Roast Olsen and the board.

We’ve won 3 AFLW flags

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Here’s a couple of examples

Nope. Was talking about the recent person appointed to the board that comes with no relevant experience.

Was commenting on Roo not Balme

“integrity, risk, governance, leadership and managing a very diverse workforce”. How did we ever do without Stevens is the question we need to be asking ourselves.

I would trade all 3 for a 3rd round pick in next years draft.

 

[Jarman3]

Sleeping with a teammates partner will do that.

Hey Wayne Carey did that and still managed to find another club to pick him up.

But his white powder was after he retired.

Slight difference in ability though...

According to the latest article on Code Sports while Roo is off the board he's remaining a part of the list management committee.

 

[Multiballz]

Well, why do you think they’ve done it? They must have valid reasons, even if a few of you can’t see it. Is it because of his connections? Because of his experience leading a police force? His general life experiences? His popularity with the public after Covid?

What skills should a Crows Board member exhibit?

The ability to arrest idiots should they repeatedly make poor decisions?
Sounds like a perfect fit.

So he is now an unpaid employee?

Needs to let go.

Surely you understand that the vast majority of supporters do not care about the AFLW team. Their premierships, to most, are nowhere near equivalent to the AFL team winning. And I don't think you do the progression of the team/league any favours by ramming it down peoples throats as if they're idiots for not recognising the premierships as equal.

What do you mean by "unpaid", Roo was always going to transition to a paid role.

Where has that been announced?

 

[1970crow]

Where has that been announced?

Why would they announce it? Staff would come and go all the time without us being informed.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Of course they would make such an important announcement. It's not like Roo is a nobody.

Have you got proof or just speculating?

Its amazing you find club success so hard to swallow.

I feel for you.

Proof isnt his strong suit.

“integrity, risk, governance, leadership and managing a very diverse workforce”. How did we ever do without Stevens is the question we need to be asking ourselves.

I think we should be prepared for a heap of reviews, that seems to be all Stevens can do.

From the media reports he has a disgruntled workforce, made poor selections on his senior positions, blown his budget and doesn't appear to be able to implement anything in the organisation.

I want success.

Here’s an example of one of our sides being successful

Not that success

brucetiki , you disliked this post. I’m interested as to which bit you disagree with? Surely not the level of interest, you only have to look at TV ratings and attendances. Best guess is the men’s team averages about 45k paying between $30+ per game, women’s would be what? 3k paying $10? I know you love it, but there’s nothing wrong with being realistic about its meaning to the vast majority of Crows supporters.

Might have already posted this, but the best and brightest don’t get to the top in these kinds of hierarchies. It’s the yes people that are politically savvy.

Your constant need to denigrate it is pretty ordinary TBH.

You dont enjoy it, thats fine, but thats where you should leave the discussion

 

[Peter Doherty]

Yup but clearly two posters were talking about the lack of success in the male team.

Here is the post Bruce was replying to...

My general life experience is suffering through a club that hasn't won a flag in nearly 30 years.

Seems pretty fair to bring up 3x AFLW flags.

You're wrong to suggest Bruce was trolling. Bruce genuinely likes AFLW and by reminding people of this success, Bruce is adding to the conversation, it's not a troll.

It's not something that is front of mind for me personally and it's a fair point to bring up.
