Sloane to be single captain next year, the Crows lack genuine leaders. Big issue here for mine.

When the going gets tough they go missing time and time again.

Can’t include Jenkins as he’s a genuine spud.


Love how upset you get over the Crows... they own your headspace lol

Walker needs to go back to being an inside 50 FF like he was until Tippett left. He is a good hit up player and one on one is rarely beaten- He’s lost that ability to be agile around the ground and the game has changed. Soon as it becomes congested or in packs he struggles. The CHF area of the crows is becoming too predictable and needs to be mixed up.

Chase Jones looks a beauty and even though he was quiet last night he still had 4 cracks at the sticks- Even though 1 was handed to him and he stuffed it by kicking it off the synthetic plate.

Not arguing your point from last night mate but Sydney were shithouse. Carey’s right when he says if Adelaide had even a semi functioning forward line then Sydney would have been smashed. Reckon you have bigger issues than worrying about umpires.

Football in South Australia will share a $21 million funding boost from the federal government, with most of the cash going to the Adelaide Crows AFL club.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the government would provide $15 million to support the development of a new home for the Crows in the city centre.

The remaining $6 million will be spent on redeveloping the suburban Thebarton Oval into a multi-purpose sporting facility.

"Today's announcement is about investing in infrastructure that supports community participation in sport and football across all age levels and abilities," the treasurer said.

The cash will help the Crows build a new administration and training centre, most likely adjacent to the existing Adelaide Aquatic Centre.

It will also support a high-performance facility for the Adelaide Crows women's team and a talent identification academy for female athletes.

At Thebarton Oval, new training and high-performance facilities will be built along with a new covered grandstand and upgrades to lighting and car parking.

South Australian Senator Simon Birmingham said the government's investment would support better local sporting and recreational facilities, including the potential redevelopment of the aquatic centre, as well as training facilities for women's football and a new indigenous academy.

"Women's footy has inspired new generations of girls with a message of both fitness and equality," he said.

"This vital funding will not only help to deliver two world-class facilities but will also allow for the delivery of numerous youth development, talent identification and wellbeing programs."

Adelaide Crows chief executive Andrew Fagan said the funding was a significant step in the development of the club's masterplan for a new inner-city headquarters.

"It provides the club with the ability to establish a state-of-the-art training and administration facility in proximity to Adelaide Oval," Mr Fagan said.

Jacobs in doubt for Thursday night's clash with Geelong, didn't participate in today's main session, walked laps and jogged short distances.

Even with Jacobs, it's advantage Geelong.

If I was Don Pyke, should Jacobs miss, i'd be running with Jenkins as first ruck. Adelaide looked a completely different side against Sydney with him in the middle. Worth trialling again, IMO.

Jacobs and Eddie have both been fantastic players but they both appear almost done.
Appear to be struggling to keep up these days.
Both had ordinary years by their standards last year too.

Adelaide will need to make a call on Jacobs sooner rather than later you would think.

He had his issues last year on and off field that, coupled with his previous 5 or so years, can be forgiven, but when you look at the top ruckmen in the competition in Grundy, Gawn, Ryder, Naitanui, Martin, Lycett he's a long way off the form some of them have shown in the last 18-24 months and given he's about to turn 31 you would think he's unlikely to find his best form again.

At 23 O'Brien looks ready for an opportunity at the top level, at least to see if he can cut it, Hunter, in his 4th year on the list appears unlikely to get a run at that level and last years rookie draft bolter Strachan, also 23, looks to be a low cost insurance policy.

Betts is still clever and will end the year with 30 or more goals, he missed Cameron's pressure last year and he'd be hoping Murphy and Jones lock themselves in the side offering that forward pressure so Betts can be creative.

Not saying they would be successful, but you'd have to think Adelaide are lining up a big play for B Grundy?

Kind of see Jacobs now as where Lobbe was a couple years ago, the competition just seems to catch up to them overnight.

Shame, I hope he finishes out the year with some form, he's been massive for the Cows for a long time.
