Crows 2016

[hawks21]

I couldn't see any of the game on the weekend...a lot of journos saying how bad GWS were rather than how well Adelaide played.
Anyone got a write up of the game they can share?

I think Adelaide were pretty good, I think GWS weren't at their best and some, if not most of that, can be attributed to Adelaide.

Talia wore Cameron like a glove and Patton was moved into defence to stem the flow leaving either Hartigan or Cheney lose, neither of them had great games and both made a couple of blues but ultimately Adelaides start and the function of the forward line meant GWS had to give up something forward of the ball and that was Patton. They had one target ( Cameron ) once that move was made and Adelaide just bounced off half back as they do.

Adelaide also worked very hard at the contest to not allow GWS to spoon it out to their runners, when they did they scored but in the main Adelaide either made a secondary stoppage or put heat on the second receiver for GWS out of the stoppage.

Adelaide were good, GWS not at their best I don't think. Once again, more to do with Adelaide stopping them than just having a poor game.

Watched the replay last night and couldn’t agree more. GWS weren’t allowed to run and carry and use the ball well as they were under pressure for most of the game. The Crows hunted the ball and the man and smashed GWS around the contest for majority of the night. This was there the first few rounds but then went missing against the Dogs and Geelong.
Thompson, Lyons, Walker, Betts, Talia, Cheney all playing huge games. Cameron and Atkins impressive again! While McGovern and Jenkins didn’t hit the scoreboard they created contests and set up some valuable goals!

Still plenty of improvement to be had though, some of our forward entries were poor and our finishing off poor also. Should have put them away a lot earlier than the 3rd quarter! But good to bounce back against an inform side!

Laird to come back in this week for Van Berlo you would think. Don’t think there will be any more changes.

Be good to see Laird back this week. We have missed him a lot since he has been out.

I had Adelaide down for a loss on the weekend, happy to be wrong.

Looking forward to the game this week but really looking forward to the way we handle the trip West in 3 weeks after the bye with Pyke taking on WCE with his knowledge of them.

Cracking goal .. Hate it when people put these clips up. Go in to check out one goal but spend the next hour watching the rest of it

[Booney]

After watching that goal I thought "Gee, good line up for North"....I had to stick out the rest of the wrap up to see how well they went that year. Didn't turn out very well!

[Booney]

So it seems Adelaide actually recorded a $1.2m loss for 2015, however this is contrary to reports that they posted a $1.49m profit last year.

Been kept fairly quiet.

Triggy never handed back his set of keys?

I don't intend on being disrespectful. How would have Phil Walshes contract have been paid after his passing? Is there costs around that that would be considered a write off as such?

[Grahaml]

Depends on how you represent your figures. Sometimes they take into account depreciation of assets, sometimes they don't. Either way though, the Crows are not as wealthy as they were traditionally and definitely not as well off as the AFL would like to think. Seems the costs of running an AFL club keep going up but the revenue at least in SA isn't keeping up.

The way it was 84 was much better viewing.

Ouch.
The Crows have had a license to print money since their inception so that report would be a little concerning

[bennymacca]

Looks like it's mostly due to depreciation of assets. The footy operations made a big profit and 5 million more than the year before.

Not really sure it is anything to report. You really think rucci et al would have failed to report if it was a terrible outcome?

If we went backwards from 2014 or even stayed the same then that would really have been something to report

Any reason as to why the club announced the $1.2m profit before factoring in depreciation? Is it a timing thing?

Genuine question though, as its been well documented that I know bugger all about this stuff.

[bennymacca]

Yeah not sure to be honest. There are always different ways to slice the pie in these circumstances, and beyond reading a balance sheet I don't know enough to comment

[Booney]

I think the term used most is "the bottom line".
