The bumping of this thread is like remembering that time you shagged that skanky bird in a drunken stupor and caught gonorrhea. Cool bump. Well done.

Meh - 05, 06, 09, 12 - thats semi's and up. I won't list elims we should have won. And of course minor round matches lost from winning positions will take bandwidth ( I'm not really sure what bandwidth is)

We have a culture of crumbling under pressure, both in terms of the opposition team and also by way of expectation.

It's horrible to watch, it's been with us for years and I'm not sure when or if it will ever end.

Untrue. I never caught gonorrhoea.

Unfortunately the same can be said for a majority of our SA sides across all codes

It's kind of been year of the Adelaide choke across all sports.
Hopefully that's about to change.

Hmmm any coincidence "sa" is jinxed - Both south australia & south africa...

Seriously how do the saffies batsmen crumble against the Indian bowling line-up at the mcg??!!

Add the Sixers to our loser teams, 10 straight going into finals and out in straight sets. What the **** is wrong with our teams?

 

[hendo8888]

At least the Crows won the Semi that year.
Sixers went out in straight sets. Without even so much as a whimper.

Yes, last night was pathetic. It is part of the SA makeup - to get there is good enough and not take the next step. Blights knew how to deal with it and hopefully so does Walshy. The issue - are the players up for the challenge?

 

[Captain Morgan]

Here is a question.

If Walsh and blights have the similar/ same demeanour / behaviours...

Do we have more talent now that when we did in 97 ?

Yep

Walshy's point: finding out who is INTERESTED in being an AFC player and who is COMMITTED to getting them to where they're going

Interested players choke. Committed players do whatever it takes
