He cheated and attracted crippling sanctions as a result.
The re-allocation to Adelaide Oval? He was against it, it happened inspite of him, not because of him... And now it looks like we've been screwed financially in the deal.
Our elite training facilities (which is also a function centre) were built at a stadium which was already likely to be obsolete, and are now a commercial liability and an anchor on our balance sheet.
He was hopelessly out of his depth.
The training centre is not really a White Elephant. The additional cost for the function centre aspect is minimal compared to the actual cost of building the training centre. And the museum is just a room to store the clubs trophies/memorabilia, it has to go somewhere.
No different to any other club's training centre that is not attached to where they play, ie about 15 clubs in the AFL.
I do wish we could buy the SANFL jumper, but have no issue with not playing home games. Where would play them? Footy Park with 2000 people there would be a joke.
One good thing Trigg did do was go into the AO move with open eyes. From the time the SANFL/SACA joined to form the SMA it was obvious both clubs were going to get screwed. Any leverage to negotiate was taken by the AFL (ie Vlad, he did say moving Crows/Power to AO as one of his greatest achievements) insisting that all home games in SA would be played at AO and a guarantee that AO would host 22 games a year. Lets not forget that Keith Thomas also signed on to the same deal at AO. Trigg was one of the few alluded the public to possible issues with the move, that seem to have come to fruition now.
I am far from a Trigg apologist, never liked the bloke and really disliked him when he changed our logo to the Sonic the Hedgehog/Baltimore Raven clone and told us effectively "stiff s**t".
