Sando sacked - confirmed **** crows only ****

[The Sloane Ranger]

Roo

the gift that keeps giving

 

[Bay62]

I'm coining it the Roo-volution.

A new bROOm, sweeping clean..

I'm coining it the Roo-volution.

You're a bit late. Others have been using that for a while, particularly Allefgib

 

[hippyhippy]

speaking of which, does anyone else think Talia knew this was happening given his bnf speech was right on the money?

 

[bobshoby]

rhetoric is easy just ask chapman/trigg et al but it does seem as though they're actually stating to commit to it in practice

 

[TheMetricSystem]

does anyone else have info that things went pear shape with the players late in the season?

Midway through last year is more like it.

Roo d'etat

My bad.

 

[SmegHead]

While I agree with the sacking, I sort of talked myself into believing, this close to FA/trade week, that if we sacked our coach we would have a replacement in mind.

I do agree, but it's better than going through trade/draft period and sacking the coach then (Aints).

However I trust that Roo has someone lined up, they just need to wait for the finals to finish before making an appointment; and in keeping with the new tight-lipped policy they dont want to kick off rumours that someone has signed up.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Wood_Duck]

might be both

maybe it was building throughout the season however something happened in the last month of season that was the straw that broke the back and resulted in losing the players beyong a point of return

Yep Im the same. Something definitely happened about 6 weeks ago and became a tipping point for the likes of Dangerfield.

I'm coining it the Roo-volution.

You might want to go back a few months to when it was first coined that.

Edit: And I might want to go back a few minutes to when someone else already said this.

He probably knoew there was dissention amongst the playing group but not what the outcome would be.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Interestingly AFL360 were promoting that they would have Danger on Tuesday night with Garry Ablett again, but then there was no Danger. If you want to keep things tight lipped then you keep the main player who would be asked about their contract etc away from the media is my thinking.

Midway through last year is more like it.

Yes it did for some. I get the feeling something more recent has been a tipping point

We are all going to get an idea about the integrity of this radio station in about 30 minutes.

Integrity? FiveAA? Grotto pls.

 

[Mike Smyth]

What about when Chairman Rob said "we've always been ruthless."

WHAT?

What is this man going to tell us next? That John Holmes has always had a small dick?

Rob, you are totally out of control. Quit while you're behind.

Ffs this guy needs to be told to leave now.

 

[ManInTheArena]

Get ready for the Bernie spike.

 

[Cap]

Integrity? FiveAA? Grotto pls.

given the guy who owns the station is a huge Crows fan and the station is a sponsor

 

[Crow-eater]

Could it be the rumoured Richmond post-game?

 

[Tex200]

Yep Im the same. Something definitely happened about 6 weeks ago and became a tipping point for the likes of Dangerfield.

I think it was Cornes who said this morning that the action came after the WCE game. Danger, Sloane, Tex, Douglas and Crouch were the delegation

 

[Mike Smyth]

Forget negativity I'm done with that. Forget Christmas! This is the next best thing to a flag for me. We're back. Scrap smart and chapman and I'll be lining my memberships up again. Love roo!

Also stoked that we haven't grabbed Goodwin, it's not that he's a bad appointment (I actually think he'll make a great coach) but he's not the right coach for us. Hiring him would have only perpetuated the boys club perception.

Feel like I have my club back

Who would you like as coach?

 

[CrowsAlways83]

Anyone else think productivity in the state has fallen about 70% today?

Well I'm not aware of anyone by the name of Ruth that has worked for the AFC. Therefore I can confidently say that we've always been Ruthless.

"You play at football clubs to win premierships. You stay at football clubs becasue you believe in the football club, you believe in the culture, you believe in the direction and you believe in what it stands for. Now, we need to get this football club to the level where its powerful again, like it used to be, because it hasn't been lately. It hasn't been successful lately. If you are Patrick Dangerfield or Tex or Sloaney or anyone at the football club, you might be entitled not to be too happy at the moment, but, we're making changes and we're going to get it back to being a strong, powerful football club with a great culture."
-Mark Ricciuto

Not surely I can physically bar up any more for this great man.

I've been going around saying we shouldn't think Roo is the messiah that will change our club. Changed my mind. The man has balls and he's not afraid to swing them.

Ordinarily I'd say who cares if they're making rash dumb decisions, but I must say, I don't think they are. I rate each decision that's been made so far.

Certainly has where I'm sitting
