Do people honestly think that players like Brown, Talia, Betts, Jenkins, Brad Crouch and Lynch wouldn't have signed on if we wanted to keep them around?
Yes, the 'narrative' is they they 'retired' or 'asked to leave' but this is because they could see the writing on the wall with the youth...
As you said, it's practically unavoidable that we play so many kids each week because the list is stacked with them. So how'd we get here? The reason we're even in a rebuild is because we made the active decision to move on from stalwarts such as Talia, Betts, Jenkins, Brown, Greenwood, Brad...
To the people expressing frustrations regarding Nicks' youth selection policy, I suggest you look at the list composition before he came in (2019) compared to now. We've pushed a tonne of experience out the door since that time for the exact reason that we wanted to blood youth and move on from...
Twat confirmed.
If Shaun Higgins is your favourite player, just say so.
I'm betting you have no hair to speak of.
Fellas, if you wanna do baseless assumptions and shit slinging as rebuttals instead of responding to the point I made, I can do that too. I'd prefer to engage in the actual...
Looks like the "old blokes" comment ruffled some feathers.
If 30 years from now I'm proclaiming I'm all-knowing and right, whilst being invested in what a footballer does with their hair (up until they earn it of course), just put me in the bin. You're not their dads. Criticise that they missed...
I don't spend my life on bigfooty with 35k posts so I must be an alt, yeah? Feel free to get the mods to check my IP for other accounts if you want to reach that hard for a counter.
Just like how a player's self-expression has to be adjacent to their ability as a footballer? You reckon I'm the...
Imagine telling professional young men who earn more money than you do, that they have to "earn the right" to style their appearance the way they want to. You don't own them. You old blokes are weird.
I know we're all enjoying Port being a basketcase and I know this is typical bigfooty, but this obsession with them is pretty embarrassing - we've only won 1 game ourselves. We were in their position just two years ago, humble yourselves.
I posted this on the Adelaide board too, but one thing that's annoyed me for ages about Crows guernseys is that we've added more hoops over time. It's gone from two sets of hoops leading into three in the 90's, to three leading into four. It makes it look a mess. I don't know when this started...
I feel like it looks better in real life than in a mock-up so here's some two-hoop collar/cuff combos with Ben Keays pushing his gut out to look stronk:
Yeah but you don't like the yellow guernsey either so your opinion is poo.
What's bugged me over the years is that we've gradually added more hoops to the guernsey. For comparison's sake, here's a picture of our guernsey in 2017 vs a picture from 1997:
Notice how in the 2017 one (sorry to bring back bad memories), there are three sets of hoops leading in to four...
