We win the flag this year, they really have nothing left.

They'll always have their narcissism.

They'll always have their narcissism.

And their hidden envy

And their hidden envy

Don't forget the massive chip on their shoulder

Don't forget the massive chip on their shoulder

And their fantastic camp

I reckon he will step down

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I reckon he will step down

That makes it sound like he is retiring.

It's from Crows News TM so that's about as official as it gets.

At least he is leaving on a high.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

I reckon he will step down

And so he should. But give it a year and the Adelaide boys club will forgive him and offer their support to poor hard done by Tex and give him a job on 5aa with Rowie.

Sorry if it has been posted already, but future Port Adelaide premiership player Kyle Chalmers had a go at Ted too:

Olympic gold medallist Kyle Chalmers weighs into Taylor Walker racism scandal

Olympic gold medallist Kyle Chalmers has weighed into the racism scandal surrounding Adelaide Crows’ forward Taylor Walker.

“I think he’ll struggle to get back into the AFL system really, or I would like to think so, because I just don’t think it’s appropriate,” Chalmers told the ABC.

Suits their brand I guess

retires. They are on the hunt to trade in an experienced ruckman.

Suns ruckman Zac Smith retires. They are on the hunt to trade in an experienced ruckman.

How experienced? Would Ladhams qualify? That could open up some interesting possibilities.

 

[Grave Danger]

I reckon he will step down

If he's been in Brokenill will he be allowed back into SA?

Special exemption surely.

Was very frustrating to watch him destroy us in every showdown but was otherwise a joy to watch. Fantastic player on the field and appears to be a good person off it.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Who couldn't like Eddie Betts? Fantastic highlights from this guy. Congratulations on a great career Eddie.

Ive loved Eddie Betts career but I certainly enjoyed 217 of his games a lot more than the other 132 games.

Is the loss of the Optus sponsorship confirmed?

From the Optus website today;

"One of the most loved teams in the AFL"

The Optus sponsorship ceases at end of season ... Until then, the above is correct. Clever semantics.

 

[JimmyBC]

He's been cooked for a few years now Eddie but his peak years at Adelaide where he just kicked goals from anywhere like shelling peas were insanely good.

 

[Valentino]

Butters needs to keep his hands to himself. No need for either action.

He is quite important for the team. Imagine getting suspended for that so preventing Boak or Gray winning a premiership.

Stupid.

He now has 4,000 reasons to change that behavior.

 

[Valentino]

Well that's your decision, but don't double down on your mistake by inflicting it on us as well by reporting back here.

I haven't been to the crows board in years, I thought it had been relocated to Tasmania.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Well, certainly better than last year’s.

 

[70sDinosaur]

Well, certainly better than last year’s.

4 wins and 71% compares poorly to Collingwood's 6 wins and 86% in 1976.

Last time North Melbourne won the wooden spoon they had Ron Barassi and a cheque book to rescue them. Don't think that's happening this time.
