Adelaide's decline

[port_adelaide_1870]

Pretty poor form from Hugh there. The only reason he even has an AFL career is because the Crows plucked him from a failing basketball career. His actions on the field should do all the talking, that’s just a cheap shot.

Roo had a go at him, he responded on field. Fair play. Don’t want him to respond don’t pot him to begin with

One thing we know for sure, the Adelaide crows are one of the most delusional sporting clubs/supporter bases on earth

Pot kettle lmao

One thing we know for sure, the Adelaide crows are one of the most delusional sporting clubs/supporter bases on earth.

Many people (including myself) have been argued with Crow’s about one particular problem for years now and this problem is still bloody there! This will ensure the Crows disaster will continue for years to come...

How can Justin Reid still be in charge of the list????

Incredible!!

He has gutted the place and still holds arguably the most important job at the club!

Look at this:

Team Reid-

Hamil McAsey Seedsman
Milera Doedee keys
Gallucci Jones McHenry
Davis Himmelberg Murphy
Wilson Fogarty Crocker

Frampton Gibbs Poholke Stengle

That’s the entire list of players who have been brought in under Reid, played an AFL game and still on the crows list. (I’ve highlighted the ones who aren’t even good enough to crack into this atrocious crows team.)

In the meantime Reid has given up to opposition clubs:

Pick 10 2017
Pick 17 2017
Pick 19 2018
Pick 11 2019
Mitch Mcgovern
Charlie Cameron
Alex keath
Sam Jacobs
Eddie betts
Josh jenkins
Hugh greenwood
Cam Ellis-yolmen
Jake Lever
Jarryd Lyons
Ricky henderson


Crazy stuff! Still manages the list this guy!

And people reckon that Dodoro is no good at Essendon. His dad was former Head of Football at the club, so he is going nowhere. Another job for the boys.

As opposed to the whack Roo gave him on the way out and as recent as last week?
Fair game for mine

Geez I feel for Nicks. Pretty insipid fortnight from the crows. Always expected a drop off this year but they still have some quality at the top end

I'm not sure you help your cause when your midfield coach starts labeling 0 gamers as 'elite'.....................

Had a good team and got lucky winning his only sanfl premiership as a coach

His actions on the field did do the talking. Was better than any Crows midfielder today.

Just about every team will go through a really rough patch, they'll come through it if they hold themselves truly accountable from top to bottom regardless of the reasons.

Having said that, surely this needs its own Riccuito melt thread maybe?

Lever - didn't play
McGovern - 2 goals - won by 2 points
Cameron - 1 goal - won by 30 points
Keath - 1 goal - won by 24 points
Betts - 2 goals - won by 2 points
Jenkins - didn't play
Greenwood - 0 goals - won by 53 points

Cumulative 6 goals - all winners
vs
Adelaide - 4 goals - lost by 53 points

not forgetting
Lyons - 25 touches - won by 30 points
Ellis-Yolmen - 16 touches - won by 30 points

Watching that today - and they could have been six goals down in the first ten minutes - made me wonder what is the shortest coaching appointment of all time? Excluding caretakers. They were ****ing trash.

 

[Tig017]

Kane Cornes chips in too

 

[Tig017]

More ex-Adelaide players having a laugh.

 

[The 747]

There is a lot of talent in that top 12, but it is hard not to look at that list of players and think Chayce Jones is probably the worst (admittedly we have not really seen Rankine play yet).

Oh I forgot about him. Might be an idea not to give them any more concessions in the draft now.

There was a bay13 thread for ex carlton forwards to outscore carlton, i think its due for a crows one.

Then you should take his advice and ...
“find another club to support”

This is the cause of all their problems. This statement alone and what comes with it and how it came about

More ex-Adelaide players having a laugh.

So it is reasonably safe to say the former Adelaide players didn't like what Ricciuto said.

Yep agree

Grace in victory is something all players should strive

You must be kidding. He threw out a cheap shot, and got back what he deserved. Whilst I had no problem with decision to let go of Hugh, he did not need to say what he said about Hugh.

They fired their head recruiter for rather questionable comments about Aboriginal players.

so like Jenga one piece is removed and the whole thing collapses? I don’t thank so

Perfect response after hammering the club whose senior power broker when public with some disparaging comments about him in the previous week

A head recruiter is arguably more important than a senior coach

I'm amazed it took until page 2 for a Richmond fan to chime in with this. I guess there's a first for some things (although some Richmond fans still want to make it all about them).

Yeah it's been nearly 3 years...I mean it was fun for me but it's getting a bit old.

 

[Nebular]

Pretty much, although it dates way back to when Stephen Trigg was CEO, the guy that didnt last 18months at Carlton.

We don't really have a heart/soul, we're run like a business that's had the same stubborn people in charge that cannot get removed. It was a matter of time before it blew up, Richmond just happened to fast track it.

I couldn't believe it when you guys employed Trigg back then.

If you can't take the heat..then stay out of the kitchen Roo

People keep reacting to Ricciuto dumping on ex-players. I was shocked to learn he's running the club. I'm sure he does a great job at the Alma Hotel but he's a complete thickhead (as accurately depicted on AFL Front Bar) and you wouldn't want him within 100 Malcolm Blight torps of your footy department.

Club rebuilding starts off-field. Pick a good board and CEO, who in turn pick good people in the footy department. Nicks is probably a fine coach but surrounded by dickheads and thickheads he won't complete his contract.

To wit: look at Gold Coast over last 3-4 years. Cleared out the old management, cleared out the coach, cleared out the list. Takes awhile but pretty obvious Crows need a root and branch makeover as well.

Doesn’t run the Alma anymore, sold it to walker...why do you think he has never been traded or delisted, let alone dropped
