All I ask is that the game isn't televised, so I don't have to watch it. Mind you, it'll be bad enough just hearing it on the radio.

Add all the massacres over the last decade and multiply it by 10.

Was it 94 or 96 points a couple of years back?
= 940 or 960. That's 156 goals +
Crikey !!!

That's about right. No Gumbleton or Stanton next week to add to the 15 others on the sidelines....

If the AFL introduced a rule where Adelaide weren't allowed to kick forwards we would still lose

C'mon fellas - where's the optimism?

This could very well be our 'Bizzaro Season'

Get flogged at the Dome and win everything before us interstate!

BTW - what club holds the record for percentage decline over a 3 week period?
This title will be ours by next weekend.

Hopefully they will have a few out to even it up a bit. Namely Jacobs and Thompson.

I think the TRB should come up with an innovative idea - don't play any recognised ruckmen and let NLM and Colyer pinch hit in the ruck. That way we will have more mobility around the contests.

Bomba said today that Crameri could have played but their confidence in selecting players that are on the edge had been shaken and went the safe option to help make sure our better players are playing towards the end of the year

They are going to want to put in a good one after being beaten this week and Tippet might be back, goodee.

I'm going to the pub to watch.

Not going to re-invest the money you lost on us vs the Hawks? :wink:

If nothing else, we need height on the forward line.

Carlisle could go forward and Pears cover him in the backline for a start. Also pray that we get at least one key forward back this week.

Colyer for Davey who seems to have hit a brick wall again is another change.

Lonergan and Colyer have to come in before someone like Merrett gets a crack.
