No one can argue his success as a coach..... Adelaide used to be a great team, till Marino needed her ego filled too much.

Big loss for Townsville, but great to see Adelaide wanting to build using local talent, though not a lot around right now

Not sure how much wrong Tracy York did last year considering what she had to work with. She had a good second half of the season and Adelaide were competitive
