Curiosity, but really I could only get that far in before the childishness became too much. I couldn't put my finger on why the AFC act the way they do (lollipop ties, changing the club song to sound more lame, referring to fans as customers etc) but now that I've heard that and seen the youtube video of their cheer squad singing practice sessions I understand that it's not really about football but more about trying to find an identity, kind of like having many personalities in one head.

That's it in a nutshell floodbuster . They are exactly like having many personalities in the one head. Glenelg, North, South, West.....

We are Port Adelaide.

BT has probably never heard of Roy & HG, or if he has, thinks they are just a couple of ABC p00fters. His role models would be Rex Hunt and Lou Richards.

.....you're probably right.

What about the velvet voice?.....hasha bhogle

I include him in Grandstand. Great commentator.

 

[Lou Zyffer]

wants attendances, not viewers. surprise surprise.

And I'd 'attend' if I was in Adelaide but I'm not travelling 2000 odd Km to watch my clubs 'B' team play in a practice match.

Pillock.

I heard the following quote multiple times this morning from a coach: guess who....

"We will get what's coming to us"

lol, we could probably file a copyright infringement on the crows at this point.

What's coming to them is a flogging of monumental proportions, so he's got that part right.

Ours (the Crows) game is sold out so they can't get anymore attendance yet the AFL have still blocked the live streaming of the game - Fox aren't covering it.

Absolute disgrace. No HD telecasts (unless foxtel), and not all games covered. * me.

They aren't showing our game from Norwood Oval either, which is strange because their reasoning was that they couldn't get a decent enough 4G/satellite coverage in regional areas to adequately stream the game. 7mate had no troubles broadcasting the SANFL from Norwood last year.

Just perusing the Crows thread about their AGM and specifically the election of Jamo, I must admit our board looks far more talented and well rounded professionally.

I've been away for a few days so I may have missed it but there seems to be a distinct lack of commentary on the Crows recent financial results.

Was there any indication of what caused their loss? (apart from the obvious issues with the stadium deal)

Blamed it on Sando pretty much.

Blamed it on Sando pretty much.

Which is funny as Wal$hy is going to cost the crows a good $400k a year more anyway.

We've been there and done that, with the Choco fiasco. Yet another thing those pesky bunch from Westlake's are copying from us!

Trying so hard not to say 'we'll get what we deserve'

Sounds as if Gillon has turned the decision over, all games can be streamed by the clubs now.

So I would assume we will now have coverage of the Norwood oval match.

I just heard this on Triple M as well. They said the Crows game in Port Lincoln will be streamed live, lets hope the club gets on this same train as well.

What kind of name is Gillon anyway? Did they accidently G instead of D then just not fix it?

Yes. It's like the Walt Gisney logo. But people just pretend its Disney anyway.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Hahaha. Crows fans will LOVE this
