choco is watching.....

from the 'tiser:

"The Power is also closely monitoring its crosstown rival Adelaide's rookies with coach Mark Williams saying he was keeping an eye on the 16 youngsters currently training with Adelaide and vying for one of the Crows' three available spots on their rookie list.

"The fact of the matter is they've (Crows) got all the money and they can afford the rookies," Williams said. "They can afford to give them nice clothes and things to wear at the start of the year.

"For us, it's a nice thing they can do all that and we can go out and watch and maybe pick some of those. We've got Dale Ellis as a rookie in his second year for us. If we can afford any (others) we'll try and get another one in."

Does Williams brain shut down if he ever stops complaining about something? The guys is a compulsive whiner. For such a poor club financially they certainly manage to find the money to take the cup around the state (and interstate) maybe he speaks with a little bit of a forked tongue.

i thought he was actually paying your club a compliment!

No just sinking the boot in as usual. They have all the money, he should go on stage as a comedian.

Backhanded compliment.

I read this and thought, what a n0b. He just can't stop whinging can he.

Posted this on the Paps board yesterday so might as well copy/paste it on here. =


:Mate if your club can't come up with the $$ for a couple of rookies let alone kit them out after the success you have had in winning a premiership then i would hate to see the players dress standard when the Port Power hit a couple of lean years in the not-to-distant future.

Had a chuckle myself when i read that article by Mark Williams also had another chuckle when i read that piece concerning a lame Budgie that landed on the hand of Kris Massie in this mornings Late Mail of the Sunday Mail sports section.

& knowing Chocko he would more than likely be out this morning with a packet of bird seed calling out "who's a pretty boy then" :

As someone said tongue in cheek is the order of the day.

I wouldn't worry Captain, as Choco is busking by playing (Grumpy) Santa & should raise some $'s to buy some extra training kits.

Someones got to love it !!

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Meh, to be expected that Port will be keeping an eye out on what we are doing, Im sure alot of other clubs are too.
Are they doing this whole Rookie camp thing out in the open in the view of the public? It would make more sense to take them away somewhere and do all this in private, why shouuld we invest all the time, money and effort?

Dont care for Chocko at all, he can say whatever he wants, he will still be a tosser in my eyes.

 

[GrandfinalGurus]

Might as well be himself !! (Sorry nervous 90s as far as posting goes!)

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

I wondered why Bucky, Stewie, Russell and Co. were so quick to get out of Alberton, especially considering they are a very good chance of going back to back. Now I know. Imagine how exhausting it would be dealing with this basket case day in day out. Also for someone with Buckies integrity and stature, it must be embarrasing having to lower himself to Chocos level.

That integrity and respect they crave just continues to evade them.

Wasn't that typical pathetic choco rubbish - all that garbage about the clothes and things, while trying to sound as poor as a Biafran church mouse??

The Crows didn't take half the club to New Zealand last year, and another rent-a-crowd to Tasmania this year. It looks like choco would rather keep the travel industry fat rather than add a rookie to the list!!

He can be such a pathetic creature at times.

Maybe he's after the sympathy vote then

Think he had this sort of attitude installed in him from the early days of the AFC when he was knocked back for a spot on the Crows original training list & it has just built up to where he can't seem to help himself from showing his distaste for anything tri-coloured at any given opportunity.

& boy does this sort of attitude appeal to the average Pap supporter or what ?? so i guess poor old Chocko is not really that poor at all just playing up to the feral masses & in some way helping to safe guard his own personal position within the Port Power.

This has nothing to do with what the AFC can afford or what PAFC cant it simply means..

Another quality post SpringChoke . Did it slip your attention that Bucky did all of the negotiation of Williams' contract this year? Why would someone put in such an effort to keep a coach that embarrasses him so much that it is his reason for leaving the club? That makes no sense whatsoever. Could it just be that after eight years as CEO, Bucky merely wanted a new challenge? Nah, it's Port, it can't be a simple as that. It must be because everyone thnks Choco is an embarrassment.

the fact that port is looking to poach some of the youngsters your club is investing in doesnt bother you?

choco's constant whinging is what i dont care about.

he must be one of those people who love the sound of their voice..

 

[Jars458]

Other clubs may also do it. Its a fact of life, so why should it bother us?

We have money to burn so the "loss" of the money is no big deal.

It's not always about the Paps ....... although you like to think it is

We can't draft them all Captain Ebert.......it's all about us having a good name/rapport with the youngsters - should they ever find their way back to Adelaide again. Some of these youngsters will get Rookie Drafted to Vic Clubs - but could be delisted in the future and be invited to train with our main group before the ND next year - Good PR I would have thought...... ....oh and also helping out the poor clubs who can't afford to put out some witches hats for a few young blokes to run around....

Good on ya Chocko. You have proven yourself to be a tosser in the highest esteem.

Typical Port mentality showing through.
