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

[Crowstar]

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.

Good call! Nah it's not, just putting it out there.

 

[1970crow]

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

Not really, it was all Sloane and Danger, but at the time they were co-captains and many posters hadn't really thought about there being a time post-VB yet. But when it became clear that moving on from VB was on the cards, quite a few people did mention Tex as a smokey and even had Talia in the mix.

Exactly, that's my point. I'm confident there are leaders there that we don't see from our perspective.

I was checking out the new player profiles on the afc website, and took the time to read the Q&A section. Was certainly worth it. Does anyone know the inside joke on why 90% of the players responded to the question "Who is your favourite footy journalist" with the answer "Josh Jenkins" ?? Anyone know what that's about ??

Also worth noting, Dave Makay's profile doesn't work. Anything in that you reckon ??

JJ's at Melton for harness racing and was interviewed briefly. Had a runner in the 3rd that he gave no hope to, ran 3rd at just under 200:1. Paid about $30 for the place, looked a winning chance a for a fair part of the straight.

They were advertising Jenkins appearance at the Harness Meet all week on SEN1116 .....can't remember what his and another personality's appearance was in aid of?

EDIT .....just remembered it was a Foxtel function

I reckon Carlton would be down there with sides we've played at home the least. Always seemed to cop a game with them at Princes Park back in the day too (with no return clash here).

On the flip side could probably count on one hand the years we haven't played North Melbourne at home.

Ironically the lady Blues are here Sunday

and the club had a hilarious tweet about it

and then followed up with this as well (which I love that Ebony Marinoff was concerned that they couldn't find an appropriate Noffy and Flippa one instead of Joey - click on the tweet for further tweets)
