The Pride Magazine

[fryingpan]

Good read on Bernie Vince in this months edition

Also, did anyone else receive expired pizza hut vouchers with their magazine?

 

[AFC Official]

Those coupons will be honoured until the end of September

Dunno - didnt check the vouchers

However, I wish they would change the name of the magazine - "The Pride" sounds so gay!!

Furthermore, i wish they would at least change some of the words in our club song - particularly "We're the pride of South Aust" - because, it sounds wishy washy & gay again but also seems irrelevant since 1/2 the players are from interstate. The words in the song need more ooomph.

I wish they'd change "and we're known as the..."

use to be "and we're the mighty...." sounded much better.

Known....ghey

 

[IddyBiddy]

I still sing "we're the mighty" as opposed to the "were known as". I like the Pride as the name for the magazine.

My magazine get delivered to my old place in Adelaide, where my mother enjoys the spoils. What did it have to say? Anything interesting?

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

Yeah, I've never, ever,ever sung it as "We're known as the Adelaide Crows" infact I can't even remember the team singing it like that to be honest, perhaps I block it out.

Team still sings it the old way.

It's played through the speakers the new way

Also enjoyed the section on David Mackay, that was insightful.

What? How?

If I walk into pizza hut and say "these vouchers are expired but afccomau from bigfooty said they're right till the end of september" they'll say no worries?

You could try that ... but the Pizza Hut bosses are contacting the stores to let them know.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

AFC how long do they usually take to get out?

 

[Damp Squarie]

Any photos of a 6 month old Irish recruit?

Wow - that's a young recruit.

This him?

Haven't got my mangled copy yet. Wish the postie would wise up and just throw it onto the ground instead of folding and shoving it in the letterbox. Always end up with a torn cover.

Speaking of irishness, when are we gonna find out about these lads trialling with us?

 

[Mismatched]

use to be "and we're the mighty...." sounded much better.

Known....ghey

Was thinking the same. It is and always will be for me "the mighty Adelaide Crows"

Got my copy today, saw the expiry date and threw it away.

Noticed an interesting fact in the Chris Knights article on pg48...James Sellar is 2nd at the club for explosive power (weight adjusted, on a bicycle ergometer).

(As an aside, i noted in Craigy's article on pg5 almost every youngster got a mention except Sellar...gee i hope he isn't facing the chop. After his early season improvement, maybe he has dropped his effort again?)

Now, does anybody have info on:

1) Sellar's height (actual current height)?

2) reaching height/arm span (ie standing and reaching to give a measure of arm length). Sounds stupid but if a guy is 2cm shorter than someone but actually has an arm length 2cm bigger then there is no real height issue

3) vertical leap...to a degree related to the second point as a greater ability to jump (even with the circle limiting run-up) mitigates a shorter height, though good rucks can negate a leaping player (eg Lade).

The reason i ask is that there are examples of slightly shorter players that can still ruck, and i am not sure if it's true but i read Natanui is only 197cm and is touted as a great ruck prospect.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sellar has grown to that height. At training he looks the height of a ruckman, even with his hunched over shoulders.

Obviously he's a powerful athlete with good footy skills, a massive boom or bust proposition. Just trying to think outside the square as he is a very skilled ruckman in the SANFL imo.

So much of the magazine has already been published or is advertisng or is a blatant cross promotion eg article by Schwerdt, proudly brought to you by PowerAde.

Not much new, especially as the CEO and Coach's columns are obviously written many weeks ago.

Well....I am Kristie! HAHAHAHA

But if you get the weekly email from David Burtenshaw from the AFC you will notice that I have copied that direct from the email they send every Thursday.

Seriously, I couldn't give a rats toss bag, but it looks like they have tried to 'save the day' after sending out dud coupons.
