The key to Adelaide will be the ideas of the new coach. Having 1 player already retire at 26 citing a lack of passion is cause for concern.

That was a good read, thanks Grey.

We will know a fair bit about Adelaide early on.

Hawthorn (MCG)
Fremantle (Adelaide)
Bulldogs (Etihad)
Geelong (Adelaide)
So effectively they play 8 of last years top 9 (excluding themsselves) to start their season.
That is a brutal fixture, which does not really give much option to blood new players or rest others.
If they get through that better than 4-4 they will be extremely well placed, however if it goes wrong early for any reason it will be effectively over as far as finals.Life is to be Enjoyed not Endured
