Are you telling me they couldn't of just worn that for the EF last year, It would of taken them 30 seconds to draw up and the Guernsey people did our PB in a few days.
I think their VFL side wore basically the same Guernsey?
I think Gillan has put his foot down and told them that they have to have a clash jumper in future.I hope he talks to a few other Clubs too.

I read this article earlier,Dew and Francou coaching Swans midfield is scary
Mind you, people in Sydney might be saying that Michael Voss coaching Port's midfield is just as scary.

Crows use individual calls to calves

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/...-calls-to-calves/story-fni6ul9j-1227158781911

Adelaide Crow supporters and their calves communicate using calls that are individualised in a similar way to human names, scientists have discovered. Researches found it was possible to identify particular crows supporters and calves from the exclusive sounds they made. The South Australian team spent 10 months studying the ways crow members and supporters talked to their young.

They identified two distinct maternal calls - low sounds when a mother was close to her calf and louder, higher pitched calls when they were out of visual contact, like at a footy game. Calves, in return, called out to their mothers when they wanted a Chardonnay. But the most important finding was that all three calls were individualised - reserved for a particular crow supporters and calf so that each recognised the other at certain sporting events.

Lead scientist Dr Monica Padilla de la Torre, from the University of Adelaide, said the research showed for the first time that mother-offspring crow 'calls' are individualised. "Each calf and crow supporter have a characteristic and exclusive call of their own," Padilla de la Torre said. "Acoustic analysis also reveals that certain information is conveyed within the calf calls - age, but not gender."

The team studied two crow cheer squad supporter groups in West Lakes with recordings made using highly sensitive equipment that gathered enough data to study for a year. Further work may reveal vocal indicators of well-being or distress in crows in footy games, which could influence animal care policies, say the researchers, whose findings appear in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science.

Co-author Dr Alan McElligott, from the Adelaide University, said it is the first time that complex crow calls have been analysed using the latest and best techniques. "Our results provide an excellent foundation for investigating vocal indicators of Adelaide Crow supporters welfare," he said.

I can't really see us looking at free agency next year after examining the current list. Not many SA players of note either. What do people think?

Free agent lists are always a bit misleading. A lot of the players on them are ancient. For instance, both Geelong and North have FA lists of 7 with 5 of them over 30. And there are players like Dustin Fletcher, Brent Harvey, Kane Cornes, Matthew Pavlich, Adam Goodes, Matthew Boyd who would laugh in your face if you suggested they might go to another team. Possibly some of the players on the FA list will not even be playing in 2016.

I would like us to have a look at a defender and Alex Rance looks tempting. But you could expect Richmond to fight tooth and nail for him.
