“There is an entire series of components in this, but as I said, it is not a question that we are facing at this stage.”

Olsen said that the crows probably “obtained a little in front of ourselves” in 2024, when they finished well out of eight after having embraced expectations after 2023 – when they lost the finals on the back of an error as a referee (against Sydney).

“Last year there were expectations after we made the finals on the error of referee of Porta. And so we said, in ’24, we embrace expectations – not to be intimidated by it. Well, (we) we found ourselves a little in front of ourselves, so this year, we will not do it. We will do. It is every game at a time,” said Olsen.

“I think culture is exceptional, it does not concern the individual, it is the team and we celebrate individual success as a team’s success and this is the culture that was built without deviation by Matthew Nicks and by the coaching group. It is really what is the foundation of the game group at the moment.”

Olsen confirmed that Adelaide had a wage room to pursue players from other clubs.

“We had the ability and used that ability wisely and was very deliberated,” he said.

Adelaide, who has a powerful attack, is passionate about St Kilda Star Heviffice Nasiah Wanganeen-MileraAnd they showed the defender of Collingwood and the free agent Brayden Maynard, among others.

Olsen recognized him The final loss of 2017 for RichmondThe subsequent unfortunate team field in Queensland and the outgoing coach Don Pyke had had an impact on the club, together with some drafts of draft and commercial from 2017 to 2019 which “was a lack”.

“I think a club should avoid going to the bottom and the reconstructions are not in the short term. The reconstructions are long -range. The bases of supporter are impatient for success, since the advice is impatient for success, like all associated with the club.”

Olsen said that Adelaide’s best choice in 2020, Riley Thilthorpe, was an example of a young player who matured at that time.

“The way it has matured in the last two years has been extraordinary – and where it is in this year – and there was always faith that would arrive where it is located,” said Olsen.

But after erroneously embraced the expectations of last year, the president of Adelaide said he was adopting a more conservative approach.

“Well, we exist to play Footy finals – this is our goal and our goal and to be consistent finals (contenders).

“After my comments from last year that embrace expectations, I am adopting a more conservative approach to it, every game, every game at a time and that we build towards the finals and we are constantly in the final … but these things are never linear.

“There is no doubt the great final loss of ’17, and the field and the loss of our coach (Don Pyke), a combination of things, had an impact on the club, and it was a question of grouping and reconstruction.”

Olsen said that the addition of three recruits-James Peatling, Isaac Cumming and Alex Neal-Bullen-made the difference for a team that needed depth.

“We saw the trade and the project to bring three players with final experience that made a huge difference for our team,” said Olsen. Peatling had chosen the crows on “Four or five, six clubs”.

Olsen said that the suction of the crows was “no impediment” in the players who came to Adelaide, while they embarked in the construction of a new structure from $ 100 million west of the CBD.

“It is, in fact, a club that people will want to be part of the future,” he said.

Olsen witnessed the Devils of Tasmania and the AFL on the journey for a new controversial stage at Macquarie Point. He spoke with the parliamentarians of the Tasmania of the economic and community benefits of the new stadium and said that there was an AFL challenge due to the debts supported by state governments when competition for dollars became tight.

“Yes, there is (a challenge to get funding),” said Olsen. “I know we received (Adelaide Oval), I think they were $ 30 million from the Federal Government and I know that there are $ 240 million on offer at Tasmania – (it is one) big difference.

“But with state governments that accumulate a substantial debt across the country, the competition for expenses will become tight”.

Olsen, who will host a delegation of parliamentarians from Tasmania on 2 and 3 May to Adelaide, mentioned the positive economic impact on the SA of Adelaide’s Oval as a topic for the new stage in Tasmania in his recent visit.

“My argument for them was:” Look at what Adelaide Oval has actually delivered “and any economic analysis must really consider the actual result of Adelaide Oval.”
