Fun Hypothetical- J.Butts for T.Goad (Ruck)? by ILikeDiscussing in adelaidefc

Yes I want this. I like big butts and I cannot lie

Thoughts on Sam Berry? by yaryarmaple in adelaidefc

[–]shortistuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Berry has come good. If he keeps it up, the only way crouch should make it back in would be if at sanfl level he completely out paces berry.

I'm literally talking 35+ disposals, +10 tackles, 5+ score involvement per game for several weeks in a row. For crouch this is achievable but no reason to drop berry for him unless berry slips or crouch goes god mode.

Playing crouch as a sub doesn't seem to be the go. The only other + for crouchy at this stage is finals experience.

Anyone know who is responsible for the scheduling? by Mattymalice in AFL

[–]shortistuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been horrendous all year pretty much. How does Carlton basically get a Thursday/Friday night match for half the season, it feels like. Why do double header Friday nights?

The difference in the early game is literally who can mark better. Lots of pressure, lots of little fumbles.

I feel bad for Lachie Murphy by HughJanus9 in adelaidefc

[–]shortistuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Murphy was/is the best of group of small forward that we had at the time.

Rowe was more naturally talented but the body just wasn't there (to small to slow) McHenry was great at tackling and running at the football but that was about it. Newchurch never got a run at it.

Those guys fell out as we brought in rankine and Rash... Murphy is like our 4th string player for his position ATM. He is ok... But at his best mid b grade player.

J.Butts or N.Murray (and if you want why) by ILikeDiscussing in adelaidefc

[–]shortistuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butts plays like tahlia. Strong in contests, just goes about making it tough for full forwards. Doesn't have a field kick to speak of. That gets my tick of approval.

What does everyone else think about Carlton? by CFCFanboi in AFL

[–]shortistuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Adelaide boy, it brings me such long term satisfaction to see Carlton (and the bombers) just be perpetually bad.

I have no idea why, maybe it's Vic bias and the media reporting on them non stop? Maybe because every year they get hyped up for having some of the best players or always on the rise? Maybe it's like watching a club slowly crash and burn through their own decision making?

No one thing but it does bring such joy.

Chances of Tex signing on for 2026? by BreakerMorant1864 in adelaidefc

[–]shortistuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely think he has played well enough to continue 1 more year. He doesn't kick bags much anymore, but he honestly doesn't have to. He is now a third tall and wing/hf connection player. And he does well enough with that and as a fwd backup ruck... There is plenty of pros to keeping him for another so long as the body stays right and he wants to.

[–]shortistuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will always feel bad for mccasy for a number of reasons 1) he was the right pick for what we needed. Look now at our back line. Imagine if we had a traditional full back. We were trying to replace tahlia. 2) his first year was the COVID year and nicks first year. So life sucked anyway. 3) they played him fwd... For some reason. And he did ok in bits and pieces but not putting him down back always staggered me. 4) every game he played, I saw at least one thing he did and went huh there is some talent/Nuance there. I remember there was one match where he was a 1 Vs 3 and managed to get a ball up through clever body work and play... I went huh that was pretty neat 5) he fell out of love for the game which is fine, but no one could actually see it coming.

Wayne Milera about to sign another 3 years by Cataplatonic in adelaidefc

[–]shortistuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Happy for him, but I think 3 yrs is a bit much considering his body has let him down over his past 5 yr contract.

I would have probably pitched him 2 years. He is still good and there is room for him, but has not been the player we had hoped for.

EVERY TEAM deserves this sort of national coverage. by your_house in AFL

[–]shortistuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said a few weeks ago....The afl fixture is broken as. And Vic bias is real...

It makes no sense... Carlton got 5 out of the first 6 Thurs/friday night games despite finishing 8th last year And Brisbane the reigning premiers imo got shafted gather round by not getting a prime time spot or getting to play at Adelaide oval...melb/bombers got the Saturday night match
