Mark Haysman says thanks Crows for the extra 100k on his current employment contract.
To do sales in the small states for a beer company........you are taking the piss aren't you. He withdrew from the process? And you believe that.

That folks is the last time we will hear of or from Mark Haysman

The only time we will see him is at Showdowns when we play his and his families team

4 pages about OUR new CEO in a couple of hours and all the usual "must've been the last man standing" routine promptly performed. Don't ever change.

Good luck on the weekend.
Thanks for popping by. Please remind us which group of supporters the 'last man standing' nickname for a new off-field signing originally came from? Thanks in advance.

General AFL thread.

Please provide a running sheet of what's acceptable to discuss xoxo
If it walks like Bay 13 and it talks like Bay 13 then it's Bay 13. If there's some wit, or some substance, or some general reason to discuss something here then fine.

Only if you like Mrs Brown's Boys.
Fine. I'll do my best tribey impression, then.

The obsession of Port Power Est 96 [sic] from the wilfully uninformed (read: ignorant) proletariat that occupy the space in society knows as the 19th man is simply pathetic. After taking one sip from their FUIC, they take a breath and in that very same breath they deny us our history while attempting to claim all of the historic fruits of the state they preside in which they have no right to claim.
"You are Port Power, you have no right to claim the Magpies you killed them," they begin. "Why the hell can't we wear the state guernsey? It's our state and our history." They ask.

Only in #fruchoctopia could a persons identity be so hypocritically backward.

I listened to Fagan's introductory speech, and I'd be worried if I was a Crows fan. Sounded exactly like Trigg - talking about 'the business' and 'the football side' 'outcomes' and all that stupid focus group garbage that the Adelaide board would lap up. The fact that he's never played professional sport at any level but is a career sports administrator tells you what the AFC believes is most important - and it isn't fan engagement with their CEO and building a club, but ticket sales, corporate sponsorship and 'best practice' garbage that sounds good in a powerpoint presentation.

Make no mistake - they went and got someone outside of the AFL because no one inside the AFL would allow the board to dictate to the CEO what should and shouldn't be done in a football sense - which is the most important role the CEO of a footy club undertakes. He's always going to be going to guys like Ricciuto and the rest of the board for advice on that, so really, he's just a puppet with a decent CV who gets trotted out to the media and parrots whatever the AFC board wants him to say. Like I always knew he was going to be.

The funniest thing is the Adelaide fans think it's going to be a new beginning. Wait until they realize the truth that Fagan NEEDS the old boys network around because he doesn't have a network of his own.

Frighteningly accurate. The T-1000 walks among us.

Of course, much like the posturing in the Port v Hawthorn preview thread on the main board, we won't know anything until it all plays out. Wishful thinking isn't analysis. I reckon people need to keep their powder dry on this one until there is actually something to stir about.

Firstly, and least importantly, you're greatly underestimating how much money Mark Haysman would be making at Carlton & United.

In regards to the bolded, you're so far off the mark that it's not funny.

Be honest.
