You too?!
The first time I saw him in person was in the city years ago, at first I wasn't sure if it was him and the biggest reason for my uncertainty was how unkempt he looked. His suit wasn't ironed, actually it looked like it was the last resort pulled straight out of the laundry basket, and he had his shirt hanging out as well. I was a bit surprised as I would have expected someone in a high profile job to take better care of his appearance, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he just had a really bad day.
Maybe he's a method actor and has taken to living under a bridge to improve his trolling.

Listening to Fagan on 5AA interview ........the angriest i've heard him, tried to disguise, but he was on edge over something ?
Angry about what?
I would suggest angry at us being a "have" club in terms of equalisation.

Appeared to be short on the subjects of finance reporting, member city location, and purchase of hotels ......i may be off beam, but my first impression was he was getting frustrated with small town mentality on these subjects
Have a listen ......there's an under-current there ......let me know your thoughts on why??
Jaensch?

It was the last question and Chapman did answer him fairly well. I did have a little look for the guy to have a chat with after the function but didn't see them.

I would doubt it ? .....but that's purely a gut feel
Seriously thouh it sounded like he was annoyed at the amount that we are paying in equalisation, not at the idea of equalisation he's happy with that, but we are a serious outlier in the amount we pay, the similar taxed clubs to us are streets ahead in revenue.

What about his reaction to purchasing pubs close to where supporters live ? .......very sarcastic
Yeah that was a little odd. Maybe he just doesn't see the need, although I think allefgib alluded to him still trying to get us something at AO?

I Watched those vids of Fages, Chappy and Don at the members meeting.
Are we really paying out $2 million that the other teams don't pay. Makes it a bit hard.
I know Port also have to pay the transport thing but Wouldn't people just catch a bus anyway (and pay for it) if parking was an issue? Why the hell did we agree to that. Public transport in Adelaide is pretty cheap anyway IMO.

I hope Fages is pissed about the money we have to pay out. Its bullshite.
In terms of revenue we are in no way a "have" club. Port have more members, more revenue than us. They should be cutting us a cheque.
They should threaten court action over it. $2 mill is alot of money to try and make up.

Over Half the members that attend games use the free game day public transport and that figure in rising. and to stop that would impact on Memberships. Its a feel good payment

The Rob Gerrard plan...
He did say he was forceful and aggressive when he raised the issue with the afl recently, I wonder if it did change would we get back any of the previous money paid out.
Move operations to China?

Agree, as unlikely we would win the Commonwealth games bid.
