Which would mean all but the middle tier players have an attitude problem, given some of our seniors seem like they have an entitled attitude.Or maybe our young players have an attitude problem. Can’t rule it out.
Or maybe there's no attitude problems at all, it's just a Big Footy Adelaide board thing?Or maybe our young players have an attitude problem. Can’t rule it out.
One of my oldest friends and his wife won a competition for a trip with the Crows to a Melbourne match last year. Nankervis was assigned to sit with them on the plane. Apparently, he engaged superbly and they think he is fantastic. He remembers their names when they visit the club. I've heard that the Crows do this sort of thing much better than many other clubs.Nank seems VERY popular with the young brigade of our squad.

100% noSo it D Burgess out or not?
All evidence at the moment suggests that both are staying.Re the Burgess rumours
Are people mixing up Burgess and Burgess? Surely Burgess is staying and it's Burgess who's leaving.
We need depth of around 30 players.Re Rosas rumour I honestly don't see how we would fit him into the side with Neale-Bullen, Rachele, Keays and pick 4 probably taking precedence.
No current season stats available
If the public groundswell had no influence then that's even worse, because it shows deep division within the coaching ranks themselvesYou'd like to think that ....and this fallacy that a few posters have any influence, also a fallacy .....if anything BF posters are viewed as the loonie element
Hopefully there are some problemsOr maybe there's no attitude problems at all, it's just a Big Footy Adelaide board thing?
That wasn't the point ....there's no evidence of a "groundswell" .....you have a very small niche of BF supporters, and a smattering of radio talkbackIf the public groundswell had no influence then that's even worse, because it shows deep division within the coaching ranks themselves
Maybe this was shaun?One piece of second hand info I received was that Keane told quite a few members of the playing group he was staying with the crows before he went to Ireland. The club gave its blessing for him to go across before the final game based on this. Whether this means anything and if he’s put pen to paper I’m not sure.
The source also told me that the playing group is actually quite united, leads me to believe that 5AA caller Shaun was taking rubbish.
If this is true though it makes our list management decisions quite interesting. As I mentioned before Chris burgess has a contract for this year, this doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t delist and pay him out.
The stuff about Curtin came via the media, when they pointed out that he was the only one in the top 10 who hadn't debuted, we were utterly stinking and had traded up to get him. "Rebuild"?That wasn't the point ....there's no evidence of a "groundswell" .....you have a very small niche of BF supporters, and a smattering of radio talkback
MenzelHave we ever delisted a contracted player and paid them out?
Recently extended coaches yes...
Mods - life ban for this f-er please, he said the club does something better than other clubsOne of my oldest friends and his wife won a competition for a trip with the Crows to a Melbourne match last year. Nankervis was assigned to sit with them on the plane. Apparently, he engaged superbly and they think he is fantastic. He remembers their names when they visit the club. I've heard that the Crows do this sort of thing much better than many other clubs.
Hopefully there are some problems
If we're 15th and firing on all cylinders then there isn't much hope
I'm not sure if Stengel counts or just plain sacked.Have we ever delisted a contracted player and paid them out?
Recently extended coaches yes...
No one leaned on the Coaches ....Coaches come from a variety of perspectives, and they can vary in a few weeks, and where the season is positionedThe stuff about Curtin came via the media, when they pointed out that he was the only one in the top 10 who hadn't debuted, we were utterly stinking and had traded up to get him. "Rebuild"?
Hey presto within two weeks he'd been shifted away from full back in the reserves and promoted after one good game.
Who leaned on Nicks and the coaches from within the club? They obviously resented it and pushed back hard with their subsequent treatment.
I think all the clubs have been caught off guard by the amount of players that are going to move this offseason. Was the Melb implosion a definite thing when list management was being wrapped up last offseason, or even 1/2 way thru this season? Was the Richmond implosion and exodus forseeable? GC players wanting out due to new coach, normally thats a thing to keep them? Plus nearly every other club has one odd choice player that wants out.One piece of second hand info I received was that Keane told quite a few members of the playing group he was staying with the crows before he went to Ireland. The club gave its blessing for him to go across before the final game based on this. Whether this means anything and if he’s put pen to paper I’m not sure.

I reckon some of the outside influence did make a difference.No one leaned on the Coaches ....Coaches come from a variety of perspectives, and they can vary in a few weeks, and where the season is positioned
None of us know what those talks entailed ....but I can guarantee the public had no part to play
Could have been ....initially we want to teach Curtin to defend, of course they're also experimenting with roles ......no-one gets it right ....how many failed FWD's have suddenly become DEF out of either need or desperation .....Rutten was a classic
Then, getting back on point ...it may have been about another "experimental" role
This board was saying Midfield or Defender ....my calls for him as a potential FWD after Tex retired was decried (again) ....FWD / MID seems the go
Did anyone think Bond deserved a game .....did anyone suggest he have a MID tagging role ....Coaches, and there's enough of them, inc development Coaches, have minds too ....and a hell of a lot more actual experience
Anyone who believes anything said by callers on 5AA should not even be allowed control of a TV remote.Maybe this was shaun?
