Did he?

Carl, do you remember that one at all?

I believe this to be correct. Someone certainly gave away the 50, I remember pulling my hair out with stress. Pretty sure it was big Pete.

I think you're right

I think SS is picking on Twodogs as he nearly walked out when it happened.

The explosion in the Ponsford stand was bigger than the one in Hiroshima!

The problem was I could see that Streeta was going to do it, going to do it and then he did it-it was like one of those 'car accident slow motion effect' things. That tirade was building up momentum inside me as I watched Biglands mark, saw Street running in and thought "dont, dont dont be an idiot Streeta" My only regret is that there were so many kids under the age of 10 in the immediate vicinity.

Braydon agreed with you!!!!

There is no way Adelaide will finish last. With a home ground advantage they have, a bad year is just outside the 8.

Backline: Rutten, Bock and Bassett are good bigger guys. Johncock and McLeod give good run and use the ball well. Excellent backline.

Forwardline: Gill can't kick, McGregor's no good and Hentchell has 1 leg. Riscuitto and Welsh have gone. They might not score at all.

Rucks: Oh dear. Griffen and Maric would want to learn quick.

Midfield: Edwards and Goodwin are class, Thompson and Reilly go OK, Van Berlo and Knights might be players with a few more games under their belts. Need to find about half a dozen more.

Can't possibly make the 8.

When do Cooney and Griff come out of contract?

Yes a weak Adelaide isn't great for us. Not that I think these guys will ever want to head home but maybe a Tiller could be a chance.

Not to mention we held them over a barrel with the Hudson trade.

I met one of Adam's friends from HS a while ago, we were both pretty pissed at a mutual mates BDay, and he seemed to be happy to tell me that Adam had told him, he wished to come back to Adelaide.

I somehow doubt that any of the young group will, they have a lot to prove and should realise the potential they have if they stick together. I would bet big money though that Adelaide will try very hard to chase both Cooney and Griff.

Agreed - it would be better that they finish sixth forever.

Bottom four, my two cents tinkles.

Coon, Griff and Tills won't want to leave a winning side, so our best chance of keeping them would be not so much to hope that the Crows become a middling side instead of finishing rock bottom every year (what has become of us? Have we forgotten the pain already? ), but to develop a dynasty here at the Dogs. Not a word thrown around very often with us usually just hoping to sneak into the eight or four or stealing a premiership.. but with the list Rocket and the team are building and the average age there is some serious upside to this football club, and we should not be expecting any less than to give the comp a good shake for the next four to five years.
