I don't mind this guy and his passion to be honest.

I reckon this tweet from him is even better:



Wanting the crows to wear a heritage jumper to remember AAMI stadium.

Where can I sign up?

Maybe a silhouette of Nigel bending over roo for old time sakes

Lol at the level of cringe of those posts. They're absolutely obsessed with us.

Top tier cringe. Petrol at $1.19? Huehuehueportspowahlolpwned.

The average Camry Crows' supporter certainly has an unhealthy obsession with our 2007 GF loss.

Imagine having a bit of fun and a joke around with your mates after winning a game of footy, can't have that.

And the media trying to turn every harmless incident into some type of racist, sexist, something-ist scandal. One of the three players holding the sign up is a freaking black man FFS!

Ports at $1.19 to win the Showdown.

Nice.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Ports at $1.19 to win the Showdown.

It's almost worth chucking s huge stack on money on just to have a retort when they say 119

 

[Steve Dore]

Is Boak a definite starter for the Showdown?

That must've come in when ET put a pineapple on it.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Fcuk me they are trying to hang on to the hope that he will come good.


So he had 20 disposals for the game and was “handed the kick-in duties”.

The kick-ins accounted for 12 of his disposals. Bring him in for the Showdown, play him in his new found position.

Did one of those 12 land on Ash Johnson's tit?

Trying to boost his value for when he leaves at the end of the year.
Pad the s**t out of his stats and hope no-one notices so they can get a late second.

 

[tribey]

so what is this #foyp thing?

That malignant sawn-off Crows hardo on Twitter whose brother is Damian Squire is quite fond of it.

Touch Of The Fumbles: The Power of 119 - InDaily

indaily.com.au

Writes an article dedicated to another clubs worst game. Then has It’s also a much better talking point than their rather tedious obsession with the so-called ‘prison bar’ jumper, a homage to all the felons who have played for and supported their club over the years (I presume?)

The way I see it, either Port will be unhappy, or Eddie McGuire will – and either of those scenarios is fine with me.

Can we just stop talking about it please?

 

[Alberton Proud]

I dont get this stuff at all.

Reality is that if you step back from all this, and remove bias...

Last year Adelaide were one of the most embarrassingly bad spoon winners this century. Their pass mark for progress for 2021 was 5 wins. 6 wins gets a B+, anything over 6 would be a massive overperformance and turn around.

Currently we are only 7 rounds in and they have already won 3 games (albeit one with a fair bit of umpiring assistance). As much as I hate to say it they should be ecstatic with where they are right now, not just scoring 3 wins, but also being competitive and pushing decent clubs.

To be disappointed now given where they were at 12 months ago would be utterly delusional, yet it seems thats the message from many. Bizarre stuff.

It appeases their sheep by implying that last year results were an aberration; that the non competitive under performances were the result of bad luck and poor umpiring and not their appalling lack of skill and heart

A cavalcade of journalistic intelligentsia

Wait... he is a diabetic which makes him more violent on the football field... and that was used as a... defence?

5 weeks for that? Should buy a lottery ticket.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm really concerned that McCartin is playing with his concussion history. Especially when people say the behaviour is completely out of character.

Sure he spoke one day of his eyes uncontrollably moving in different directions at some stage.

Lol Bailey Fritsch has his suspension overturned - an elbow to the head. AFL well and truly on the dees bandwagon.

Disgraceful decision that opens up a Pandora's box

This may have been posted previously but Tom Richardson

I don't mind Richardson's stuff. And good on him for trying to make a buck as a senior journo for an online daily journal that proudly boasts that it is at the forefront of independent journalism in SA.

Bravo to that! In a city and state dominated by NewsCorp and eastern media interests, including in the ABC, we need a strong and independent source of news coverage that is prepared to look outside of the press releases from political spin doctors.

What I don't get though is why Richardson wastes his talent in a producing a daily column focussed solely on the Adelaide Crows, a topic that receives more than enough 'fanboi' coverage in every broadcast medium in SA- print media, radio, TV etc.? Heck even the local ABC Radio station 891 Adelaide refers to the Crows as 'our team'.

At least they've started using Michelangelo Rucci as a writer so we get a bit of critical balance and insight.
