Finals Week 1

[woodublieve12]

Crows will win with or without Sloane. Too good
It's their flag to lose.

[Booney]

Who thinks Sloane plays and if he doesn't does it hurt Adelaide's chances enough for GWS to be in it?

Don't think Slone plays.

If GWS play the best football they're capable of they are in any game any where they play. For mine GWS's best football is better than everyone else's you just rarely see it.

I think Adelaide's best, most attacking football is the best in the competition but as evidenced by their losses to Melbourne, North and Hawthorn when they go to sleep they hit the snooze button over and over.

Still, their flag to lose.

[MW]

Crows flag to lose.

[Brodlach]

I think he plays, was only one stitch

Bit of padding around his midriff and he will be fine

[bennymacca]

I reckon they will roll the dice with him. If its only pain (i.e he cant do any further damage) he will play

[Spargo]

I reckon they will roll the dice with him. If its only pain (i.e he cant do any further damage) he will play

You can do further damage though.

You can do further damage though.

To what? A non-existent appendix? It's a one stitch wound. He'll play.

[Brodlach]

Hernia can occur

[Spargo]

Hernia can occur

Correct

[bertiebeatle]

Reading Pyke's comments from this morning, i doubt he is going to play..

[PatowalongaPirate]

Yep, I don't reckon he will play.

did anyone read that article on the AFL website about the Crows. What a load of garbage. Crows surviving and thriving against the odds. Against what odds. Every club goes through what the Crows have with personel. Barrett is a flog

Raided by the new franchises. They lost 1 player each to the Suns and Giants. Bock and Davis. Pretty sure most of the clubs have lost players to the new franchises and other clubs . Look at Hawks they lost Buddy and still won flags.

Adelaide Crows thread :

Very good (and balanced....) article by Barrett.

"One of those captains, albeit an interim one, chose to walk out in a year in which he won a best-and-fairest, and then won a Brownlow at his new club the next year."

Was Dangerfield a captain? Pretty sure Walker took over from Van Berlo, yes?

I put this on the Crows thread...thought it was a very good article. But then again, I don't hate the Crows...

Co-captain with Sloane when VB had the year out with the severed achillies

True.

Every club has gone through personnel changes forced by having their coach killed during the season.

Bock to the Suns, Davis to GWS are the only real losses to the new clubs, the likes of Gunston just wanted out, Vince had to be traded to get picks after the Tippett debacle, Tippett wanted out and not even to go home out, Dangerfield walked out pretty easily considering the Walsh / BnF and what Adelaide look to be building on field.

What i meant was with players leaving. Not with the Phil Walsh death.

Right, so joint acting captain.
