Do you actually spend any time on the Powa board??
I have no idea who he is.

For the record, I reckon if Walsh does get offered the job he'll take it. He is nearing retirement age and this would be his last chance to be a head coach (I don't think he has had the burning desire to be one as a career assistant.).

He will give it a crack and if it doesn't work out, he'll retire in peace not having to worry about where his next assistants role will be. He's got nothing to lose and I think it's now or never for him.

Yeah, he said something that I didn't catch about Gray mentioning Walsh in his acceptance speech and said that Rucci could write about it on Monday because that's how his form was.

Does anyone know what Gray said?
Endorsed Walsh

Said he runs the powers midfield and leadership group meetings and would be a huge loss and he hopes that he stays

But has there ever been someone from the inner sanctum of any club that doesnt endorse that their assistants are brilliant, communicate well and would make a good selection.

But I have been seeing a fair cross-section pumping up Walsh ... not just his current work-mates.

Can't have Bassett, his bowls side beat my bowls side two years running in the Night Owls Grand Final - that was 4 years ago and I'm still getting over it. Did have his dummy spits from time to time.

Kym with the wolf creek avatar is the biggest troll going around. Every Crows article he is there. I've called him such many times...makes sense.
And he is allowed to get away with it, I've had posts a lot milder than he posts canned, even reported him as a troll...crickets, posts calling him a troll..canned! I think it is the roach. how else would he be allowed to carry on like he does.

Bloke who runs my local burger joint is a big Hawks man.
Said yesterday he'd heard Bolton got the job........
This guy is the only known candidate I simply don't rate at all.

I reckon the Hawks would have won those 5 games with no senior coach. The have several playing coaches who I believe have more influence than super assistant smiley pants. It took them the GWS game to sort it out, then onto auto pilot for the other 4.

If he's appointed I would be shocked and very disappointed.

Plenty of coaches that have taken a coach in a caretaker mode have had good records, immediately Craig and Primus come to hand.

He didnt strike me as a confident assured man that could handle the heat in the kitchen on match day.

I've often wondered why his really derogatory posts don't get deleted, now I know why.

Btw I kept an eye on a few blogs this year like the state Guernsey fiasco and was amazed how pro afc posts, including mine, were quickly deleted while post from the ferals, including incredibly derogatory ones, remained. It made the public opinion look heavily against the AFC. That's one of the main reasons I cancelled my subscription payments.

They almost lost the 1st game he had them vs GWS ( and really SHOULD'VE lost )

Not trying to defend him or anything , just saying.

According to port fans, we can't get our own ideas by stealing one of their assistants. They appointed a Gold Coast assistant. Pointing that out resulted in one poster saying all our supporters are loathsome. A tame reply (asking said poster if one million Crows supporters were all loathsome and to look in the mirror)to that was met with an infraction.

I have spent the last twelve months trying to encourage reasonable discourse between both sets of fans and have been rubbished on this board on occasion for being Pro Port adelaide.

I am having little success. Now I feel like I,have been told off by a cynical old teacher who knows the student is smarter than him. Given I don't want any more detentions I will give up my crusade and leave their board well alone.

It's interesting you have no right of reply against infractions. I think we should ban the Burqa as well.

I know probably no one cares, but, I needed to get that off my chest.
I've always admired your crusade no matter how mis guided. When 50,000 port fans will stand up publically and sing how everyone is trying to tear them apart there has to be something wrong with the majority. They embrace the roll of loser/drama queen. There's no reasoning with people like that.
