Rumour Eddie Betts retiring at season end ??

[Eagleboy2011]

Not overly happy that Chapman thinks it's worthy to speak on, especially specifically mentioning that issue, but only at a press conference for the airport upgrade.

I think it's worthy of it being its own thing.

It's one thing for us to control the positive mention, not spoon feed the journos like Rucci his articles, but I think sometimes these things do need a response.

And that shouldn't be from Paul Seedsman at a primary school and Rob Chapman in his other job as Chairman of the Adelaide Airport.

I think it's time for Andrew Fagan to make himself available to the media, and with Fagan being from a non-AFL background I also think Burton should be available for questioning more often (and Hass with the injury stuff).

No more hiding behind sponsored announcements on the clubs Youtube channel.

I would have thought Fagan would be the one to make the statement. KT at Port normally makes theirs. (you would not want Kochie being frontline.)

So after about 4 months of digging by media, articles, countless rumours, countless refuting and "nothing to see here", and finally pressure from media ambassadors - the Chairman finally fronts with ...some aspects could have been handled better ?

Jesus

Baby steps, baby steps.

So he has just confirmed a little we already knew.

I want to hear what we intend to do to fix this going forward...

Should Chapman have said "some" players rather than "indigenous" players? "Those whiny aboriginal players".

If what took place at the camp was culturally insensitive to indigenous people, then that is what it is.
It’s not indigenous players whinging, it’s indigenous players that have been offended.

I wasn't saying I'm saying ingenuous players whingeing I'm saying that's what some may say. Anyway, I was probably jumping at shadows.

For christ sakes for starters say we have cancelled the program.

Exactly, this should be the first decision, but need a few others too.

When there is a media circus, which wont go away, you need to deal with it!

Ask 1970crow

I'm an accountant who specialises in costing use of the information to improve performance.

BunjiMac, missus and I had a brilliant dinner with Kane when he was up here. Bloody interesting stuff and he certainly knows his s**t back to front. They create per unit costing data from their client's back end which would otherwise be just big numbers with no management tool value whatsoever. Was a great evening.

Segregation

Segregation

Reads the Rawlinsons Cost Guide?

 

[mistylake]

Disgraceful, anyone still want to claim Eddie had fun?

He said he got good stuff out of it himself.

 

[craig crowing]

Eddie will play his contract out and try to get more was he needs us even more than we still need him.
Like everyone love Eddie but just hope doesn't tarnish his name like another goode ex SA player did .

Not sure where else to post this.
Came across this pic of Screaming Jay Hawkins on a friends FB page and wondered why he was posting a pic of Eddie Betts.

I had forgotten all about this Eddie leaving bullshit. Fun times. Thanks for bumping

Dude, horrible thread choice considering the events of the last 24 hours

Why?
Because Hampton has retired?

You think?

For future reference, when 1 indigenous Crows player who had well documented issues with the club's preseason retires. Probably best to not bump the retirement rumour thread about the other indigenous Crows player who had well documented issues with the club's preseason to post a joke pic, 12 hours later!

Gonna give people a heart attack!

I think you’re being a bit sensitive

The way this season has gone can you blame me? Usually bad things come in pairs, or in our case big old horrible clusters!

Seeing the Eddie Retiring thread on the front page this morning almost made me spit out my coffee!

Jeez, from your reaction I thought his father had passed away overnight or similar.

Or you know, he was retiring. Which would be the more logical leap, from an out of the blue bumping of a 'Eddie Betts is Retiring' Thread...

 

[FAITH]

Did I really hear Eddie say he was struggling to get motivated to play afl?

Are these guys seriously living in some fairyland or something?
