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

Who are our 4? Godden Mattner, Hart and?

 

[Elite Crow]

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

Sheesh.

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

 

[jackster83]

Clarke

Seriously you have one or the other it's bloody common sense

Guess you can ask silly questions though if you like

On SM-G965F using BigFooty.com mobile app

The notion of underspending one year and overspending the difference the next year without incurring a tax on said difference isn't so radical as to be outside the realms of possibility.

FFS, we always go on about making people more accountable and responsible. In addition, the less involved, the less possible mixed messages.

Well guess what. This decision solves both these problems.

More than happy with it and some on this board carry on like Henny Penny at times.

Do you believe the club?

Great move by the AFC, no senior assistent will be our excuse for 2020.

 

[jackster83]

I can live with the lack of a senior assistant, at this stage of our rebuild.

The big one for me is the head of football role. They absolutely, 100% cannot afford to get this one wrong. Our next decade depends on this appointment. Spend the frickin' money already.

I can live with a bee-guarder as Head of Football for a while, if we fill the position with the right person in 2020. Trouble is, no-one of the right calibre is likely to be available before end 2020 so we'd be 12 months with the position sort of vacant.

Assistant coaches? OK everyone gets a year but they're on notice, and we use the year to sound out and recruit the right people. The club won't say that in public and neither should they; no good can come from the world and the media knowing that's the situation (even if it's obvious).

 

[GreyCrow]

The AGM should be rocking next year

Q: Was Scott Camporeale given a new contract in the review period? If so why

Q: What were the total payout figures for those staff that left? Did this impact our decision making going forward?

Q: Why the hell are you still Chairing this meeting?

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

[Johnny Rutten]

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

Oh dear... is he still at it?

 

[GreyCrow]

Oh dear... is he still at it?

Nah . he is only catching up on Barretts drum beat from a month ago

Busy boy is sammy

 

[Cap]

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

It's time for the AFC to grow some balls and call him out.

AFC built his career.

Brad Crouch was "desperate" to get out of Adelaide in trade period: McClure

Brad Crouch desperately wished to leave Adelaide and join Gold Coast.

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

 

[SuperBashBros]

What probably happened with Brad Crouch is his manager knows last trade period was a good opportunity to get Brad a really good contract offer a year before free agency and just coming off an injury free, best and fairest year.

Set the price to $1 mill a year. Clubs said, you have to be joking...so he came back with $800k for 5 years.

McClure, as he always ****ing does with anything Adelaide, took small grains of truth and winds the sensationalism upto 100.

Hes a cockroach. I hope Brad signs before round 1 and gives him the finger.

 

[Drewie11]

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

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.

 

[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.
