Rumour Tales from the Henley Beach Cafe: CROWS 2021 RUMOURS

[MRB37]

Seems to have a history of pissing everyone off and walking out

I can understand it with his time here given who we had running the place, had thought he was good friends with Dew though.

Apparently they’ve had a falling out, hence why he’s leaving

Looking at the replay from front on..

are we sure Mackay even knew Clark was there up until milliseconds before impact?..

if your coming from mackay’s direction the view of Clark is probably blocked by Berry who was actually running side by side with Clark (actually holding him at one point)



If hes a second later.. mackay probably runs straight into, and KO’s, Berry instead!.

the more you look at it the more you think it is slightly clumbsy of David but thats David..

theres absolutely no malice, he was going for the ball, he doesnt brace for a bump.. its a footy collision.

he doesnt deserve to be rubbed out.. as much as I wish they would rub him out!

Great post & 100% right on the Cotchin call earlier - led with the shoulder & clearly intended making contact before taking possession.

With this one, feel like this other angle is telling. Hands track from in front of him to the ball in these couple of frames. He did turn the body - knew contact was coming - but hard to argue that the ball wasnt his objective from this.

I know for a fact he was unhappy with the way the infamous camp was handled by the club, and raised these concerns internally (which fell on deaf ears of course). I understand he was generally sick of the boys club culture and just wanted to get out in ‘18.

I don’t blame him at all. The leadership at the club was toxic under Chapman et al.

Based on that second picture, surely Clark should be the one getting reported. His shoulder is more closely tucked into his body than Mackays is... AFL logic...

 

[footy4ever]

Mackay backs off when he sees Mackay coming.

The sun backs off if David is already up and about in the morning.

 

[footy4ever]

Matt Connell!

Kicked the ball higher than Rory Laird, he did

But never kicked as good a death ball high floater as capt. McDermott, and both of them never kicked as high as Trigger.

 

[footy4ever]

Tregenza!

Reacted to this after I posted that ^^^

 

[footy4ever]

So apparently Josh Francou is now leaving the Suns and coming back to Adelaide. Good replacement for Godden as SANFL coach?

No thanks.

I’m shocked to be sitting here. Has history.

Guessing this is tongue-in-cheek but s**t like this (AFL, not your comment) gets me riled up so will answer it anyway....

It always has been and should continue to be so simple. Make the ball your objective and the umpires - and by extension rules of the game - will look after you.

Very unfair on Josh.

He has just rediscovered his passion for teaching…….again

 

[Crow till I die]

can we call him the 5 minute teacher...matches well with his 5 minute fireman mate

I had Tom Lynch pencilled in as our next SANFL coach, maybe even something novel for these times....playing coach?

I'm sure I read somewhere he was already participating in the AFL's coaching pathway?

 

[DJ75]

2020 felt a lot like we were living is some kind of alternative timeline (a lot like the Biff in charge timeline in Back to the Future 2).

The fact that David Mackay would be charged with a newly invented crime of being too aggressive in throwing his weight around, and cause the end of football as we know it, just reaffirms it.

Can someone please go back in time and re-set the timeline?

Isn't he an assistant with the AFLW side?

 

[Bearded Clam]

Believe so..

With SA underage squads maybe?

He was up there with the team in Cairns this week. Presumably he is already doing some coaching work with us too

If Lynch doesn't get a gig as an assistant coach, it's a good idea as a hold over. Especially the playing coach as he'll be better then our top ups (well hopefully not all of them, because I do enjoy seeing our top ups getting drafted).

After all, it helped Younie move up in the AFL world.

Pretty sure I read somewhere Godden was also in Cairns with the team but got back just in time to address the SANFL team before they ran out?

Yeah, that was mentioned on the telecast of the SANFL game.

That's a fair weekend. Go to a night game in Cairns, catch a 4 am flight back to Adelaide and rock up just before the 2:30 pm game starts.

Yeah Godden was in Cairns relaying messages on the bench.

Surely that's not true?? How is that good prep for the SANFL team?

Then again, given what I think of Godden's coaching, and that we won the game, maybe the less input he has the better?

Unfortunately It appears to be the case.
