Mini Tex is harsh on Tex. Sure Tex is overrated and cooked now but he was still a very good player in his day. Flogarty is an actual potato.

Blimey

Maybe the crers could use this as a pre-game song? Both sad & heartbreaking, which fits the bill perfectly for that soulless franchise

Tex has been a very good player and was an excellent team player for the Crows for a very long time.

Saying Fog is like Tex is an insult. He doesnt do 1/4 of the team stuff that Tex does/did.

Fog didn't create the dickhead culture that directly lost them players like Lever, Ellis-yolmen or Betts though.

The one long-standing tradition of the Adelaide Football Club fan-base has been blaming umpire decisions for losses. However, with 12 straight losses this season, some Crows supporters are even starting to question this well established fact with AFC devotees.
Adelaide Mail reporters spoke loud and clearly with typical Crows supporter, Rose Parque, a self described one-eyed (her good one) Crows fan. She stated ‘The first nine or ten losses, those were clearly the fault of the umpires. They’re biased against us, you know. But these last few games, I’m starting to perhaps possibly think that our players may somewhat be partially be to blame for our performance’.

‘But I’ll always love my boys no matter what. Rory’s my favourite, of course’, says Parque while adjusting her tri-coloured homemade seat cushion. Although it’s unclear which football-playing Rory is indeed her favourite, Sloane, Laird or the less popular choice, Atkins.

‘I’m sure we’ll start playing better again soon, especially when those bloody umpires open their eyes for a change’, said the legally blind woman.

We tried to ask Parque some follow up questions regarding how the Crows may come out of this slump, but she abruptly left three quarters of the way through our interview to beat the Beulah Park traffic.

There's always time for that

So Clarko, multiple Premiership coach, knows less than BF posters about how to play Chad?
Interesting.

Clarko this year has taken a team which on paper is chock full of talent to 16th. He has an undoubtedly excellent record as a coach but that doesn't make him infallible.

 

[Powerade 08]

Walker was awesome playing SANFL as a 17(?)yo. Fogarty will never be that good. He might not ever be proper SANFL standard.

A closer comparison is the NSW scholarship player we picked up - Jordan Johns (?).

 

[Harlott]

Correct. That would be 4 times premiership coach Alastair Clarkson.

Really? That escaped me. Even the 4 time premiership coach is doing stuff that is totally ruining a once in a generation talent. That doesn’t sit well with me.

 

[_VXV]

Haha Flog really is a mini Tex isn't he.

Like Tex he will struggle to maintain his standards his entire career.

He would be looking at Tex thinking all I need to do is meet his low standards of professionalism whilst playing the loveable larrickin and giving out a few cheap shots and I will be adored by the majority of the state and set up for life financially.

All we need now is him up in the stands necking a beer during the cats game.

Maybe, just maaaybe the coaches aren't the issue dude!

Its an Adelaide Mail article... you know what the Adelaide Mail is right?

 

[Grave Danger]

Aww, no more footy for 4 whole days after tonite's game





Funny thing is, SUNS are playing tonight and again on Friday

Primus was handicapped by a bankrupt football department.

Nicks is handicapped by a bankrupt list.

A Port premiership with a Crows wooden spoon would be massive for future membership.

Even Rowey said on 5AA this morning that they're a pathetic excuse for a football club. When one of your staunchest allies starts saying stuff like that, you know you're in trouble.

I don't think he's been on #godhatesfages Christmas card list for quite a while.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

They’ll spend Fogarty’s whole career believing that he’s actually good

 

[Alberton Proud]

Congratulations to Owen, who becomes a teenager next Sunday.

We'll celebrate with a few drinks on his Eighteenth later in the year !

I think back to the pre season and all the talk of Taylor Walker playing through the midfield this year. The guy can barely move. How was that ever a possibility?

In the T20 charity match he needed an oxygen bottle after bowling three deliveries off his shuffling 6 step run up.
