Holy Ghost's big o
Could we organise a movement where the crowd boos for the first 30 seconds of the game?

Obviously you don't want to not go at all as Sando and the players have done nothing wrong so you'd hate to penalise them.

Boo if you're against Trigg.

The players have been booing Trigg with their performances this year. I expect a hard statement on the weekend.

A couple of points.

Does anyone else think Wright Away is Jason Akermanis? You are the very definition of an agitator young man, and the only thing I have to say is - keep up the good work.

Secondly

Whenever I think of the word agitator I think of the Seinfeld episode The Reverse Peephole and Jerry's landlord Silvio.

"I don't like Mr Newman. He is an agitator....."

I didn't hear the radio interview but the AFC were obviously annoyed at Kennett and Chapman pretty much described him (publicly) as a shit stirrer.
To me it pretty much came across as anyone still pushing for answers is an agitator and their sole purpose of doing so is to try and harm the Crows further. And so if you care about the Crows, you won't be an agitator and you'll stop asking questions.

What a load. So it goes like this; accept our decisions or you're an idiot. Great logic.

Thank your lucky stars we have these people who we can put our unquestioning faith in.

One thing - if people are planning to reduce their membership level, or not renew at all, make sure you actually make it count by making the club aware of it. If enough people do it and make enough noise, it'll become a media story, and at that point the club can't just dismiss it as a couple of "agitators".

That Trigg interview was extremely poor. I'm not happy at all with it. He'd want to be a hell of a lot better at managing an organisation than he is at answering interviews because that was pretty damn awful.

Now that's just my interpretation of what he said. When he was using the agitators line, he wasn't/didn't mentioning any specifically. Others may have taken it differently.

Seriously, I reckon I've used the word agitator twice in my 27 years on Earth and in the last two days I've used it about twenty.

I am up for this. Everyone who is against Trigg can do whatever they are comfortable with.

A mass no show on Saturday night would be interesting.
I flagged something like this at the start of the year as a protest - it shouldn't hurt the Crows financially, but it looks very embarassing and gives the SANFL an almighty kick in the teeth as they lose revenue from food sales, etc.

If the boys put in another insipid effort like the last home game against the Swans, it's not like I'll be missing much anyway. That game was so awful, one of the former mods here & I walked out just after three quarter time - the only other time that happened was the 1994 Hawthorn massacre. If the players look like they really don't give a crap and don't want to be out there, why should we?

The following article states:

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...-a-second-chance/story-fnia3xzy-1226672262352

HE is not concerned his career path to the AFL administration is now blocked by the Tippett saga.
If Trigg is considering a path to the AFL administration, this clearly represents a conflict of interest with his role as CEO of the Crows. As it's been stated previously, Trigg has not been standing up to the AFL for years when the Crows have been handed various punishments/restrictions over the last several years. If this situation is not a cause for concern for Crows Members, I don't know what is. Clearly this is grounds for Trigg to stand down from any role at the Crows.

As there has been discussions about the Crows and Power becoming independent of the SANFL, is this bringing closer the possibility that the Crows will be run by the Members? Needs to happen now.

1. Trigg should have walked away if he had any business morals.

2. Just demonstrates that the Board are implicit in the whole mess & need to be cleaned out too.
Could not agree more. When I heard that the Board wouldn't accept Trigg's resignation.....for goodness sake.

Jobs for the old boys, nothing more.
