[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

External-led review?

Who are they leading?

 

[hey shorty]

I can, given his decent foot skills and direct style, no pi**ing around with short, sideways football, would have to be an improvement in that regard to Kyle Hartigan in our back six surely?

Hes a taller Pat Wilson

 

[hey shorty]

External-led review?

Who are they leading?

Hopefully external footy people

External-led review?

Who are they leading?

Exactly.

And who is the external party?

Is it one individual, or are we engaging a professional consulting firm?

Sounds like there will be a chairman of the review committee from outside the club but the other members will be from within.

 

[Big Gazoongas]

Great - so we're in good shape... except for the reason for our being.




Based upon what? Certainly not their performances.

And why does he have the trust of the Board, when we've been disgraceful this year?

What about Burton, does he have the trust of the playing group?




These are more indirect weasel words.

Is it an external review, or is it not?



Then why are we having the review?

Seems like a sham process to me, if the expectation is already that it'll tell us what a great job everyone is doing.




Can defend him all he wants, doesn't change the reality.




Oh, so he didn't just take on the role because of Foord passing away?


Should've been after Tippett then.




Lulz, 9-11 years is the right time, is it?

What an arbitary, bulls**t figure.




Wait... so are you going, or not?



Why did all of our Board Members decline to comment, when this is clearly of interest to the member and support base?

This is all just bulls**t PR spin - yet again.

I re-iterate this;



These are more indirect weasel words.

Is it an external review, or is it not?

He's a smug f**k. I cant stand the prick. Full of excuses to justify his uncountable existence.

You can bet we'll replace him with a clone.

Just F**K OFF ROB just F**K OFF

 

[Big Gazoongas]

Exactly.

Rob mother is doing the review.

Probably but I live in hope until it's determined otherwise

 

[Mutineer]

you just answered your own question as to why our current coaching panel won't be interested

You can get set with me that if you think Pyke won't make big changes to our game style, structures and game plan over summer.....He well knows now it's not working and you can bet he's well aware it's blatantly unpopular with the Adelaide supporters. Unlike some I'm supremely confident now there will be sweeping changes made at the AFC at season's end and over summer.

we can only hope!!

Have a look at this s**t:



We're not trusted to rule ourselves.

Like, I already knew we had submitted to AFL control, but its infuriating when you see it in a table like this and that all VFL clubs have member voting rights

 

[Redline]

You can't believe anything that comes out of Chapman's mouth. There will be an external review but it will be carefully managed

How come the article suggests Roo would have to give up radio due to the time pressures of being Chairman. It didn't stop Koch, McGuire or Brayshaw.

A joke that we're under the same terms as the expansion Clubs, a Club in a non-AFL state and Port.

Ricciuto will be in on it.

Soooo who do we have to kill to get our independence?

Even freaking Brisbane have member voting rights and independence from the AFL.

Trust Chapman to agree to this s**t

 

[GreyCrow]

1 bloke wearing a suit getting directed to all departments except that 1 door that has BB on it.

When suit guy asks about the door he gets told its nothing to worry about and ooh muffins

No wonder we are s**t. It works to the Afl's best interests that we never win a flag. Would fully support a breakaway competition.

Note the VFL clubs all retain their traditional membership structures, yet us "interstate" franchises are AFL (or WAFC) controlled.

Further confirms we joined their VFL......

Adelaide Football Club chairman Rob Chapman signals end of 11-year reign

11 years too late.

 

[GROTTO]

One of the very few Clubs (maybe even the only one) that has played a "home" final interstate. (not talking about the GF 2017, but a final v Melbourne in 00's.)

AFL also made sure to screw non-Vic Clubs by allowing the MCG to host the GF for decades to come.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Dumb and Dumber.

Smart, Burton and Campo

Burton
“Duh, Nigel why are we down here?”

Smart
“Oh, geez! I told ya, Brett-- to guard the bee!”

Burton
“Buy why!!??”

Smart
“Oh, you guys are pathetic.
No wonder Fages made me head bee guy.”

Well we did.

But we will get control in 2028 which is all we can look forward to.
