Is the better option just accepting an incompetent friend of yours is running the club?
He ****** up over the Tippett contract, but he's done lots of good things too. Guess the bendigo bank thing happened by itself yeah? At some point in your life you have to accept inevitable things - taxes, death and that people make mistakes and you just have to get over it. You keep hating on him eats away at you until your nothing but a bunch of sunburnt skin filled with hate and pus.

Is whinging about them and behaving like petulant toddlers going to bring them back? :rolleyes:
Get over yourself Jenny.

Trigg has not only handicapped us making success even harder, he has brought the stain of cheating to the AFC. A stain that never comes out.

If you, or I, or anybody else not in a protected boys club like him did something of that magnitude, we would find ourselves unemployed.

What he did was unforgivable, If he doesn't like being criticised for it.. Poor ******* diddums.

Take your blinkers off.

Like what?

Apart from the Bendigo Bank sponsorship, what else has he done?

This is your chance to now convince me. Use your persuasive writing skills to convince me and others he is worthy of my praise.

Over to you.

I have no idea how he feels about childish rantings of people in here.

Seriously though, what he did was a mistake. He was very lucky to keep his job, but he did. It's a fact of life, just as the boys club is a fact of life within footy clubs. James Hird oversaw a program where his players were pumped full of experimental and off label drugs! yet he'll be welcomed back into the fold at the end of his suspension. In fact, they love him so much they gave him an extension! There's your boys club right there! Compare what Trigg did (**** up with ONE players contract) to that of Hird. Perspective. Triggy was very bloody lucky to keep his job and I know he is wanting to make amends. Maybe in time he'll win you over, maybe not.

No. He has done lots of good things for this club in his tenure. That you refuse to see it can't be helped. The bendigo bank one is easy to point out because it's current. I don't expect you to praise him. Just judge everything he does on it's merits, and not by fabricating or twisting things to suit your stance.

So tell me what they are?

No doubt that the same problem exists at Essendon but that's just it... It's a problem.

They should both have been sacked. One does not excuse the other.

He had a chance at getting some respect back by doing the honourable thing and falling on his sword, but he refused to. (do not give me the 'wouldn't accept his resignation' bullshit - they aren't forcing him to work at gunpoint). He chose to hang around like a bad smell and this is the result.

Anything good that happens for the club will be in spite of Trigg, not because of him.

That's a ridiculous statement.

Enjoy making things up? Those who want Trigg gone know there is no way we will influence the club.

As for the 2012 prelim, imagine had we gone on to win the flag with a player we secured illegally? Tainted flag much? What would the AFL have done?

Glad you can be so blasé about draft picks, the life blood of any club.

And it's not just this **** up why we want him gone. Falling memberships, crowds, profits, respect, insulting comments towards supporters, lack of success and incompetence are all reasons we want him gone. **** just two weeks ago he ****** up the jumper fiasco.
Hit the nail right on the head there, Elite Crow.

Many of our supporter base don't quite fathom just how much Trigg's incompetence has ****ed us over. There are FAR too many pro-Trigg people on the Adelaide Crows fan pages on FB for instance. We all make mistakes TRUE, but this wasn't some grad in a bank who didn't finish a project in time. His incompetence and role in those Tippett deals has most likely cost us a shot at a flag in the next four-five years. Yes, we still have a pretty good squad but we need a hell of a lot to go our way if we're to still be a shot. It would just be so much easier if we had those 5 picks handy (yes, I'm counting the pick 8 Brisbane offered for Tippett). Why, with the full knowledge that we had a dodgy deal on the side, didn't just do that trade is beyond me. We very well might have gotten away with it.

No, we won't just "get over it". He simply just shouldn't have done what he did and that should have been obvious at the time. He should be long gone as a result. Other than getting a good sponsor on board, what KPIs has he actually achieved? Profits/crowds/memberships/flags have all not improved or have gotten worse.

No it's not. It is a childish tantrum saying "I'm not gonna like anything he does even if it's something good, so there!"
No, it's saying that he has caused deep harm to the club putting us in a huge hole that we have to climb out of.

Putting a shovel full back in and wanting to be praised for it is ******* pathetic.

He has quite possibly cost this club a premiership or more.

If we do manage to drag ourselves up out of the hole and snag one I will not be praising him, I'll be praising those who didn't dig the ******* hole in the first place.

Who is asking you to praise him? Just ******* judge the things he does on their merits.

In my experience with Crows supporters, the Trigg hatred has spilled over from the sorts of people who keep up with the news and post on bigfooty to the general Crows supporting populace.

My wife and all my Crows supporting friends can't stand him, even if they couldn't give a blow by blow breakdown on why he should be given the arse. He's definitely done enough for your average supporter who doesn't care that much to dislike him.

He has ****** up more than just the Tippett contract. I gave you a list but you dismissed it as hate. As for the Bendigo deal, you privy to the terms of that agreement to claim it as a success?

As for sunburnt skin filled with hate and pus, wtf? That's a sicko comment
