This was in the paper yesterday about a Crows Life Member who was Head Trainer for many years..
GOUDGE, Gary Ernest. _
Passed away suddenly
at Marion Bay
October 31, 2008
Aged 62 years
Extremely sad news for those of us who had the pleasure of knowing him.
I know it's all over the main board but I want to post my thoughts here too.
Along with Bruce McAvaney, he has been my favourite all-time caller.
An absolute tragedy. I can't believe it.
Life sucks sometimes.

CHRIS Mainwaring was sitting quietly on the banks of Fremantle Oval, watching an autumn evening training session of rival club the Dockers, when he revealed his dark secret.
Despite a successful new...
If you have seen Central Districts play this year, you will know that Ian Callinan is a GUN. Has some speed and is awesome around goals.
His class was once again on display in the SANFL Grand Final.
He would be a perfect fit for the Crows. Is similar in height to Matthew Bode and would play...
There is a classic front page of the Messenger Newspaper for those who live in the Port Adelaide Area. Can you imagine the reaction of the residents when they read this:
In Affectionate Remembrance of Port Adelaide Football, which died at the MCG on 29th September, 2007.
Deeply lamented by a...
After all the flak they have copped this year, I must say that I really enjoyed the Channel 7 telecast of the Geelong vs Collingwood match last night.
Commentators were excellent (Dennis, Bruce and Tim in particular) and the camera work was top class. They captured what was an epic battle very...
If he could be pursuaded to come back, would Malcolm Blight be of assistance to Neil Craig in the coaches' box on match day in the future?
It seems one of Craigy's weaknesses is lacking the initiative to try new things during a match, something Blighty was famous for.
Craigy worked well with...
I came looking for this topic here but couldn't find it after watching the ABC's SANFL game between Norwood and Port on the weekend.
Jared Poulton retired after the Maggies were victorious over their arch-rival Norwood on the weekend.
Although not the most gifted player, he has been a great...
Did we have a curfew last year when we were on top of the ladder? NO
Did West Coast have a curfew last year when they won the Premiership? DEFINITELY NO
Has the curfew improved the Crows performance this year? WITHOUT QUESTION, NO!!!
It's been a good lesson learnt the hard way - do...
Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere else but Gary Lyon pointed out a very revealing stat on last night's Footy Classified.
In the first half of the season, when we were winning, the opposing teams in Crows games were averaging about 120 handballs a game. In recent weeks, during our...

JEFF Gieschen arrives in town today. It is a "long-planned" trip for the AFL umpiring director says the AFL, rather than a knee-jerk reaction to Port Adelaide being confused, annoyed and downright cranky about the state of...
Frustrations for the Power, the Crows and the Roosters !
North Adelaide Football Club fully understands that once a player is drafted to either the Crows or the Power, he is totally under their control. However that doesn't reduce the frustration for our Club, and probably others, in not being...

RUCK bust John Meesen has 10 weeks to save his Adelaide career.
Crows coach Neil Craig has declared he wants the club's 2004 first-round draft pick at West Lakes next year but concedes he must...
Interesting! :confused::confused::confused:
From the Herald Sun:
The AFL umpiring department has cleared a goal umpire of wrong-doing in Saturday night's Kangaroos-Adelaide game.

Dump the rules that reward weak bodies

ALL the hype over the new interpretations of the rules and the direction the game is heading got me thinking about what I like most about AFL football. What makes it the best game on the planet...
Is it a direction from above or what's the story?:confused:
I'm not just talking about Chris Judd, it seems that every week someone gets a penalty from the Match Review Panel (which itself seems to be more lenient this year) and then successfully challenges it through the tribunal.:thumbsd...
After the weekend results, you'd think so.
Or will he focus on more riveting issues like Scotty Thompson's lost bet?
Can't wait to read the paper tomorrow.:rolleyes:
We've got a thread for favourite horse, why not a thread for least favourite?
There could be many reasons why you pick your least favourite....
(I need some time to come up with mine!).
Delta Blues: Nash Rawiller – Getting to the furlong everything else was getting the stitch, he went home well, a good Melbourne Cup run. Third.
Railings: Greg Childs – Fair run, press ahead to the Melbourne Cup, he will run the two miles. 10th.
Roman Arch: Noel Callow – Jumped in the air at...
We are always told that Caufield Cup form is the best form for the Melbourne Cup and that has often proven to be the case.
However....
Last year was no guide whatsoever.
And this year, the track bias suggests the form might be deceptive.
Thoughts?
The word is that Robert Pyman will take up a long term contract to become the new Sturt coach.
South Adelaide released a media release this morning:
Robert Pyman will advise the South Adelaide FC by the weekend if he intends to take up the option to continue his contract with the club for...

GLENELG midfielder Brett Backwell admitted he was in shock as the SANFL's highest individual honour was draped across his small shoulders last night.
And so- the latest entry to the...
Seems like the Crows are underdogs this week.
West Coast $1.60, Crows $2.25 on Unitab.
Get on!
(Premiership odds Sydney $2.60, West Coast $2.60, Crows $4.25, Fremantle $7.50)
I thought this might be of interest to those Crows supporters who also follow the SANFL.
