Mitch Clark retired.

Hope he can get his life sorted out. All the best Mitch.
Can't help but think that he made his situation worse for himself. Perhaps if he'd moved back to WA as was originally planned (Fremantle put in a good offer from memory) and lived amongst family and friends with their support instead of going the greedy path and taking the cash from Melbourne, he'd be in a better place.

Hahaha the funny part is that I actually mean Fulham Gardens! My parents still live there off Cheadle Street, my cousins and I called it the 'G' to differentiate it from Fulham.


So now, being away from there for 16 years, I wonder why 'Fulham' sounds any better.....after all the 'G' was where it was all at!
Fulham is a much posher suburb than that area north of Riverside Drive. :p

I would LOVE to post this reply under the respective Adelaide thread but would prefer not getting a ban

The Crows’ stance on Recognise – to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia’s constitution – coincides with the club and McLeod Indigenous programs’ first camp for the year.
But only if they have one white parent?

I would if I was any good with memes, I ended up just asking him if he realises that they're 0-3 as well & he didn't seem very happy having that pointed out to him & his Crow mates that were having a laugh at Carlton.
There'd be a picture with Craigy and Sando if anyone actually gave a shit about Adelaide.

Went for a walk around AO and noticed the 19th man sign has been removed from the InterContinental hotel. Thought it was meant to remain there longer. The 'crowify the city' competition isn't meant to close until 20 April.

It would be easy to poke fun, but there may be a legit reason.

Our Round 5 opponent dropping like flies. Glass joins Hurn, Waters, LeCras, Masten and Shuey on the sidelines.
Are they all 2 week or longer injuries though? Some big names there, I know Waters is a definite out but if the others miss also that'll help us out if we get Chad back & get a win whilst escaping unscathed this week.

When Sando mentiones how he and Ken came through the 'Geelong system', you can actually see Ken cringe a little.
Ken has moved on and is all about PAFC, whereas Sando seems to have to reassure everyone that he is a good coach because he's been at Geelong.

Geelong did this and Geelong did that...
Hey Sando, how about coming up with ' your way '*

* I suspect he might now be coaching the Sando way after watching them play this year.:D

Not sure whether the crows had anything to do with it (judging by the giant 19 I’d say they did) but the Intercontinental never got permission from the Adelaide City Council to put up that giant guernsey or whatever it is, so now they have to take it down ASAP apparently.

Sando needs to understand that, just because you photocopy plan A, that then does NOT mean you suddenly have a plan B..........

where did you get that from?

the writer says it is a dream scenario for melb and unlikely to happen.

it then goes on to quote mark evans as stating that it would be possible for melb to get some sort of pick it wouldnt be a first round pick and there is pressure in the industry to never hand out front end of draft picks again.


that to me is as black and white as it can be from the man who himself would be making the decision on the matter.
