Better draft pick
Phillipous gradual evolution into a genuine match winner.
Sharman providing the forward effort we have lacked all year
Normal gun performances from Milera, Marshall and Steele
Obvious class of Clark


Lacked a bit of luck. Dry game and we win imo.

Clear realisation that some players are just not up to it will be moved on

Will we see a master-class in tanking
Currently with pick 4 which RtB and co would be more than happy with plus potential Battle compensation.
Two very winnable games to go whilst the Crows have a harder draw .
Who will win the race

WTF? No umpires are cheating and taking the piss as Bonner clearly didn’t touch the ball or deliberately knock it over the line for Adelaide’s first gift goal?

I’m concerned, can anyone who knows Curly conduct a welfare check or alert authorities to do so.

This is highly unusual and suspicious behavior (or lack of). I hope you’re ok Curly ❤️

Sharman for a fraction of the cost of Winks
Who is Winks, the horse that refuses to run and chase, never lays a tackle, that for those on less pay.
Wants to stand in the goal square and catch the ball.
Can't kick goals from any further out because he refuses to watch the ball drop to his foot.
Trade him for whatever picks you can get.

Love the improvement in Phillipou.
Can now call him by his full name

The big positive = forced Adelaide above St Kilda on the ladder.
Lets not get carried away with winning.
Close enough is good enough.
If Hawthorn steals Battle for mid 1st round compensation then St Kilda get double value for finishing low on the ladder.

Keep playing Membrey, sadly he has forgotten how to contribute.

Philippou backing up his game against the Swans with clean hands and hardness in the tough conditions.

Showing some very good signs the young lad after a very lean tough period that would have been very frustrating for someone of such talent.

Hopefully this is the coming of age of Phillipou as a player.

Positives- the game ended and saved us any more embarrassment. Pou doing well though.

Pou can beat his chest and rally the troops, has passion in spades , would like to see the captain be similar and kick a goal or 2.

A number of exit interviews are going to be harsh for the interviewees. Ross is cross.
Next year is going to be fun watching all the new players in new positions. May not mean a winning season but at least not another losing season with same old same old. Hope it starts from next week.
Shake up in assistants coming?
Another game closer to beating an Adelaide side (just kidding, its a law of nature that we can't win in Adelaide v an Adelaide side).

Watching Sharman getting in the votes reminds of a certain poster on here claiming that he is always ahead of the curve and that cooper is not upto AFL standard .. :lol:

The main positive is that we are maintaining our position for a good picK
