Josh Rachele is contemplating the possibility of toning down his flamboyant goal celebrations in response to criticism he received over his missed marks in Adelaide’s recent loss. Despite making a strong impression in his debut with five goals in 2022, Rachele’s fiery on-field demeanor can draw negative attention when the team is not performing well.
Rachele acknowledges that he may need to prioritize his on-field performance rather than expressing his emotions so visibly. He cited Jack Ginnivan as an example of a player who faces intense scrutiny when his performance dips.
Adelaide, who were expected to be among the finals contenders this year, have struggled with only one win from their opening six matches. They will face winless North Melbourne on Saturday, providing them with an opportunity to get back on the winning track.
