News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here! (Part 2)

[1970crow]

I don't like the sound of giving more responsibility to Ben Hart.

He absolutely sucks

The weaknesses in our forward structure were prevalent when we were league leading for scores for, let alone when he took over. Assuming he had any say whatsoever on how it functioned. I’m not suggesting he’s competent, he’s never inspired that type of feeling when he talks, but I wonder how much influence he actually had.

 

[Mutineer]

What the hell is this about Manure saying Brouch desperately wanted out of Adel towards the end of the trade period?

All the time while he was having a great time in New Zealand with Britt and his mum and dad....really, really desperate he was...

 

[1970crow]

That does sound logical

And it's not what the club said.

Instead they spun it as he didn't want one at all.

Which is what's being criticised here.

Sheesh.

you want me to test his ignore function again.

 

[footy4ever]

So Sam has climbed out of his hiding hole after getting absolutely destroyed over the Mason Cox to Essendon rumour.

Surprise, surprise it’s an Adelaides “story” to get his wheels back in motion. He needs to thank Tom Browne for being around because if it wasn’t for him then the fraud spotlight would be heavily focused on McLure

He’s apparently sitting on more s**t about *yaaaaawn* ‘the camp’. He’ll s**t that out of his mouth to try and sink the Crows at a time when he thinks it’ll be most damaging.

I’m so glad Carlton we’re s**t at everything for such a long time, him being the SosCarlton #1 fanboi. w***er!

1 head coach, 4 assistant, compared to

Brisbane - 1 head coach, 5 assistants
Carlton - 1 head coach, 4 assistants
Collingwood - 1 head coach, 4 assistants
Fremantle - 1 head coach, 4 assistants
Geelong - 1 head coach, 4 assistants
Gold Coast - 1 head coach, 4 assistants
GWS - 1 head coach, 5 assistants and a DoC.
Melbourne - 1 head coach, 3 assistants and a DoC
North Melbourne - 1 head coach, 3 assistants and a DoC
Port - 1 head coach, 5 assistants
St Kilda - 1 head coach, 4 assistants
Sydney - 1 head coach, 3 assistants
West Coast - 1 head coach, 5 assistants
Western Bulldogs - 1 head coach, 5 assistants

Few missing because I couldn't find updated lists for them, but most are around the same mark as us.

Most would’t be too fussed about the qty, it’s that ours is full of rookies and a reject.

Absolute flog, he honestly would think Dal Santo likes him. I bet you if he asked Dal Santo to go for a beer he will tell him to * off, I’m not your mate, it’s a paycheque you grub

 

[SaltPeter]

Starting to put the pieces together on this offseason...

I believe Chapman, Roo, Burton et al went to Fagan saying they wanted Pyke gone, he's the problem. Fagan said he thought the problems ran deeper.
The boys club stuck their heels in. Fagan then countered, saying he would agree to part with Pyke if the Boys Club agreed to an external review of the Footy department and implemented the suggested outcomes. The Boys Club said there was no need, Pyke is the whole problem. Fagan responded that if they were so sure, the review would support their position. They finally agreed.
Chapman goes around slapping backs, handing out new contracts. Sacks Pyke.
But then the results of the review come in...

Fagan holds the Boys Club to their word...

Apologies if this is already common knowledge, just trying to get my head around it.

Hot damn .. that's sure is some elite mental gymnastics right there. No surprise super flog Murray liked that post

 

[footy4ever]

BCrouch wanted a long-term deal sorted this off-season knowing it was a career year and he's never strung multiple years together. He absolutely wanted that here, to claim he was "desperate" to leave is misrepresenting the facts as I know them. That's not to say he wouldn't have taken a deal elsewhere, but there's a lot of mayo on that story, which isn't a surprise from the likes of Macclure and Barrett.

Being desperate for a well paid long term contract equates to being desperate to get out of the AFC. Similar to the Crows jettisoning Jenkins and Betts and refusing to meet contract demands of Keath and Greenwood is according to him an ‘exodus’ because it sounds more negative for the crows than saying that it was sensible and necessary list management.

 

[FR0GGY]

That’s ok, he’ll go next year and we will get decent compo given how poo we will be

You can be on Bicks watch if he does.

 

[Crow till I die]

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2019/11...-get-out-of-adelaide-in-trade-period-mcclure/ Why won't this story die? Beginning to think that there might have been some truth to it? Just saw its Sam Manure

That bastard white ants us again and again. Maybe the club should dig into his past and let fly on any inuendo he may have been involved in with his social media accounts or whatever just to discredit him further

 

[Sidthehat]

Must be something with Knight. Was desperate for him to leave so could go with it.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What possible reason would he have not wanting a quality resource? Especially as a first timer?

There isn't a reason but enough of our fans swallow rubbish like this which is why the club feels it can keep selling it.

The reason is that we left it too late & waiting a year until some become available.

We may as well run another short without Hart.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nope - Roo was pretty clear on radio. Didn’t want one. He even went further and said Nicks wanted less voices and to give more responsibility to his line coaches.

So the sell is not just the decision, but the carefully thought out rationale for the decision.

The fact is we’ve gone from:
Searching for a Snr assistant; to
He may not want one; to
He doesn’t want one and here are the reasons...

We haven’t been able to find or get who he wanted - so just say that.

Why make up such garbage

If they spent less time making up BS, they would have more time to do constructive things.

Sick of AFC treating members like idiots. What's wrong with being honest with the messaging?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Oh sure, I have his number in my contacts so I’ll flick him a text message and get back to you

Lol, would have thought you would have Nicks on a podcast by now.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Adelaide football director Mark Ricciuto has announced the Crows will not appoint a senior assistant coach to replace Scott Camporeale.

So we've decided that having no one would be better than having Camporeale.

And we'd be right

 

[Murray2503]

Being desperate for a well paid long term contract equates to being desperate to get out of the AFC. Similar to the Crows jettisoning Jenkins and Betts and refusing to meet contract demands of Keath and Greenwood is according to him an ‘exodus’ because it sounds more negative for the crows than saying that it was sensible and necessary list management.

Exodus of players...Lol. Lost any cedibility when he said Jacob's was part of an exodus. This guy called the crows the Afl's worst performed team. This coming from a guy that supports a club thats been a basketcase for nearly 20 years lol. Pretty funny stuff. Anyway, the main point is that BCrouch is worth around 650k-700k for 3 years max. If a club is willing offer him a long term deal then so be it as it will most likely result in a top 5 pick. Btw, his show is crap. My advice for him is to watch First Take on Espn. Journalism in this country is bloody amateur hour.

 

[1970crow]

What the hell are you sheeshing about? Just because some of us don’t swallow the club spin you’re hardly one to criticise now

Jenny still believes that Burto will be an elite GM of Footy and that Campo is loved and adored by all the players.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lucky we've got Chapman staying on for another year.

Chappy likes to stay involved, so will be our forwards coach for the year.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The players are in charge of the asylum now so maybe we don’t need any coaches at all?

They say the most successful teams have plenty of leaders on field... so we are getting ahead of the curve by having our players picking up the coaching slack off field...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You didn’t answer the question.
Your answer does not relate to my question.
Having a tax doesn’t mean you can’t be under one year and over the next.

Lol, what did you expect...

I don't think there is carryover with the footy department & you just wear the tax.

 

[1970crow]

So we've decided that having no one would be better than having Camporeale.

And we'd be right

It’s the Burto method. If only it’d catch on to Chappo.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

They may have spun it. OR they’ve told the truth.

Sheesh.

Nah, they are spinning BS as usual.

When the Chair does it, others follow.

Unfortunately they cannot be believed on face value given a very poor track record.

Another reason Chappy needs to go as the members don't deserve being fed lies.

 

[spenze]

Why not make Wright the forwards coach, move Porps into Wright's role and make Hart the runner?

Because he'd get the message, run out and deliver the message and the person getting the message would say "Purple monkey dishwasher?"

 

[FantasticShirt]

That bastard white ants us again and again. Maybe the club should dig into his past and let fly on any inuendo he may have been involved in with his social media accounts or whatever just to discredit him further

Would be good if the club actually did something. They’ll just ignore it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They may have spun it. OR they’ve told the truth.

Sheesh.

And, as has been pointed out, "the truth" according to the club is that the Senior Assistant Coach from GWS who we were so impressed with that we made him our Senior Coach doesn't think the Senior Assistant Coach position has any value.

So we don't need one.

Which of course makes no sense.
