Might be wishful thinking there. AFL clubs are insular boys clubs as it it, I hate to think how bad it would be in a town like Adelaide that is insular as gently caress on top of that.

The following ex-Adelaide players are currently employed in coaching or administrative roles: Rod Jameson and Mark Ricciuto - 25% of the board Nigel Smart - COO Brett Burton - Head of Football Ben Hart - Defence coach Matthew Clarke - Ruck coach Brent Reilly - Development coach Good luck getting accountability from that lot. Side note, I also noticed when looking at the crows website that the board member who got rich selling weapons to terrorists had that part of his CV omitted from his profile.

It's his idea for reducing congestion, and his justification is that it will create just enough fatigue to make players seriously consider whether they actually can run to every stoppage, and still be able to run somewhere else as well.

I like how many people complain about poor skills and fundamentals and that clubs should start drafting footballers instead of distance runners, and then also say we should cripple the bench to the point where only loving ironmen will be able to run out a game (and be too tired to kick it properly by half time anyway)

A team of players only staying within their lines because they don't have the fitness to run all game and kicking it to open one on one contests sounds an awful lot like  the way it used to be played when football was good

The idea that we can make the game so tiring that clubs will just give up and get their guys to stand still is a fantasy. You’ll get the opposite outcome and skills within individual games will drop even further because everyone’s so loving tired. Short of instituting a mandatory smoko and tinnie break I don’t see how they actually expect this to work

I mean it's not like the AFL executives and the rules of the game committee have been repeatedly and excessively outsmarted by the coaching staff of AFL clubs every time they've tried to use a poo poo rule change to drive a corporate agenda, surely it'll work this time guys

The ridiculous notion that coaches will simply accept that their players are too fatigued to run to a contest shits me to no end. There is no practical way it can possibly work. Can you imagine it? When it first happens, the teams which happen to be fitter than the others will end up outnumbering their opponents at every contest, and we'll see some absolute floggings. Then coaches will stop playing players who aren't fit enough to keep doing it without breaks. In the meantime, we'll see players pushing themselves beyond the brink of exhaustion, say hello to a bunch of soft tissue injuries. Meanwhile players are getting flogged harder and harder on the track because, sorry guys, you need to run the same distance with less breaks from now on, got to get fitter! Eventually we'll stop recruiting genuine footballers at all and just recruit endurance runners. You simply cannot prevent a successful tactic by exhausting people too much to carry it out. That doesn't ever work. All it does is lower the quality of play because everyone's loving exhausted.

Jesus Christ, the Saints have selected David Armitage this week while also playing Steele and Dunstan. Can't wait for one of those inside midfielders get 10 disposals as a half forward because there's no way we can play all 3 in a role they are actually suited to. I hope we lose the Suns so Richo and all the coaches get the sack cause they are loving idiots.

They just said on Foxfooty that the Crows plan on keeping the Collective Minds program running as they can see the value in it. Sounds like a good idea, but I'd also suggest that they bring in another wheel to make sure no playing escapes severe physical trauma to go with their mental trauma.

Mclean puts his head over the ball, gets front on contact on the top of his loving head at speed from the oncoming port player, and it’s a free to port Okay
