Let's face it. We won 3 and should have been at least 5 (Pies and Godees). If we don't win 7 or 8 then it's been a disappointing year. I see 7 as par for us.

I reckon 7-8 should be bare minimum target with our fixture and a decent injury run.

Probably what I am saying. We have recruited experience - need results. Not negotiable.

Yep.

Even though a guy like Darling has been clearly at the back end I think people underestimate how compromised we were structurally this year with our list. We made Pink - who was a hail mary - and Teakle, our mid season pick essentially core parts of our structure to play out the year and played better.

 

[Devington]

Just get the kids some experience at actually winning, please for the love of god. We will ruin half of them if we don't. It's my greatest fear.

 

[DunderHead]

we look balanced with good depth, not experienced depth, to have competition for spots all across the ground. I think we can win 8 games next year.

An early upset win against the Dogs or Dees would be a real boost for all the players and could be the catalyst for an improved season. It's a reasonably difficult start to the season with Adelaide at Adelaide Oval and Gold Coast at the Wineries probably our two "easiest" games in the first seven rounds. I'd hate to be 0-7 going into the game against the Bombers.

I have a bad feeling that Adelaide are going to shoot up to being finalists next year, potentially even top four. Just a vibes-based reading. Regardless, knocking them off at Adelaide Oval would be a milestone win for us lol

The Dees at Marvel sound very vulnerable.

We have to be on the up or we are going to be the worst performing team in the history of the AFL.

All these changes (Clarko) has then been a waste also.

We would have to reset again

Over the journey I'm not one to doom and gloom about the club dying (in one form or another), and other than being pissed at the media talk about it damaging our brand I've actually been pretty dismissive of the idea. But Clarko getting the arse and us resetting AGAIN? AFL house will make moves to seize control of the situation one way or another.

Well, it would be clear that the board would be out on its arse in a flash.

Yeah it would be a ****ing disaster tbh

That's why Its time to start climbing up the ladder. Enough is enough

Last win at Adelaide Oval - 2006?

Never won at A.O. Last win in S.A. was '11 or '12 v Tarps at Footy Park

 

[Black Diamond]

Didn’t we beat Adelaide there in 2020?

Edit: No, that was Metricon.

Oh no doubt in my mind they do now. Cumming, Neal bullen, Draper and peatling are all upgrades on the shit trucks they had like Murphy, jones, McHenry et al
