We need to be more Motorhead and less Coldplay
Who honestly cares what anyone in the media says about the club? We're a football club not some girly social media gossip piece. Nothing irritates me more when people use the term 'its not a good look'. More dorky milquetoast image-conscious crap that is a cancer in our great game

The one thing that I have realised this week is just how much the filth down the road are so obsessed with us. They have literally been chasing after anything that has a negative spin and flooding the social media comments with hyperbole and bullshit.
You go to any article where the Crows have been bashed and if you look through the comments and look at the profiles easily 90%+ of who are making the comments generally are Port trolls. It's like they're just sitting there all day on social media looking for anything at all so that they can can use it for some sort of rant where they post absolute nonsense in the belief that it will somehow adversely effect the club.
It's kinda creepy to see how their halfwit supporters have become so jealous and obsessed with us that it's reached a level where they actually appear to be spending countless hours engaging in constant social media trolling, posting fake news and generally just trying to wage some moronic false propaganda campaign against the club through social media.
In a way it just shows the difference between them and us.

Bombers try and hold Ryder to ransom and force Port to arbitration.
"Dodoroo is just a tough negotiator and let's not forget that Essendon are hurting that he's leaving. Adrian is just looking at what's best for the club by seeking adequate compensation for him" Vic media
Biggest double standards ever.
I like it.. We are in the comp to win. The Vic media can gagf. The other clubs can gagf. The crows are always fair on the trade table. Our success comes by not hogging and asking for free top draft picks. We develope our own players. We don't ask the AFL for handouts. Our home games draw 50k+. Our fans are loyal... So yeah.. The rest of the comp can gagf.

Not sure why all the hostility towards us. I think its amusing how salty they are. I presume they thought we would win the flag and see our poor effort in the gf as a green light to pile on. The press are just now making up stuff and running with bs that is pure lies. Press should be careful as some of the stuff they are running with is borderline defamatory. Can only think their vic audience wants to hear this s**t as it takes the spotlight off how s**t their clubs currently are. * them all.
Agreed. It's all good to talk tough, but if you don't get anything for it, you end up further back than if you had just said nothing.
We need to be a team that gets results, even if those results are unpopular in the wider community. Just being unpopular without results isn't really the aim in itself.
The only interest that we need to look after is our own. Being ruthless is an admirable quality if you get the results.

I also think people are misinterpreting mockery for hatred.
The vics don't fear us after our grand final flop. They're laughing at us, and have all decided to pile on. There's a difference.

Could you imagine Neil Craig or Gary Ayres coming out and making the comments about Port that Williams did about us. Pathetic club. We complete them.

Happy to be the "unsociable crows"
Correct.
JJ and Tex embarrass themselves and our club, making comments like that given our long tradition of finals chokes.
- Happy with the closed training sessions
- Fine with the assertive trade negotiations
- Jury out on the tough contract negotiations
- Wish Tex and JJ would stick to football

Might we also just note that some of the 'we love it' crowd are the ones that were supporting the previous approach (i.e. let's be professional and get trades done early and easily, no need for acrimony).
It's intellectually bereft to merely advocate based upon what a club is doing.

My thoughts exactly! All they are doing is creating an us against them mentality. Trying to make Tex lose the captaincy will only make the team fall in behind him more!
I hope Tex never stop speaking his mind!

I'm happy with it as long as they are consistent with their approach (which it looks like they will be). The Crows have their fingers in a lot of pies this year and so far it looks like forcing the opposing team to bring their best to the table! Some days I think we are going to make all those deals, some days none. But I guess when you are swinging for the fences you have to expect to strike out from time to time!
You can't get a home run from bunting!

JJ was a bit embarrassing, but Tex was just being honest, you cant begrudge him for that. You would only think that way if you just went with what the Vic media is feeding you and don't go back and listen to the entire interview. He quite clearing prefaced his money over success comment with "our club is in a very good position to have success"
Its about bloody time we stopped being the whipping boy of the AFL and other clubs.
I like the new hard edge to the club and our captain. They can all get stuffed.
The VFL led league and Vic media has been shafting interstate clubs ever since they replaced the V with an A.
I said it after the GF loss - we needed to draw a line in the sand and stop accepting mediocrity as a security blanket. I'm excited to see the club push back for once in its existence.
Our way or the highway needs to be our catchcry. I like what I am seing.
Now we need to back it up with tangible results in the next 2 weeks.

The AFL community has decided to whack us on pretty much everything.
However most of what we are being whacked for is being turned around and distorted. Very little truth is being told here.
However, I am starting to feel that the club needs to come out and strongly address some of this stuff. The club may not care - but the supporters seem too!

Need to get #VICbias trending on twitter.
TBH it's a bit galling to see all the anti-Crows rhetoric in the media at the moment, however it means we're doing something right - for us!

We may also note that some of the " the club is s**t for being so weak and accommodating" crowd, are the ones that are now shitting on the club for acting tougher.
