From memory we haven't been all that impressive down in Tassie in the past have we?

I would like us to keep him too but not if it meant losing one of the other two.
I also think Walker is gradually developing into a better bet for FF than Tippett.


Just celebrating my insights from 2013...
I couldn't find the later post where when Dangerfield was conjectured to be leaving the Crows soon that I said Sloane was the one I'd most want to keep.

I think they'll lose two minor round games, and they'll be games they should've won.

I find it dumb that they play GWS in round 1 but not again.

Their window is as open as it could be, even then curtains have been tied back.

So by that theory, they should win every game?

Yep, Geelong away will be challenging and they'll probably be able to rest a few players against West Coast in the last round.


There is no reason why they can't go through undefeated.

Injuries alone could easily stop them going underfeated, people already engraving Adelaide’s name on the cup and handing Sloane the Brownlow

They had no Walker for a week, no Jenkins with a wet fart for 3, McGovern is out....they've had some missing and their depth, to date, has stood up.

I agree, they have the best middle tier players in the comp.

A plethora of on-ballers, it would take a bubonic plague to sweep through the camp to have a big affect.

Having said that, it was going to be interesting to see how they went without Talia, he would be the most challenging player for them to replace.

I think we can cover Talia for a short period but Jacobs is the one that we need to stay sound. ROB will need to get a run through the season though to give Jacobs a rest.

I would suggest Adelaide is likely to do this when they come up against some f the lower rabked sides. I would be expecting him to get rest when they come up against Brisbane or Carlton.

Good onballers can feed off an opposition ruckman, although Jacobs' work rate around the ground is excellent, I'd say Jenkins could go in the middle and still give you guys a very potent forward line.

Talia just doesn't play bad games and is rarely beaten, you're backline has been great this season but he's the general down there and takes a lot of pressure from the other tall defenders.

Lever can relieve Talia if necessary, still have Seedsman and Cheney to slit back in there too (maybe)

I would not count on either Seedsman or Cheney. They've been injured since forever.
