Should've done this review mid season like Richmond and Collingwood.

Turns out the main problems were Burton and Campo, like you couldn't just get that from random people on the street a year ago.

Hardwick and Buckley both had similar issues to Pyke. Those clubs chose to surround their man with good help and educate him on what the players needed.

We chose to do nothing and hang our man out to dry until he ended his own career.

Now we'll get the absolute dregs after everyone else has already sieved through them.

Teague would have been awesome

I for one am still holding out a glimmer of hope that Roo and the team go really bold and appoint Mattner
Is Roo going to stand down I wonder?

He hitched his wagon to the Birdman.
 
Oh I'm not saying that Nicks wouldn't ... or that others would.

I think the perception is that Nicks would be closer to Craig than Blight. That's all.
Over 10 years at a club known for it's "Bloods" team culture? I don't think so...
 
I apologise for having no faith in the decision makers of the club. I should definitely have known better.
My attitude towards Adelaide and footy in general is probably from a different perspective to most or to some. Not sure how old you are but I’m nudging 50....wait, what?
Anyway, I grew up with a totally different era of footy.

Now the team most important to me, Sturt hardly gets any air time nor does the comp. A player could root the coaches’ wife...hi Graham, and it’d barely get a mention, I’d barely know about it and it’d barely affect my week or my enjoyment of the next game.
It’s easy, no gossip, no Victorian media beat up bullshit, just footy.

The AFL is a rampant, mutant beast. It’s a black hole that can and will suck everything in and devour it, other competitions, players, coaches, supporters and peoples hard earned.

Due to my football allegiances I’m slightly removed from the heart wrenching, fly by wire buy in to the AFL and Adelaide. I often think about this, compare the two and ask where and why I enjoy footy and what part of it I enjoy, what I don’t and what I detest and most, nearly all of the stuff I don’t like or detest involves the AFL. For me, the SANFL provides the simple, basic things I want from footy and following a club.

So I don’t blame anyone for getting sucked into the AFL succubus and becoming embittered with it. It’s what it does......bit like the USA and Trump, but that’s another discussion.

Self interest continues to rule. Wasn’t only Roo that hitched to the Burto wagon, there were others. They’ve all managed to unhitch without resistance though. It’s almost like the trailer was stolen at the last fuel stop and nobody noticed.

Missus and I are joining North Adelaide FC, if they’ll have us. I’m nearly completely done with the AFC. It’s not the league to me, it’s our club. That’s where the problems start and stop in my view.
