Hope not.
I want him chewing cap space until he’s 40.
I want him to go. Losing Sloane now would be like us losing Boak back in 2012, probably worse. He’s one of the few things they have that gives them something resembling a soul.
They gain more by keeping that sort of player around than losing him. You can load up with as many high draft picks as you like but if al they’re doing is collecting a pay cheque it rarely amounts to anything. Look at GWS.

I'll ask again. Where has that absolute fraud Andrew Fagan been throughout all this? Nowhere to be seen, head down in a bunker somewhere. What an absolute squib. When any sort of shit hits the fan at Port Adelaide it's Keith Thomas who places himself in the direct line of fire taking full responsibility.
Andrew Fagan. What an absolute useless, gutless piece of shit.
Barrett just asked this exact question on TFS..

Getting slammed atm on TFS...good viewing.

Shacke and boyd being pick 1 and 2 in drafts is amazing because wow are they mediocre
Watts, Schacke, Boyd, McCartin, Patton... the game may have reached the point where it just isn't worth spending high draft picks on KPF type players. Sure, one may make it every now and then... the same as one from the third round might too.

The week that the crows are having is probably on par as the week Port had when Marshall took compassionate leave, Hartlett did his knee and the whole SPP incident.

But Port handled it so much better. The Crows press conference was awkward and the chairman members statement wasn’t reassuring. They resign a key player, and it’s broken by the media rather than a press conference. If they we Port members, the administration would have been over turned by now.

Pykey dribbling about how "Gibbs coming over form Carlton, sitting 6-7, he's thinking how good is this!"
I mean...What a standard. Talk about winning. A poor soul comes from the epitome of rabble for the last 20 years and sitting 6-7 is good.
Talk about clutching at the absolute last piece of plastic straw.
I'm sure Triggy got into his ear.

The fake 'up and about bouncy' bullshit persona of Pyke in that presser is ******* borderline hilarious.
Burton about the camp "Good relationship for 2 years, had some really good results from it, would of seen in publicly stood in a presence stance"
...that's what they got out of that cult. A stance.
"I'm not going to go into any details" about 5 ******* times.
Fair dinkum. They really do treat their customers like ******* idiots and it's their own fault, they just twirl that tongue around it.

"Playing group that is happy"
hahahaha what a cracker.

Lynch signing would be bittersweet surely. They only had draft picks to look forward to. A disastrous year combined with signing over the hill players that chew up the salary cap lol!

Fages: Give the ranga what he wants cause Sloane is on his bike

2yo: It seems like bit of a smokescreen Daddy, to placate the masses following a somewhat underwhelming press conference, and demonstrated inability to keep our players fit and healthy and our form competitive, however it does have form in presenting a facade of solidarity and commitment to our customer base, so perhaps it is the most feasibly achievable positive development that can be mustered at this stage.

They've won 4 games against bottom 5 sides.
if this was us last season we'd never hear the end of that stat, oh wait, we've already been there.

Its dawned on me that outside of Higgins, Daw, Brown, Ziebell and Cunnington and Goldy I have absolutely no idea who the north players are. I don't even recognise their faces at all. May as be watching local football.

Bulldogs I'd know Bont, Boyd, Trengove, Daniel, Wallis, Morris but no idea who else and many of them are premiership favourites. If Morris didn't look like Dale Steyn I probably wouldn't now him either.
If you don't know guys like Scott Thompson, Robbie Tarrant and Sam Wright who are all 10+ year AFL players with 100+ games to their names, maybe you just don't watch that much football? ;)

"Adelaide is a nice place to live. The club does right by the players. The only reason you'd leave is to chase money. A money-hungry grub. We don't want those type of people at the Crows."
- dead serious co-worker to me rn.

So, of course, I pmsl and he goes all Joe Pesci on me.

"What? You think that's funny? What's so f@%kin funny?"

legit having a conniption roflmao
