No Oppo Supporters Re-signing Tex, Danger and Sloane *** Crows Only ***

[GROTTO]

Forget family, forget home.

Sure they are part of the picture but this is the Trigg sanctions still at play. If we were top four, sniffing around grand finals then I doubt the pull of home would be as over-powering.

We dont know what Paddy's true reasons are for leaving though? Was it for Geelong? Was it because of Mardi? Was it family? We may never know properly?

It couldnt be because of the direction our Club was headed because all signs are we are have progressed upwards this year.

If the Club knew Danger was leaving before the finals, should we have even played him?

 

[footy4ever]

He's not winning the best and fairest.

Well…not now.

If Dangerfield made his decision this time last year, which some suggest, then you'd think a combination of the Tippett saga and fallout combined with the handling of Sando's sacking would've played a part. Let's face it - 2011-2014 was basketcase stuff.

 

[Interloperer]

Free Agency is very good. The more the league moves away from 'Equalisation' in the form of "Please make our club win again in a way that doesn't require our admin/board to resign and/or take responsibility for its ineptness," the better.

 

[Bicks]

Wonder if Dangerfield will be the first player in AFL history to win a club B&F but not turn up. That would be awkward.

Rischitelli for Brisbane but not sure whether he turned up for the B&F

 

[azza77]

He's not winning the best and fairest.

Hopefully they rig it so my boy Lairdy wins it now

 

[Bicks]

Gunston won the award, but the Crows removed it from him. Club should do the same again.

That wasn't the B&F award it was best 1st year player or something, Talia ended up winning the award.

 

[TrainRoo32]

Rischitelli for Brisbane but not sure whether he turned up for the B&F

He definitely turned up, and made a speech that was rather difficult for him

 

[EVILCROW]

Once Danger announces hes leaving....

 

[GROTTO]

That wasn't the B&F award it was best 1st year player or something, Talia ended up winning the award.

Yes thats right I know that. I never said it was the B&F.

We will never know, and that is the problem with being a hobbyist -- I mean, Supporter. We are not privy to the reasoning behind players moves, we just have to accept it and move on. I'm not saying we should know every bit of Danger and Mardi's private life but some honesty would be appreciated. Just having him come out with the usual platitudes of: "It was a decision I agonised over (for a couple of days at least), it was really hard to make the call to leave. My heart will always be with the boys at the Crows, but my future lies elsewhere" Ugh, gag me with a spoon.

 

[Bicks]

Wonder if Caro's source was from Geelong or Adelaide. What do you think?

This is not Rucci we are talking about here, I'd be very surprised if Caro didn't verify it with sources at both clubs before going into print.

That's a poor choice of language Drugs Are Bad Mackay? - Trigg sanctions still at play? They've only just begun, and this is the first bit of fall-out, and they will be felt for ten years.

Yup. We've only just moved out of the Ayres-bad-drafting years, to start feeling the Trigg-Penalty years. Yippee.

Add in those 4-6 first and second round draft picks to the list... and imagine them taking the 16-22 spots in the team. Thank **** our recruiters are good, because everyone else in the admin until recently was ****ing useless.

 

[little graham]

Well…not now.

I rekon Jacobs was by far our best player.

 

[Gets!]

I would seriously love to know Caro's sources. She clearly has some bloody rippers.

 

[crowsontv]

You really think the Crows would tell her !

I guess everyone is entering the depression stage?

You can't be serious? The Crows haven't leaked anything since the new admin came in, she wouldn't have got her story from us.

 

[SmegHead]

Hey, at least its progress. Although I think we will jump back a couple of steps to Anger pretty soon

 

[Don Muraco]

I guess everyone is entering the depression stage?

I'm still here

 

[Crow Envy]

Football sucks

 

[Crouch#44]

The club was unsuccessful in getting him to sign a healthy extension last year....

IMO they were about to trade him then but took the gamble that a new coach could bring change!

 

[Troy Nation]

I agree. I get the feeling someone's confidence has been betrayed on this issue.

 

[ManInTheArena]

Hang on, Im not saying MCrouch wont be good. I am saying that Vince would have been handy in our starting 18 (would have replaced Mackay) given that MCrouch has not cemented his place as yet.

I don't think anyone expected him to go gang busters in his first two seasons.
