Patrick wilson remaining on the rookie list is interesting.

Ir appeared from the outside that he wasn't liked, but then got another year

Is that related to the depth of the draft or more about the other rookies fate?

Can only see it too be in our sanfl team

Hamish did say that the depth of the state leagues was low this year due to the mid-year draft. Might not see anyone else better than Wilson floating around currently.

 

[Mutineer]

Perfectly qualified to deal with our situation then

Also sports minister from 2007 to 2010 while essendon saga was 2011 to 2013 but facts and all...not so important

I confused her with another Kate, Kate Lundy OK.

And btw like Christopher Pyne Kate Ellis up until leaving Parliament was basically a "career" Politician the same as Pyne, i.e. Political staffer before being shoehorned into a safe seat. I rate them both at the same level [not very highly] and certainly not the kind of people I'd want as Chairperson of an AFL club with that type of backgrounds.

 

[Thetrader15]

Probably this ....would the club also look at him off Half Back ?

Maybe captain of the SANFL team

Wright going ??

 

[Thetrader15]

Wright going ??

Got to show Wilson he's developing!

The *main* thing we need at the moment is someone good at politics - understanding how to get and exercise power. The only way Chappy is going to go is if he gets shoved out *by the current board*. I am totally not sold on her long term but she seems most likely at the moment to be able to get what we all want ie sackings.

Interesting we have Murphy and CEY also on the Rookie list .....upgrade them I assume

 

[the universal]

She’s more than qualified, any numpty on here who thinks otherwise either has their blue coloured glasses on a bit too tight, or they think women should just stay in their lane (towards the kitchen)..

In FAITH's world, a man's qualified, but a woman is only ever a token appointment. [insert something something gender card, "I hate AFLW and I will tell you again for the umpteenth time", "I love the Liberal Party"]

Didn't Murphy sign a 2 year contract extension mid year. I thought that would mean the intention is to elevate him to the senior list

 

[1991firstgamer]

Hey guys, tough times at the Crows it seems.

Remember the club will always survive and the tide will turn. In 2014 we had a the worst senior coach of the century cause our captain (I can’t even stomach writing his name), Cooney, Shaun Higgins walk out.

The result of this pinch point in time was that the club immediately realised the coach had spurned the playing group and rightly sacked him.

We got a fresh coach, some fresh faces, a fresh attitude and two years later had a flag.

Moral is embrace and encourage the sh*tstorm!

Out of interest who was the capt

A Sports Minister that was overseer of the Essendon/James Hird/Stephen Dank/Dean Robinson drugs debacle?

It’s ok to have women in positions of power, mate, Mummy will still roast on the weekend

If he has, IMO that guarantee's his elevation ....hard to see Murphy signing on for 2 more years on the Rookie list

I don't think you can sign for more than 2 years on the rookie list

Let's assume he's elevated and Hunter goes

 

[1991firstgamer]

Pyne is super qualified for the position as annoying as he is
But he's not female and pretty so no nominations I guess...

No. He's not.

Agree totally.

Post long lunch Rumour from a friend from Norwood

Jacobs may be going back to carlton.

Doesn't sound likely to me

Sounds right

 

[chazwazza]

Oh man. I would absolutely love Pyne to be our Chairman. That would be glorious. He’d fix things good and proper.

He’d be spending too much time in the changerooms.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Where you been? Just heard?

 

[xchadders]

7 news here just said both crouches want out. I doubt it though

It has zero to do with gender, I hold ALL career Politicians in low regard and that's what both Pyne and Ellis were basically.
Political staffer [generally a young Labor or Liberal member prior] straight into a safe seat is half the reason our Political system is so ****ed up currently and IMO certainly not the credentials I'd prefer for Chairperson of an AFL club, but each to their own. And btw I detest Pyne with a passion.

What's the current contract status on the bros. Crouch?

<EDIT> Answer my own question ...

Contracted until end of 2020
Brad Crouch

Contracted until end of 2021
Matt Crouch

Are they correct? (from another thread)

This could be good. Force us to bottom out and add elite talent in one off season.

 

[morris086]

So round 1 next year the team will be:

B Kelly
Hb

C Wilson

R

Hf
F

Int Pick 3/4 Pick 21 Pick 26 Pick 98

ive heard good things about pick 98, hopefully he has a big pre season and can make a play for Wilsons starting spot.
