Adelaide's decline

[Schism]

Ricciuto has the brain power of a soggy potato chip, he's the Trump of the AFC. It's glorious to behold.

Is there any talk in Adelaide of him doing the right thing ?

 

[BACCS]

Carn. The local media cup Adelaide's balls constantly. You blaming the local media for player retention issues is laughable.

How is part 7 of “Media Shakes Head” going on the Port board?

 

[BACCS]

Exactly, its pretty much the opposite - they talk up new prospects to such a degree that the chance they meet those expectations is very slim.

In recent years they have compared guys to the best players in the comp and every indigenous player is the next McLeod or the next Goodes.

It was only a month or so ago they were comparing Fogarty to Modra. Its really setting them up to fail.

They do it for Port players as well. What about when Powell-Pepper was the best young talent in the AFL? It doesn’t help either club.

I’m actually enjoying the decline

It’s pretty funny actually

Long may it continue

 

[Great8]

The Essendon top up team that supposedly would go through the year winless managed to cobble 3 wins together yet this mob don’t look like getting a win

No, I don't remember. Was that before or after running headlines on him being a sex pest or public footage of him out drinking?

Oh right, yes I didn’t realise it was just Port players that the media blew up stories on, my apologies.

Those wins came later in the season didn’t they? It’s either very early or very late in the season that wooden spoon teams seem to get wins. We have lost two of our games by a combined 5 points, so the chances have been there for a win.

Powell-Pepper and Fogarty are both talented knuckle heads.

 

[Rotayjay]

Many supporters thought that Damien Hardwick and Nathan Buckley were duds who had to go.

But a question for Richmond and Collingwood supporters: surely Hardwick and Buckley never looked as out of their depth as Nicks has? Nicks has shown nothing.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Powell-Pepper and Fogarty are both talented knuckle heads.

Why is Fog a knuckle head?

I don't recall him assaulting women...

Indeed, we are worse.

Better give us a priority pick.

I'm looking forward to a new 3 year coaching deal for Hinkley...

Who have you beaten of note?

Who have you beaten of note?

A few more teams than your bunch of spuds.

 

[Gordon Farkas]

Ricciuto has the brain power of a soggy potato chip, he's the Trump of the AFC.

Trump's book was called "The art of the deal". I don't think Ricciuto could ever be associated with either the word "art" or the word "deal".

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A few more teams than your bunch of spuds.

Who would have thought given we have zero wins.

So I gather you won't answer, because you haven't beaten anyone of real note.

They have an English cricket media feel to them. If they win, they are the greatest team ever, but they will cut them down the second they fail. It means the players get ahead of themselves quickly, dumps a ton of pressure on them, and makes it harder to fight their way out when things aren't going to plan.

 

[Duckenthusiast]

Why is Fog a knuckle head?

I don't recall him assaulting women...

Yeah, but we didn't sack a coach in part for their relationships with women.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What does this have to do with Fogarty?

Btw, that hasn't been the reason we have sacked any of our coaches.

Any chance you can stay on topic...

It absolutely is and if you want to take potshots at other club's players don't have a sook when the shoe is on the other foot.

So you think it's ok to make up pure BS to respond to facts & go off topic...

Another poster I won't bother wasting time with.

I'm devastated. Came directly from a former player. Stones, glass houses and all.

Round 9 finished and 3 games clear at the bottom.
