Its Time For Trigg To Resign.

[Mike Smyth]

I am going to get a T-shirt made up at hindley street hopefully, but for the future http://www.cafepress.com.au/ make t-shirts and you can get them to print stuff on them, they are good quality American Apparel T-shirts too, not sweat shop bangladesh t-shirts.

At worst, just get a white t-shirt and a permanent marker and write agitator on it.

I am getting "Pathetic" crossed out then "Agitator" written underneath it. Like this:

Also if anyone wants to use this as a avatar:

That tshirt would look better if you had the word "supporter" crossed out and replaced with "Agitator".

Would love nothing more than the chance to have a say in things so we can start feeling positive about the club again. As long as this bullshit continues, we are headed absolutely nowhere. It took years of blind optimism for me to come to this. It's against your cultural conditioning as a supporter. You look for personnel and coaching problems, not other areas of the organisation.

I say this seriously, right now we are in a worse position than any other club in the AFL. Melbourne included. Even they've started cleaning staff out. We are on the cusp of something absolutely disastrous, right now. And it's unacceptable, our club is BETTER than this. We need action.

I think Essendon might have us covered - it's close though.

Even their CEO took responsibility and stepped aside when he likely had sweet FA to do with their current situation.

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 don't think I've ever used it outside of describing a washing machine.

Is there a link to the "agitator" interview?
Even though I do believe all the posts, it is one of those hard to believe unless you hear it yourself type things.

The buck stops with the Agitators?

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.

I disagree - I don't think that a Club run by its members only functions properly because there are too many knee-jerk reactions, irrational thoughts and the whole process becomes one of populism - one only needs to look at the standard of political discussions in the community to see how base it all becomes.
Just listen to the talk-back radio after a loss and/or our own big footy forums to see the level of most analysis.

Nevertheless, I do think that members should have more say than we have now (virtually nil). I would prefer to see at least a couple of directly elected board members.

Okay so I started a petition:

http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/afc-uncompromising-inclusive-proud?

I can edit the details so I would appreciate people's input.

Also I can set it up so that Trigg or Chapman get an e-mail every time someone signs it.

Wow that is the complete opposite of seeing things in rose-coloured glasses..... "worse than any other club"???

IMO we are and still will be better off than most other AFL Clubs despite the loss of 2 more draft picks.

I've got no problem with Trigg resuming as CEO and I still consider him as one of the better CEOs in the AFL - I just only hope that he and the whole Club change their approach and start standing up to the AFL and being more aggressive in their stances with the AFL, SANFL and every other "opponent". Even if in the end it is only for perception. Our history shows that being nice only means that you get used and trodden on.

Johnny, I can't help but think that Trigg is (was?) more worried about securing a future within the AFL hierarchy, than fighting for what's best for the Crows.

Wright Away I'd replace slob with knob but very nice

You can think it but you'd be incorrect.

I heard it was the IOC for him next...... But to get there he'll have to build from the ground up again as they are trying to eliminate corruption from the IOC..... Looks like we'll have him for a while.

I'm not sure we should take your word for it

Whether he was or not , I don't know , but my thoughts are that the AFL would be a much better run organisation with him in it rather than Vlad and some of his cronies (such as ex- Anderson).
My opinion is that had people like Trigg & Bucky Cunningham served on the AFL then it would not be the mess it is now.

I still believe we were shafted by the AFL (and shafted ourselves too with the ludicrous agreement) for what in my book were minor offences.

I'm not sure I care.

 

[Elite Crow]

I'm not sure I care.

I'm sure Jenny I've seen you post on a few occasions you're going to leave this topic alone. You're too close to Trigg for us to view your posts as anything but defending a friend. You'll never be able to convince most of us so why bother?

 

[Sanders]

I'm not sure I care.

Yeah you are

This board has produced some absolute gold in the last 48 hours.

On a smugness scale of 1 to Kevin Rudd where does Triggy sit?

Hard to say, but Kev has been known to refer to Triggy as Sensei in Mandarin
