wouldn't mind seeing goals kicked from horseback. and maybe we can give the X man a real bow and arrow.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Not that is affects me but the SA Govt have announced that the Footy Express will be run free of (additional) charge this season

Next rule: kicking backwards is a 50 metre penalty.

Dont give the AFL any ideas!

It infuriates me the damage this muppet has done to the game in such a short period of time.

 

[OneGreatClub]

May they forever crash both on and off the field.. sfellow

 

[PAFC27]

I guess they’ll quickly march Olsen off into the distance now

“They are the Adelaide Football Club and I think we should support them if they want to come and do some of their training in and around the city.”

Tents. They could build tents. And have a camp in the city.

Camp Adelaide preseason postseason during the season! We’re very good at camps. The public can’t wait to see what really goes on at a crows camp.

Everybody wins.

Just because the ACC says no it isn’t dead until you hear it from Olsens mouth, he wasn’t planted there for a reason.

Not even a shed. Times must be tough when their propaganda rag takes the piss.

The story is by their 'urban affairs' reporter, not one of the sports numpties - maybe Col James isn't a Crows fan.

Time are tough, if the ACC were smart they’d milk them for all it’s worth forever and a day and give them some backend bit of the parklands that’s derelict..

 

[backtozero]

Just slap the chicken head logo on the side of a toilet block and let them kick the footy on the grass and be done with it.

Nothing in the parklands.
That seals it then........
Crows to use the Adelaide Oval precinct as HQ. No new buildings. Just use existing corporate facilities.

 

[Alyx]

You know it's coming. Olsen wasn't appointed for nothing.

Yep, they’ll get major project status and bypass the ACC. Rob Lucas is still treasurer.
