Excellent point - no wonder the team is disenchanted and the trust had been broken.
I dont think we thought we were weak, but players and coaches felt we needed to be tougher in big moments. Hard to argue really, but yes we do have a resiliant group.

My career has been about not listening or believing peoples utterances ....but to study behavior, which is well documented ...bit like studying body language
Well, since you’ve referenced it as something that gives you credibility, please enlighten us as to what your career is?

Some of you guys need to get a grip ....you criticise the accuracy of media reporting ....but then your negative outlook, allows you to believe the media hook, line, and sinker

My career has been about not listening or believing peoples utterances ....but to study behavior, which is well documented ...bit like studying body language

Firstly, I'm not saying the club was without fault! ......but things simply do not add up:

1. The media ...Crocmedia and Caro (rucci) have had a vendetta against the club for 12 months ....it's essentially a bullying campaign, where the bullied cannot fight back

2. The ongoing feel amongst players on gameday ...their performances, did not reek of a group distressed or fractured

3.No complaint has been made to the AFLPA ?

4. No player Manager has come out in the press ? .....a given you'd expect

5. Our leadership group have some very strong personalities, who would not have allowed anything untoward .....Sloane is Vice President of the AFLPA FFS

6. Young players these days will not be silenced or bullied to keep quiet :p

7. Given no-one (media) is accepting of club statements .....i would be pretty confident it's Fagan that has asked the AFL to bring the integrity unit in ....to put this to bed once & for all

8. Finally, you give me ANY statement & i can turn it into a negative

I've had a gut fool ......i won't be wasting 1 more minute on this shit......there's a deliberate attempt by the media to rip this great club apart .....and you're relishing it :mad:
Well i hope

Well if you are right, then the AFC could be set to receive a huge amount of money from the AFL media after they sue the bejeezus out of them for defamation.

Why the silence?.

Why not call AA this arvo and hose in down? Why not give a strong rebuke?

If we called in the integrity commission, why not say that?

It may well be a media conspiracy, but its the clubs poor messaging that has caused it.

That's an interesting debate ....and the heart of the issue ...but coming out now is a waste of time ....whatever the club says will be rebuked

But i applaud them bringing in the independent umpire in .....realistically the only solution

Just on this Jacobs stuff, I would be careful.

The first version I heard about that from the most reliable source was that there was a session about regrets and things you would change if you could and sauce pretty much brought it up himself.

The latest version was from a mate of a mate who's a sanfl bogan who said they ripped into sauce about what his brother would think about his GF. He also said they were forced to piss in a bucket and drink it.....

Needless to say what I told him to do with himself

But this is what happens when you don't put fires out. You let it burn for 9 months and of course a whole bunch of shit gets twisted around as rumours do the rounds and get some mayo added on.

Personally I can't imagine sauce would be here if Chocco's source had any cred

Talia’s speech at the B&F years ago was one of the main catalysts in us sacking Sando - he had the balls to stand up there and deliver some hard truths.

Christ I hope we have someone do the same tonight.
Anyone going? Will be an... interesting vibe.

It’s in your make believe world that we called in the integrity unit

If it did then I just dont see why youd agree.
I agree, which makes me think that this particular rumour is probably not true.
Cause if it was, I’d assume no player would actually submit to it, and secondly, we’ve got enough strong voices in our planning group to have spoken about something like that.

I could very well be wrong, but that particular one just seems too far fetched for me.

Responses in the quote;

Firstly, I'm not saying the club was without fault! ......but things simply do not add up:

1. The media ...Crocmedia and Caro (rucci) have had a vendetta against the club for 12 months ....it's essentially a bullying campaign, where the bullied cannot fight back

Why can’t they fight back? We are one of the most powerful clubs in the AFC - why can’t we respond?

2. The ongoing feel amongst players on gameday ...their performances, did not reek of a group distressed or fractured

Are you serious?

The massive gulf between our good and our bad alone suggests massive issues across the playing group.


3.No complaint has been made to the AFLPA ?

Was one made when Essendon ran a doping program?

4. No player Manager has come out in the press ? .....a given you'd expect

No, just McGovern leaving because he wants more money - if you believe that, you’re a fool.

The AFL is very insular, it’s not in McGovern’s interest to burn the AFC at this stage... although his manager did say multiple players were reconsidering their future at Adelaide.




5. Our leadership group have some very strong personalities, who would not have allowed anything untoward .....Sloane is Vice President of the AFLPA FFS

And yet, here we are?

6. Young players these days will not be silenced or bullied to keep quiet :p

Says who?

Again, refer Essendon and the doping campaign.


7. Given no-one (media) is accepting of club statements .....i would be pretty confident it's Fagan that has asked the AFL to bring the integrity unit in ....to put this to bed once & for all

What Club statements? They’re barely made any. And the ones they have made have either been meaningless, or contradictory.

8. Finally, you give me ANY statement & i can turn it into a negative

I've had a gut fool ......i won't be wasting 1 more minute on this shit......there's a deliberate attempt by the media to rip this great club apart .....and you're relishing it :mad:

Irrelevant

Club has lost the right to dispute fact from fiction

Media can come up with anything and there’s nothing we can do while we refuse to take meaningful action.
Absolutey agee.
Their failure to act means people can say anything, and all things negative will now just be attributed back to the camp regardless whether they’re actually connected.
