He's is a smart footballer, but he gets an armchair ride from teams with "dumb" tactics. Smart coaches ensure they work the footy through their players they know have opponents with certain deficiencies or weaknesses. Even smarter coaches make sure their players deliver the footy to spots where players like Rance aint at or at least isn't likely to get to.
Levi, Harry, Charlie, SoJ, Garlett and even Crippa in spurts....
Should keep the opposition guessing and not allow Rance to roam where ho chooses.....

Te Crows had a major 'off' day in the GF.....

It's the age old question - did the Crows lose it or did the Tigers win it ? I reckon the latter.

Of course it's a mix of both, but Adelaide would smash them 9 times out of 10.
Thw Tigers got lucky, very lucky. Good on them.

So I see that the club has agreed to gate sharing with Nthmond.
I realise we have Liddle on board now, and that Nthmond are cherry ripe so an agreement probably seems apropos.
But on the flip side, it seems odd to me that there was no interest in gate sharing for a decade while we struggled, and now that we appear to be on the right track it's on again! Nthmond, lets not forget they are called Nthmond for a reason, have finished in the top half five or six times since 2009.
Am I too cynical?
Is this a concession from Nthmond that we are heading in the right direction?

I seem to recall the gate sharing agreement was cancelled roughly about the time we got rid of Greg Swann or maybe that was one of his last decisions??

I find it a bit confusing, some sources are saying it's been re-established, others are saying it's been extended.
I agree, my last recollection was that it was canceled, about the same time Nthmond and Collingwood announced the intention to float alternative plans to the proposed Princes Park redevelopment.

We walked away from the gate-sharing agreement in 2015. I’m not sure how long it was in place but I believe that we opened the season with games against Richmond seven times prior to 2015.
Apart from the agreement improving our cash flow when it’s our away game, the two clubs should have the clout to see off any challengers wanting to muscle in on the opening game.

Was 2015 when the Princes Park redevelopment plans were first touted?
For some reason I have this strong mental link between Nthmond announcing the intention to float a competitive plan for a boutique venue and our ending the gate share agreement.
