It's undeniable at this point. A big step forward for the club.I'll say it.
I think the club listened to criticism of the boy's club
Just to be contrary... the outgoing CEO wasn't a member of the boy's club either. We've replaced one non-boy's club employee with another.I'll say it.

In that scenario we might have gone too far the other way. I don't think picking a dude with a Rugby background was the right choice. Easy to say with the benefit of hindsight though.Just to be contrary... the outgoing CEO wasn't a member of the boy's club either. We've replaced one non-boy's club employee with another.

Now get rid of Roo and we are almost there.I'll say it.

Fagan was excellent on the financial side (and he's leaving Adelaide in a much better financial state than when he arrived), and was coming from a football background (albeit not AFL).In that scenario we might have gone too far the other way.

True, but there is now an established pattern of fresh hires that have nothing to do with the club previously in any capacityJust to be contrary... the outgoing CEO wasn't a member of the boy's club either. We've replaced one non-boy's club employee with another.
Except that we've seen the same behaviour, from the same posters, regardless of whether we were finishing minor premiers or wooden spooners. There is no correlation between ladder position and posts from these "supporters" shitcanning the club.
Sorry, but you & others like you would still bitch & moan if the club won 10 premierships in a row.Yeah we’re part of that annoying group that demands more than zero premierships in two decades.
Mate your probably too small minded to understand, but I guarantee Roo was heavily involved in most of the quality appointments we’ve made over the summerHopefully he'll be able to deal with the Roo issue
You're* if you're going to deal out insults make sure you know basic grammar.Mate your probably too small minded to understand, but I guarantee Roo was heavily involved in most of the quality appointments we’ve made over the summer
This is just a completely ridiculous hypothetical but it doesn't matter because we haven't won a single flag in over 20 years. We just won a spoon. Is context really so hard for you to understand? If anything it's the club apologists who need to be dialing it back right now, not the other way around.Sorry, but you & others like you would still b*tch & moan if the club won 10 premierships in a row.
No... that's Olsen's job, not Silvers'. At every other club it's the President who stands up and makes those statements (e.g. McGuire, Kennett). The failure to have someone stand up for the club in public was one of Chapman's key failings.The real test is when the media start trashing us for some reason and weather he stands up to the media or AFL and says "Enough of this bullshit, it's been happening too long"
I think the issue there was with his lack of football knowledge he seemed to quickly defer a great deal to that boys club when it came to football department matters. I get why he'd do that, but it unfortunately did him no favours.Just to be contrary... the outgoing CEO wasn't a member of the boy's club either.

I'm well aware that we just won the wooden spoon. I'm equally aware that these same Negative Nellies were posting the same volume of anti-club crap when we were winning 10 consecutive games on the way to a minor premiership. Their negativity has nothing to do with the club's success (or lack thereof) on-field. They are just negative people, who will always post negative rubbish about the club - because that's who they are as people.This is just a completely ridiculous hypothetical but it doesn't matter because we haven't won a single flag in over 20 years.

How would you even know this? Did Bigfooty even exist the last time we were a successful club?I'm well aware that we just won the wooden spoon.

Given the constant stream of negativity from these posters, there is no context to understand. Their negativity is completely independent of on-field success (or lack thereof). It is constant, regardless.
It probably wasn't around in 97/98, but these same posters were posting the same crap in 2017 (minor premiers, played in GF), and all the way back to 2005/06 (when we made the PF). There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that their negativity correlates with on-field failure, it's all about failure of personality by these terminally depressing individuals.How would you even know this?

Anyone got a link to the presser, the afc site doesn’t load the video.
New coach, new CEO, new chairman, new footy ops manager.
Looks like the previous ones weren’t doing such a great job after all.
Very good appointment. At least will shut the neighsayers down for a bit.

There is zero correlation between on-field success and the number of posts by "supporters" like you, sh*t canning the club and everything it does.
