Anyone verify the talk that Walsh's disciplinarian & autocratic ways are making him some enemies at Karparkistan?
Entirely possible, someone reported on the Crows board that a number of key players were quite "loose" at a fancy new Adelaide bar the other night. I'm guessing Welsh's elite standards are a work in progress.

KW2. My wife was there to witness but didn't really nominate any bad behaviour, just noted that they were all there.

Reports Reilly with a fractured skull in hospital! Fuark!
Geez .. Fractured Scull .. not good
Adelaide veteran Brent Reilly has been taken to hospital after suffering a fractured skull during training on Monday morning.
Reilly, 31, was diagnosed after arriving at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where he had been brought by ambulance. The Crows released a statement saying that Reilly had received medical attention on the scene, and is now conscious, with surgery set for later in the day.

Aren't we meant to boo him for faking an injury or something?
One thing I've noticed about this board - we respect all opposition players.
Good luck to Brent.
Yep - just because we don't like the club he plays for, it doesn't give anybody the right to disrespect a player. Let's hope he makes a full recovery.

Bad luck to Reilly, hopefully not as bad as it sounds.

I really don't understand how it would happen. Were they not issued motorcycle helmets to wear at training when they got their special training shorts.

hate to say it, but I think that could be the end of Reilly's career, this year probably would've been his last anyway. he only managed ten games last season, is 31 and an impending free agent, don't be surprised if he announces his retirement

I saw Reilly at the new KW2 rooftop bar on Saturday night. Nice place apart from being full of Crows players.

A fractured skull is pretty scary. Hopefully it's just a minor one and he recovers quickly.

I saw this as well at KW2. They absolutely were not behaving in any way inappropriately. Not even a little bit.

Fair enough, seems odd that a supporter would make the kind of claims they made about their own side, but I guess the oldies get a little bit sensitive when they see their "nice boys" having a few quiet ones.

Why don't you marry him if you love him so much #stermypls

His posting style was pretty unbearable a lot of the time, regardless of how right or wrong he was. Anyone who says "ya dig?" either in earnest or sarcastically is a f***wit.
Silent Alarm is the epitome of the Gen Y phuckwit.
