Carey has a bit if the "reformed sinner" about him, he's certainly cleaned up himself and his image and is one of the more bearable commentators on ch7. Hird is looking like he'll never accept that he was in the wrong and take responsibility for his actions.
Well Carey could hardly pretend it didn't happen..... coming out of the bathroom with Steven's wife didn't help.....

Yep, because that makes it all better. Only a dickhead talks to women like that (unless they are into it).

Still wanna shake his agents' hand for the miracle of getting a prime time gig after doing that and being caught with coke in his apartment. That's some quality PR work and ass kissing right there.
Drugged up idiots do stupid arsehole things unfortunately. But yes putting a gun to someones head and threatening to kill them actually is less of a crime than pulling the trigger and doing the deed - by about 20-25 years according to the criminal justice system.

Crows Mid-Season Review by the termites under the carpet

Present: Rob Chapman, Andrew Fagan, Nigel Smart, Mark Ricciuto, Phil Walsh

RC: Thank you for coming - at 6 and 4 it seems a reasonably successful start to the season, Phil. Well done to Mark on outsourcing the coaching position. We are well on the way to returning to an AFL power.

PW: We're not the Power yet, Rob. There's a long way to go, and lots of challenges to be addressed.

NS: I don't care..

AF: NIGEL! I've told you to stop saying that. Now go into that room until I say you can come out!

RC: Thank you Andrew. Now, Phil. As I was saying, the boys seem to be going well. What is your assessment of the year so far?

PW: (deep breath) OK. Well, we started off well, beating North, Collingwood and Melbourne...

AF: Collingwood are a good team. I see that they're 4th.

MR: Errr.. they've had a soft draw, Andrew.

NS: (muffled) I don't care

PW: ...then the boys got a bit ahead of themselves and dropped a certain win against the Bulldogs, before being outclassed by Port.

MR: Arrr... they were ..ummm...lucky.

PW: We then bounced back to beat the Gold Coast and St Kilda; got ahead off ourselves again and lost for the first time ever to GWS, put in our best effort yet but still lost to Fremantle and just stumbled over the line against the Barker Blues...

AF: Are you cold Phil?

PW: No.

AF: Then STOP playing with your nipples. You're making everyone uncomfortable.

NS: I don't care...

RC: Thank you. So, Phil, looking at the ladder, we've played three top 8 teams and beaten one, lost to the 9th and 11th placed teams and beaten 5 of the bottom 7. How do you see the remainder of the season panning out?

PW: After the break we play Hawthorn, Brisbane, Geelong, West Coast then Port again...

AF: AGAIN? Rob, you need to talk to Gil again about our tough draw.

MR: Ehrm...We must beat...ahhh... Port.

PW: ..realistically, we'll be expecting to beat Brisbane. Then in the last few rounds we play Gold Coast and Brisbane again. If we can pinch a couple of other games and things fall our way, we may make the finals.

MR: Errr....ummm....ahhhh...

AF: Spit it out, Ricciuto. Don't they give you eloquence lessons at Triple M?

MR: Nahhhhh....

AF: #balance

NS: I don't care.

RC: OK, righto gents. Moving along, Phil, what about the players? Who's performing above expectations? Who's not making an impact or is injured?

PW: I don't talk about the individual. I'm only interested in team.
Eddie Betts has been far and away our best. If only he could play midfield, or get 20 possessions a game, like Winga....anyway. Laird surprises me - I thought he was a spud. Lever and Kelly have made good debuts. Our midfield has been decimated by injuries to Sloanedog, Crouchingtiger and Hiddendouglas. Tex needs to do more, but what a top bloke and character, ay? But again, I don't talk about the individual.

RC: OK Phil. To sum up then, even with the best draw Gil could arrange, you still only expect to finish in the bottom part of the 8 at best? What else do you need?

PW: I need DangerandSloanedogtostayasecondruckleadersrunnerstacklersdefendersmidfieldersforwardsnipplepiercings...

NS: I don't...

AF: NIGEL! You can come out of the closet now.

RC: Thank you, Phil. We'll talk to you again at the end of the year after the players tell us what they think.

PW: What a manconversation....

NUFC, YES.
North Melbourne drafted Daniel Wells for the pick they received for Carey (pick 2). You pick the winner of that trade.
Adelaide overpaid bigtime but Daniel Wells would be nearing Richie Tambling territory if he was unlucky enough to have a Buddy Franklin taken behind him.

Decent player, but just a pair of shared Best & Fairests (in years North missed the eight), no All-Australians or influential finals campaigns to show for what was tipped to be a superstar career.

When 'on song' I've seen him cut teams up but he's not consistent enough. Injuries haven't helped either.

From a return on investment point of view, North came out winners. The age difference made a big difference in the end. Carey played his first season for Adelaide in 2003 and retired in 2004 (due to injury). And Wells is still going, sort-off.

Wow, who knew that all Crows supporters were such angels, incapable of any bad behaviour at all. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about how lucky I am to live in a state with such a well-behaved and saintly group of people. Just ask them, they will tell you.
