I'm calling it now Adelaide will get the spoon and Gombau will get the sack. Everyone knows how they will play/line up and that will be their downfall, they don't have the ability to play the game style they want to successfully and teams now know how to counter the "Barca" system. Question will be if Adelaide will be good enough to stick to system and still get results after teams set up to negate the "Barca" system, which IMO they're not. Pressure will mount after results don't come and the system will be thrown out the window in search for results, Gombau still doesn't have the right cattle.
If you look back at last season they made a late charge up the ladder after a bit of luck and other sides mediocrity. Key players found form towards the end of the season but will that be found again.
On the other hand I could be completely wrong. Adelaide will either set the world on fire or be a complete disaster I can't see any middle ground and I'm lean to the later.
