Muffin time

[feenix67]

The CrowCast crew have been invited down for a mid season chat with Fages so, as usual, we'd like to throw open a thread to find out what people want to know.

We've engaged the Marvel Stadium Behavioural Management team to monitor the thread, so any stupid questions, name calling, general raucousness or flat out booing will be dealt with by a public shaming, grabbed by the ear and dragged straight down to Gils office for a please explain

Thread will close this Friday night

City redevelopment will it be a “club”

 

[Scorpus]

Are Legacy and Adelaide Bite delivering additional revenue to support the Crows main venture, the AFL team, or are they cost neutral/losing money?

 

[Betts are off]

Does the club and the Edwards family have any ongoing friction after Jackson's delisting?

Why did Legacy let all of its good Lol players go, including import Mimic who then won the premiership with Bombers?

What is it exactly that Brett Burton is doing on a day to day basis given a combination of Reid, Saunders and Pyke seem to have supplanted him.

 

[Scorpus]

Is there any truth behind the Bryce Gibbs gambling debt rumors? Specifically, is this a contributing factor to his omission from our team this year and/or his poor form?

Beat me to it. Sensitive question though seeing they searched all of Australia and the best was in our back yard.

 

[Squiba]

What do you believe is the main reason behind our markedly improved injury list this year, as opposed to 2018?

Do we currently have any plans to be involved heavily at the trade table this off season, or are we most likely to take our assets to the draft? (Given we have been heavily vested in the draft post the Gibbs trade)

 

[AFC3000]

With the soft cap on football spend, it's reported only one club is over the cap... Would we be a club that is willing to overspend if there was an opportunity to improve our football department and pay the tax? and I guess what would it take (profit?) to be willing to pay it? Or does the club (like most others?) just think it's not worth it?

What are they doing to make Adelaide as a club more attractive to potential staff with no previous connection to the state?

I believe the We Fly As One membership strategy is a good one, will the club try and get out ahead of the AFL audit "fake members" stories this year? (I've noticed official AFL/media articles that will "*includes free members" our count, but not do the same for other categories that wont be counted)

 

[Thetrader15]

1. Does P&L really matter to a footy club when you know the AFL will just throw money your way if you are in fiscal trouble? Wouldn't you be better off just spending as much as possible on the footy dept to get a flag?

2. Are there any *cough* Brodie *cough* big fish you are talking to *cough Grundy *cough* about a long term contract

3. Is the club going to change it's salary distribution approach and pay more for stars, as it would appear we haven't been successful with the current strategy...No Fages, success = flags, not finals

 

[relapse]

How important do they believe the need is to have a permanent social base for their supporters?

If they are unable to provide one at the new location (due to the restrictions imposed by the ACC) then is there any truth to the rumour that the club is considering the purchase of The Caledonian Hotel? If so would this then become a social base for AFC supporters and members?

 

[dogs105]

Good questions, which have no chance of being answered.

 

[spenze]

Is Brett Burton the new Phil Harper

Also, can you change the name of the thread, I started to think it was Bigfootys first adult thread, undid my belt for no reason, none.

 

[Vhaluus]

Does he regret interfering in list management decisions by telling them to 'get it done' regarding the Gibbs trade? Does he think that is appropriate for his non football position and being a relative newcomer to AFL.

Yep, ask that.




That will end the muffin junkets.

If they're only tiptoing around and asking softball questions does it have any value anyway?

 

[Glenny83]

Can we expect any player signing announcements during the bye period?

Why did you (Fagan) agree with the fans when they stated that they wanted the song changed back to the original lyrics, to remove the "Known as the Adelaide Crows", and for the lyrics to go back to "we're the mighty Adelaide Crows", and then earlier in the year when we had the opportunity to change the lyrics with re-recording of club songs, nothing was done ?? Why ??

Lucky someone is willing to ask the important questions.

Some might see it as not important, but he said he wanted to do something about it last time he was asked, and then when the opportunity arose, nothing was done. It's more about telling the members one thing and then doing another.
