We're one official home game into the 2024 season. Our season is over. I have two memberships to attend our home games. I do not want them. No one seems to these days. I can't give tickets away. Can anyone think of any reason any a person would attend a game played by this group of pathetic...

The Hindenberg The Titanic Tiger Woods's polygamy The Austrian army fighting the battle of Karansebes against itself Chernobyl

Everyone at the club has been very clear: they did very well last year and this year is bringing in the bacon. How are you celebrating the wonderful success of our club, which doesn't ever need to ever present itself in results. Extensions all-around!!!

The club has, yet again, drank its own bathwater gotten ahead of itself and yet again delivered humiliation to its supporters. An awful team with no improvement in the coach's fourth year, and yet we got a bunch of hype from them after winning pre-season games. Apparently its time to win...

Ok gang, we know we've been playing the long game. Conventional wisdom would have suggested you should improve your midfield after 2018, but not our club. We know better. We know that the only thing that really matters is experience, continuity, and the sort of statistical excellence that can...

It seems every other month we as supporters get to grit our teeth as our former favourite son and now disgraced self defeating board member tarnishes the name and public reputation of our club. Examples include: 1) Insulting our fans and members by demanding they support another club if they...

The more I think about it, the more I think that we're overlooking the best narrative from this year. We're looking too much at our club's constant and repeat failures- the big losses, the failures, being a historical embarrassment. We're missing something special. For too long the fairy-tale...

I have these vivid memories as a youth of laughing at those loser clubs who had massive premiership droughts. Sneering at the likes of Sydney, Geelong, the Western Bulldogs, Richmond. Imagine following a club like that, I thought. Then they all overtook us. Ouchy. Our premiership-losing streak...

Looked a bad hire when it was made, nothing in the results to make us think different now. The team doesnt look like they are capable of scoring if they were left alone on the field. Seems likely to set a non-expansion club AFL record for goalless quarters. So, how about it? Will get fired...

Has a club ever had a worse trade period? Countless assets lost, including valuable assets, only Frampton worth anything in return.

The thread title says it all. And it's true. I've been a member for over a decade. I've missed one home game in 13 or so years, I've never missed one at Adelaide Oval. And when I ask myself why I should go to the St Kilda game, I cannot think of a single reason. This is not a club that...

The club started the year believing we were contenders for a flag. They were wrong. Who should resign tomorrow?

I've been thinking about this a bit this week, and the more I think about it the more I'm sold on this idea. We'll find out a lot about our team this week. I think we'll find out whether we're legit. Not so much in terms of winning or losing- winning won't answer all questions because of how...

Legitimate question. With our current form, and our inability to secure wins against even the worst teams in the league, are you confident that we'll get the three remaining wins that we might need? I think there's a very real chance that we miss. We're 3-4 over our last 7, and none of those...

Umpiring coach Hayden Kennedy was on 5aa this evening. He clearly agreed that a kick occurs on contact, rather than any additional requirement for the ball to have left the leg below the knee. Firstly, that hopefully puts the claim that there's always been some additional requirement to rest...

Sorry if I've missed something on this. We re-upping?

van Berlo for captain coach.

After watching last night's game again, I've come to a conclusion- if he can avoid a recurrence of his injury Taylor Walker should be the next permanent captain of our club. He's already the spiritual leader of the playing group. You could see that they all walk taller with him out there. The...

Taken from another thread, in the over optimistic hope that it was purely the context that made people unable to discuss it. Part of my interest in the topic is a bit of cognitive dissonance that I've experienced recently when re-thinking the reign of Roo. See, Roo has long been the guy I...

http://www.afc.com.au/news/2013-09-06/crouch-commits-until-2016 Fantastic news. Re-signing this guy had to be our first priority. His performance is already close to elite, scary potential.

Dedicated to the 'we could find any old hack to kick 40 goals a season' crowd during the Tippett saga, this thread is dedicated to people's predictions of who will now win our goal kicking award, and the amount of goals they will kick for the year. My prediction: Taylor Walker, 10. Who you got?

Been sitting here pondering the impact of the Sydney concessions. The initial reaction is to say that Sydney should be stripped of their concessions. Whilst that pulls them back to the pack a bit it doesnt address what is becomming a fundamental issue towards our football operations... We are...

Our inaugral coach was inducted to the HOF tonight. I know it wasnt predominantly for his work at our club, but its nice enough to be associated with another hall of famer. We're had a suprising amount of hall of famers work at our club in our relatively short history. Anyway, congratulations...

Being reported on the main board, sourced from 3AW I believe. Discuss. Edit: Being discussed in another thread.

Read an interesting quote from the great man, our inspirational leader, the Nathan van Berlo. http://www.afc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4417/newsid/136020/default.aspx Now this is topical on this board for two reasons. Firstly, does it endorse Carl's position long stated that we should...

http://www.afc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4417/newsid/127412/default.aspx So apparently Richard is the best boxer at the club. Not sure I would have predicted that. I reckon he'll fit in well with the tougher approach to football we're running.

Well, its around mid season, so we may as well start discussing this. Obviously Aaron Rodgers is the clear favourite to win the MVP with the ridiculous season hes been having. Who would be your number two? My predictions so far: MVP: Rodgers OPOTY: Lesean McCoy DPOTY: Jarred Allen ROTY...

http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2011/8/17/2369620/nfl-kind-of-forced-michael-vick-to-sign-with-eagles The conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this one. Is this really the role of the commissioner? It was probably the right thing for Vick personally in hindsight, but I...

As far as rules go: You'll have 12 hours on the clock to make your pick. If you fail to pick within that time, the next person will be allowed to pick and so on. If 6 picks pass, and you still havent picked, your selection will be autopicked. You will NOT be able to exchange this autopick...

As reported on 5aa. Apparently Craig came out and ordered a highly competitive session of training on thursday. The result: Tambling, Henderson, Walker all injured at training. (Stevens also out, not sure if thats related). My first reaction is: What the ****....
