There is a video of Nicks announcing the extension to the team meeting. Does anyone recall where it was posted. (Embarrassing if it was in this thread but scrolling on phone can't see it).

Wanted to show wife as while we both believe he is not the world's best tactical coach, he has been incredibly good at bringing a team together in connectedness. He makes in that video some positive comments about ROBs impact and Nibbler adds to it.
 
Yeah and you better believe it is some of the grimmest shit the football club has ever been attached to by association…


Lol.
Jordan Peterson is about as dangerous as a wet lettuce leaf.
His book was a self help and motivational book about how to get your life in order.

Some people seemed surprised that not everyone is a screaming leftie in life.

If there was any confidence in 2026 Tex. he’d be signed already. Unlikely he goes on, he’s borderline being carried as it is.
He hadn't signed yet at this time last year. His performances are very comparable to last year, and he's played every game bar a single rest.

My gut feeling is he goes but I think there's at least a decent chance he does another year. Might depend how the season finishes up.

At this time season Tex was saying he wanted to get an extension at every opportunity and his agent was backgrounding about him leaving on 2 year deals. This year the only thing we’ve heard is from the club and that’s that talks are off until season concludes. Chalk and cheese.

That said, we’ve got a few to delist and not many decent draft picks to replace them with. At least 1 or 2 will get a pension year.
 
Me: Strolls into this thread.

Sees some ppl criticize ROB for hanging out with (a clearly fascist) Alex Antic

Sees some ppl criticize those ppl who critized ROB

Thinks to self...are we all just cheering on Fascism these days? 🤔

It's a different world out there now. 😳
This is an AFL football Forum, there ate avenues on Big Footy to take that crap to the appropriate threads.

Reilly O'Brien is a 1st class citizen as is well proven by his off field actions.

ROB does seem to be man of good deeds which is what counts.

I never really understood the hooha about Peterson (either for or against). He just seemed to me like a mild self help guy with fairly familiar and unobjectionable, slightly old-fashioned values. That said, I stopped paying attention years ago.
 
I would have thought giving ROB 3 years is a pretty fair signal that the Crows are not intent on chasing Draper. Can't see us paying the salary required to play Draper forward personally even if he chops out in ruck. No way he replaces Tex if Tex is done, in fact I can see him being a hindrance to Thilthorpe and Fog.., no way does he have the game awareness and anything like the skill levels of the Texan.

If we were to play Draper and ROB that would also mean we would not have Thilthorpe’s ruck minutes, which as we saw last night, and have seen many times in the past, are a huge asset.

Don't use words like "Fascist" if you dont know what they mean.

While you expect some things like this post-signing this seems to be a very consistent theme.

Tend to think getting Draper in at the expense of ROB would have been culturally errosive in a way where you would need a significant uptick in performance output to justify.

And to think we had a poster shit canning ROB's character only the other day.
 
And now our lack of ruck depth will come into strong focus with McAndrew out for 4 weeks minimum with a busted jaw.

FFS Adelaide draft or recruit a young ruckman to develop behind our lead and back up rucks, who knows that youngster may one day be the next Dean Cox, Rowan Marshall, Lloyd Meek, Sam Jacobs or Tristan Xerri etc all low cost late/rookie pics.
