We just got pumped by an undermanned, out of form st kilda who half-hearted a 92 point win over us.

Adelaide just came off a shock loss to Richmond and will be fired up.

It's at AAMI.

We've been alright in Adelaide in recent years (relatively speaking), but I can't see us getting within 10 goals.


I'm just hoping Fev stays up around the top of the Coleman count. He deserves some sort of acknowledgement for his efforts this year.

Thoughts/Doomsday theories?

Might be a good time to take the wife and kids out for a Sat afternoon picnic, wash the car or mow the lawn! Going to be a big ask, will need to do a 'teflon terry' special to have any chance!!!

I think it's on Fox Footy so if you don't have that you won't see it anyway.

I've got Fox Footy but one of those documentaries on the History Channel about the Spanish Inquisition might be a little les gruesome!!

Yes , think about it....Were going to Adelaide, there coming off a lose, could be ugly! They are going to get the four points, let's face it, perhaps this way we could save some percentage. But look at the big picture, Bryce Gibbs and his family will be at the game, if we serve up the kind of crap we did Sunday the Gibb's might make him stand out of football for 12 months, in case we get him!..... :)

That's the biggest flood of them all.

Hmmmmm why deliberately misquote ? I said to give them time, play them in different roles, rotate them abit? Give Kennedy some time in the goal square, see if he can find some space there. Give Murphy some time at this feet. Give Blackwell some time in the middle. TIME TIME TIME.

But the great news is BEN HART IS OUT!!!!

Well I 'd say it is pretty safe to say we are going to cop a belting this week from the Crows .

Believe it or not this game doesnt concern me its the one after that which is the biggest worry we are probably going to play Port after just being beaten by Essendon* , and in front of 10000 fans at the Dome and we will probably get smashed like they did to us in the practice game

this year is starting to scare me like no other year

I would do something innovative for the Adelaide game and play a kid like Jake Edwards....while he has been playing Ressies for the Bullants his form has been good and its time to turn to youth in a big way and test the waters with some of these kids...

I wouldnt have minded seeing a rookie promoted either and would almost give Waite the 8-10 weeks LTI rest or whateva is needed to promote one of the likes of Flint, Jackson, Batson, Smith,Aisake and get some games under their belt..Jackson has been starring in the ressies and should be playing seniors for the Bullants..we really need a lift in the onball divison and some players who have decent disposal skills.....he is one I would like to see tested at a higher level.

I dont advocate kids on mass every week but slowly introduce them and give them all a taste......you never know you may score a decent player like Adelaide did when they pushed up Mattner, Rutten etc....
Or we could go back to rotating Teague,Sporn, Prenda and Chambers etc....thats not developing players that rearranging chairs on the Titanic
Lets get positives happening and find some players for the future....
