Adelaide's decline

[Freomaniac]

The Hawks are terrible as well but we always find a way to lose to them.

Dont worry, Hawks always beat freo regardless where the game is played. I am convinced hawks will beat freo in perth in 2-3 weeks time.

 

[Red mist]

It's staggering to see how far they have fallen

Proud club but the effort v Port was woeful

Are their off field issues at play?

Yes duh

Crouch hammy he won’t get them band 1 if he leaves - no one will offer enough

Has a team ever finished winless for a whole season? doubt it happens but it's becoming a possibility.

Fitzroy, St Kilda and University - that's some dire company lol.

 

[Brutalitops]

If they cant get up against North next week its hard to see where a win comes from. Some tough matches after that and two hamstrings in the middle of the shortened rounds isnt going to do them favours

Any modest offer that Crouch may receive will probably be matched by Adelaide.
He won’t be landing the crows any decent compensation.
He, his brother, Sloane and Gibbs go around in the midfield again next season ...

Be good if we can pick him up for $500k

more than that and youre overpaying

Doubt he fits Carlton’s plans.
Just don’t see him generating the compensation Adelaide would require to let him leave.
He’s likely staying a crow now ...

Reckon Gibbs and The Crows agree to a golden handshake at the end of the season.

No way can I see him still on their list next year.

 

[Red Bull]

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel if we keep blooding and playing the youngsters and if we fix the midfield by aggressively trading the Crouch brothers. We are probably in a better position than teams like Hawthorn who are clinging on. I wasn't impressed at all by St Kilda and Essendon in the last 2 weeks who are currently top 4 teams on the ladder.

What do you realistically expect for the crouch brothers ?

Wouldn’t imagine Gibbs agreeing to anything less than 100% of his contract next season ...

 

[CarterS]

They look like Brisbane did in 2016/2017, can put good footy together but go to sleep for 15 mins, hopefully they can get a draft haul and develop, and win a few games because I've backed Sydney for the spoon.

I don't want him at Carlton either. Given the improvement we have seen in Setterfield and Kennedy this year we don't really need another inside mid. Plus we have Dow waiting in the wings as well.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Never seen a team so lacking in foot skills.

 

[Iceman!]

Never seen a team so lacking in foot skills.

This, i have seen some worse teams but not sure i have seen a team miss as many targets as the Crows. Regulation 30 meter kicks under minimal pressure that just don't reach the target. I'm not sure if it is a positive they are remaining competitive in a lot of games despite it?

And Stocker ... and Kemp

They're getting close to wins. Haven't been blown out of a match for a while. They'll view North as gettable this week I reckon.

 

[The Nostradamus]

If they can’t beat north this week they won’t win a game this year

a winless season..wouldn’t that be wonderfull

View attachment 916874

is Reid still employed at Adelaide

 

[Triniboy]

Jenkins at Geelong and Betts at Carlton, both still being payed to play by Adelaide.
Gibbs on big money in the sanfl and appears to have had his papers stamped.
Now Walker to be paid out in full for next season and Sloane to be subsidised at another club to the tune of about 500k a season for 3 more years !!
Young Reid ... what a mess ...

at the rate they’re going they are likely to subsidise a full club list..

 

[King Elvis]

Also paying out Pyke, Camporeale and Burton.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Also paying out Pyke, Camporeale and Burton.

If those blokes had any sense of human decency, they would return those golden handshake payments to the AFC, given their undeniable involvement in that infamous camp.

At least Don Pyke seemingly has shown some signs of public contrition/remorse, but none from Campo and ESP Burton, the main instigator of it all.

It doesn't seem fair that the supporters and players of the AFC will suffer for years for the mistakes of the likes of that trio mentioned, who have been paid off handsomely.

No justice really.
