Crows Chat That 'Doesnt Deserve Its Own Thread' Thread part 2

[RJ8812]

ah well, you'll just have to get a footy to kick around once all the snow melts

seeing as you're a new supporter I feel like we need to get you up to speed with some legendary Crows history... there's plenty of good and bad lol

this is one of my favourites, 200 gamer Ben "Truck" Rutten who kicked 3 goals with his first three kicks in AFL footy got on the end of this one for his last kick in his last game



then to keep with the good and bad theme this is a classic lol

I actually bought a ball while i was there and brought it back with me. I tried explaining to my friends what it was and how to kick it, but most of them just started throwing it around like in American Football...haha

That Fire walking video.... Who would actually think that was a good idea???

Hello!

Hi Alex.

That Fire walking video.... Who would actually think that was a good idea???

I've done it & it's very very safe ......you just don't realise that at the time ....well your mind doesn't, that's for sure

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Hi Alex.

yes probably

Nobody is proposing disallowing the Salvos from having their oh so important opinion. Nobody is muting them.

They are more than free to spout any nonsense they want, and we're free to express disappointment that the club would associate with them.

If yours is the minority of the AFC supporters views and we continue to support them as a sponsor do you leave it at that, democracy has won?
more people want them than don't? Does that view stop and "move on" or do you recruit more people and change their thought process to get more followers until the shift of supporters has outweighed that view and AFC needs to change?

Yes.

Yes.

Clearly depends on your view
Hopefully it's not too sinister!

I wasn't commenting on that in isolation, but public opinion evolves, so surely we don't vote once and that becomes the end of the matter. Obviously, the alternate view needs to accept the voice of the people at the time, but that doesn't mean that they can't continue to prosecute their views. The Democrat supporters haven't exactly just shut up shop and started to focus on the next election.

I know and I agree.
Society seems to be moving to a level where anything and everything has to be accepted and catered for.

wheres Runnin Blue? didn't get voted in for mayor and pissed off?

 

[arrowman]

I had just been a casual fan and would watch any game involving any team that was on TV here. This past June I took a vacation to Australia and a buddy and I went to a game while in Perth. He was rooting for the Eagles, so I decided to root for the Crows. It was the game where the Crows came from behind to win while blanking the Eagles like 30-0 in the 4th quarter. I had a great time and just decided to stick with the Crows since! Still learning the game, but I have the basics down. I wish I could play it here!!

What a great start to your career as a Crow!!!
Welcome!

Not sure if it's been said before or if this is thread worthy but I was having a chat with a port supporter and he made a valid point (surprising I know).

Say Tex is captain for another 5 years, who do we see as the next leaders?
I could only name Lever comfortably. There's a massive gap imo with who our future leaders are and if they're capable of leading our club the way Roo, Goodwin, McLeod, VB, Tex, Sloane etc have done in the past and are doing now.
It's too early to suggest Doedee, Gallucci are capable and I don't see Laird, Smith, Brown or CC as the leadership type.

Thought?

Thought?

If Tex was to drop off. Sloane initially. Lever, Probably wouldn't say Talia only because I recon a midfielder would be prefered.
That should see us through about 4/5 years.

Thought?

I presume you mean the leadership group and not just the captaincy. Sloane and Talia will be leaders for a while, Lynch may become part of the group with Vb gone and Thommo in the twilight of his career. I actually think Laird could be another, but like you said it's too hard to tell with the younger guys. Wait and see how they go I guess, I don't really see it issue right now tbh.

Thought?

Today it would be Tex Sloane, Talia, Betts, Jacobs,
In 5 years it may be, Talia, Lever, Hampton, Matt and Brad Crouch, Doedee, Gallucci, Poholke
The Crows currently have no shortages of potential leaders. both now and for the future.

I know you're right. I have absolute faith.

Thought?

I get the feeling that Cameron may develop into a Betts style leader. I think he's grown immeasurably as a person in his few years at the club. I think Knight could be a future leader going forward.

Lever as captain seems almost a lock if he sticks around. Gallucci was a co-captain of his TAC Cup side, so he could probably develop into one in time.

I remember reading that the problem wasn't with what they tried to do, the problem was that the fire was incorrectly built and that's why NS got burnt.
People have walked over hot coals for yonks. There's even an adage about it.

I apologize if this has already been posted, did a quick scan around the boards but couldn't see it.

Put a smile on my face. I know most players pay lip service like this regardless of their intention, but I've got a good feeling about Lever staying.

 

[GreyCrow]

But marty36 said he could be going because he hadn't signed

Thought?

Go back 5 years, did Tex seem a future captain. With him, Sloane and Talia at their peak, it's easy to not see what's developing underneath. I wouldn't have thought it would be a concern just yet.

Did most people pick Tex as a future captain even 12 months before he was appointed?
