Poor customers. FiveAA had to get Pyke on to describe to them what went on in Crows closed internal trial. #wehideatonne
As much as I'd like to bag them opening artic park to the public wouldn't be so simple & even if they did it's not really the place for a family day internal like ours.. they could take it out to a snafl ground in the burbs I guess.

Doesn't help their current tactic of distancing themselves from their origins.

Still looking for a home anywhere but that paid for $2m/yr murderously souless grave of theirs.
Crows in the shed didn't work or the practised chant, stealing a jumper or'tippet'ting the system
But really they're just 1 of the other 17 teams we need to beat.

Menzel apparently has been told to train with the forwards as his running is not up to standard to train with the midfielders.

It seems the earlier reports were correct.

Shame... Kid has a lot of ability.

Loved how when Pyke was asked who stood out and played well he couldn't really answer and said that everyone was solid. Then Bickley closed by thanking him for providing such an informative run down of the internal trial... Righto..
I really do have chuckle when I see Birdman's name as their High Performance Manager. There's a song

So "Elbows" Bickley, who is employed by the AFC in a marketing and promotions role, interviews the AFC senior coach on commercial radio. That must have been a hard hitting and insightful piece of radio journalism. :rolleyes:

Nah, it's all OK, they had the Crows ambassador Rowe for some #balance

I have seen on the net some people are trying to say the Crows were the oldest Club being the Adelaide Football Club (SAFA).That Club was forced to disband at the end of the 1893 season ... They cant take 1870 with Port Adelaide ..:D

You're being unfair. There is a connection there. Graham Cornes used to play for them.

I wish they would, it would be hilarious to see the outcry and confusion.

The AFC have been stealing other clubs' heritage since 1990.
