what's the status of the "The SANFL want to sell up West Lakes, break the lease and payout the Crows millions of dollars" story?Anyone know where we got the money to offer all these coaches deals they cant refuse?
Yeah thats right, I forgot. That would be why everyone kept ringing the radio stations yesterday saying we are one of the richest clubs in the league.Well we've got all that revenue coming from the AO deal that was gonna see us rolling in it.
Wait...
Finals are, and have always been, the domain of the elite. Careers can be judged by performances in finals, and for those who fail to deliver on the grandest stage, question marks can remain long into their retirement.
...
The elite are driven by finals and by team success. While they may appear selfish on the field, demanding the ball, driving themselves to the next contest to will the ball forward, they are the ones driven by winning. Throughout the season, while the non-elite lie awake at night fretting over that missed tackle, the poor turnover, the time they let their man goal-side to score, the elite mostly worry about team culture, morale, training levels and standards.
...
A player’s goals shift as a career progresses. To begin with, the aim is to play seniors. Once there, the focus moves to becoming a regular senior player, followed potentially by the elevation into the leadership group. For some, this could take 150 games, or around eight to 10 years. For others, the elite, it might take only two or three. This doesn’t mean that younger, more ‘average’, players don’t want to win - of course they do - but the reality remains that if you don’t play well, your career won’t last that long. Therefore, it is only once these goals have been achieved that players are truly able to devote the emotional energy required to focus on the team, and become motivated by finals success.
...
The vast majority of players who will run out over the next four weeks will be focused on their role, grateful for the opportunity to play finals. Yet for the elite, there is extra significance. While fulfilling their role and providing their usual leadership is fundamental to the team’s finals success, so too is that extra spark that only the elite can offer. For them, finals really are what it’s all about; it’s what has motivated them throughout another arduous pre-season, through the pain of degenerative knees and ankles, and through those mid season crisis meetings when it feels the whole world is collapsing. It is what motivates them to take the next step, and it is why finals are the time when the elite shine and reputations, as well as games, are won and lost.
That wasn't a very nice scene. This was the first player we ever introduced to this league,who got a gig as a senior coach,our senior coach. When it didn't work out, he did the presser all on his own,outside the club (we have a specific room for pressers) no board members, no players, no admin, only Ian Shuttleworth making sure the pack wasn't to rabid.
If there's something not being said, it was rather cruel , the way things transpired.
Review started in June. I would like to know who did the review, who did they report to.
Chapman, Roo (who was invited to the join the Board earlier to participate in this review), Payze and Noble. The Panel then reported to the Board.
Good points, Redleg, but we didn't finish 5th in 2009 - finals count and we sure weren't the fifth best team at the end of it all.
Then the Roo-volution will be complete.
There are some murmurs.
I'm looking at it like this.
If we have someone lined up - no issue. And I believe we do.
If it turns out we don't... scandal makes as much sense to me as anything else.
He's gone mateDont be Roo-diculous, there is still Petrenko, Smack, Reilly and a bunch of other potatoes still left.

Bassett is tightening in the odds from $10 to 8 now $5.
I actually have felt he is our man as soon as Goodwin took the Melbourne job.
The problem with Dew is that he is married to a local Sydney gal who does C7 news, it may be a lot harder to pry than say a Bassett who would genuinely be coming home.
Really? We finished 5th, won our first final against Essendon (96pts), then lost to Collingwood (5pts). That'd make us 5th wouldn't it?Good points, Redleg, but we didn't finish 5th in 2009 - finals count and we sure weren't the fifth best team at the end of it all.
depends who the other losing side was that week, whoever was higher ranked in the regular season would technically get 5th. So unless a top 4 side went out in straight sets then yeah we'd be 5thReally? We finished 5th, won our first final against Essendon (96pts), then lost to Collingwood (5pts).

Trooly?Mckernan has already been de-listed.

Trooly?
Perhaps they were all chubby chasers?The big question that needs to be answered before anything, is how does Stuart Dew get such hot chicks !?!?! Teresa Palmer, Sarah Cummings and there had been others, can any female posters shed some light ? I can't see it (or maybe it's what you can't see ) Longmire is not the only horse.
Sorry to quote from pages back but I'm just catching up!He's a very forthright and confident speaker, no question about it.
But those lines were not his own. You're kidding yourself if you think he went out there on live TV without being briefed to within an inch of his life.
