Adelaide lost 5 games last year by less than 2 goals. Young sides are almost always inconsistent. This time of the year everyone looks like they have improved at times.

FWIW I think they will be in the 10-14 bracket.

Agree about Rachele. He looks quite comfortable already, but like most young blokes, a season against men will take it's toll.


Walker won 2 off his own boot too. Forward half, in fact the key forwards, are a long way off. Fogarty, Frampton, Himmelberg, Walker, besides Thilthorpe none of them are the answer going into 2023.


Tex was sensational against the Cats the bastard. Booting goals from everywhere. Literally could not miss.

They just have too many of that type of player. Although is like have him into he side in front of Keays, players like Berry have gone past him.

A team looking for an inside ball winner will pick him up. Essendon maybe?

Won’t be us. Already have too many plodders in the midfield that can win the ball

He's only 27, probably not mature enough yet. Give it 3 or 4 years.

So Eddie's book is coming out tomorrow. What are we expecting over and above what we know now about the camp?

I'm expecting him to elaborate on the offensive things the camp did in relation to offending first nations artefacts/traditions etc and also talk about the private things that were brought up by collective minds that were not permitted by the players.

If nothing more than that, I'm guessing the narrative in the media would be that Eddie was gagged by the lawyers.

Cant imagine there is anything too explosive in the book.

I don't know how it works but gut feel is if Betts was using the camp drama to make some dollars he would have got a lot more from an explosive tell all interview via the tv networks.

I think the book will just have a bit more depth into the issues we already know about eg the first nation offences.
