be surprised if they didnt make the 8. I base this on an ageing midfield, and a fantastic run with injuries this year which surely cant continue for another year.

It's funny that you actually believe this.
You're best players are in the twilight of their careers. Our best players are in their prime. (obviously there are some exceptions, but this is generally the case).

Best players have switched clubs? Like Josh Carr? Maybe Nick Stevens, but that was awhile ago and IMO was not in our best players. Seems it's catching as you have lost a couple in the last few years, probably more than us in fact. Atleast we don't seem to stuggle as much as you when trying to attract players to come play in S.A.fryingpan said:

Yeah, like Josh Carr, Schofield, Ackland, Stevens, Pickett. Who have we lost in the last few years of any great significance? Yeah we struggle a lot hey, even thought we gained the best recruit from 2005 namely Scott Thompson. Good one idiot.

Just have a look through your list and have a look how many of your best players will be retiring.

Schofield and Ackland were hardy in our best players.fryingpan said:Yeah, like Josh Carr, Schofield, Ackland, Stevens, Pickett. Who have we lost in the last few years of any great significance?

Pickett had a ordinary year, that with off field matters, it was best to get rid of him now while he was worth something.
Kane Johnson, Tyson Stenglein, you didn't want to lose Watts. hmm
By the way how did Scott Thompson play in the finals?
Who is the idiot now?

Best players? Like who?
Bassett - 29
Burton - 27
Edwards - 29
Goodwin - 28
McLeod - 29
Roo - 30
Hart still has one maybe 2 years left in him, and the ones I've mentioned still have many years to come. Strange that you've forgotten about the youngesters like AA Full Back Ben Rutten, Hentschel, Johncock, Skipworth, Shirley, Van Berlo, Mattner, Reilly and Bock. Didn't think of that did you.

You're still the idiot. Ackland is now the Saints number one ruckman. Big loss there. Stenglein is actually doing nothing for the Eagles. Can't fit into their awsome midfield. We don't care about Watts anymore, we have plenty of youngsters. Yeah so Thompsons finals matches is what you base his entire year on? Nice one.

..Yeah thats 5.... Shows how much you rely on certain players doesn't it?
fryingpan said:
Mate don't, we do have a slight rebuild on our hands
Expect us to slip some this year, Roo will be played in bursts through the middle whilst mostly on a forward flanl. Tyson Edwards will work as our crumbing forward this year, Goodwy and Macca will be our back flankers.
This season coming is the year of the Count and Boogie Knights. Time to go into the guts boys

He went for ankle surgery straight after the finals were over. Despite him taking longer than others to recover from injuries he's a deadset shoo-in as next captain of the AFC

You would have to be one of the select few of Adelaide supporters who think Burton is in the best players. Most of you boo him game time.
