Rowe: "Who the dickens....?"

Bone: "This is a twist."

Rowe: "Rain on Port's parade. Please, sir, could I have some more?"

Bone: "Winter of discontent followed by a summer of content."

Rowe: "Who wrote that?"

Bone: "Dickens."

Caller: "Shakespeare, sort of."

Haysie has turned down their job offer.

Port for life.
I reckon he would have but I also reckon he provided a convenient smoke screen - Caro and Rooch went on about Haysie and someone with EPL experience but with an SA background. Floating Haysman to the local media had all the intrigue of controversy and would have kept them away from digging around for a rugby bloke.

Fagan has some impressive credentials. Looks like his first job post Uni was a decade at the Australian Sports Commission. He would have picked up plenty of intel on various sports, government financing and contacts. His time at the Brumbies was exaggerated by 5aa. They finished top the year before he took over and then finished 2nd in his last year as CEO with no other top 4 finish. He was CEO mid 2005 to end of 2013.

As bomberclifford said last night, he'd been told Haysman was outright offered the job, his current employer came back with a counter offer to keep him, and Haysman spent the weekend considering his options. Obviously he gave them a "thanks, but no thanks" and the crows went to their second choice.

Bad news for us. Haysman would've been a great ally in the fight against our common off-field enemies at the SANFL and SMA. It's funny to laugh at the Crows getting slops again, but this is one occasion where I wish that they'd gotten their man.
