My Commiserations to the Magpie Army. You played brilliantly all year, and did not embarrass yourself on Grand Final Day (unlike other teams recently :poo: :mad:). You can truly hold your head high :footy: :thumbsu:.

Sauce Jacobs down to Matt Crouch... MCrouch to The Sloane Ranger... The Sloane Ranger to Gibbs... Gibbs to Ratkins... Ratkins does a little sidestep shimmy, then onto to the Big Texan... And the Crows Cavalry waltzes into an open goal! Hi Ho Silver, Away!!! https://goo.gl/LmGMvw...

To Andrew Fagan, If we keep doing what we're doing, we're gonna keep getting what we're getting. If you want something different, you have to do something different. And that's all I'm asking you to consider doing is to do something different than you're currently doing. Change is hard...change...

Although I haven't yet listened to the TNL CrowCast from 11/09/2018, I very much hope to shortly. But I have listened to most of the recent CrowCast episodes in recent weeks. Although I've always enjoyed the CrowCast, these recent episodes have been way up and beyond the call of duty. Above...

? :think: ? :think: ?

Could not agree more strongly.

Quite possible. I am not saying that Pyke necessarily hasn't done anything wrong, I just don't know. But all this feels like someone higher up is pulling the strings, and I don't think it's Pyke or Fagan. What concerns me is what this debacle is now doing to our ability to lure quality talent...

This. Post. Right. Here.

It may be Pyke making bad decisions, or maybe not. I can't be certain of this, but I get the feeling that other senior figures behind the scenes are pulling some strings and causing these problems.

The debacle with preseason training and injuries. The fiasco with Collective Mind, and the subsequent basketcase interview with Pyke and Burton. Josh Franco jumps ship after just one season. And I think (?) he's taking another assistant with him. McGovern wants out. Ben Jarman and Jackson...

Thanks for the reply, but what you're saying is all a question of degree in my books. MacKay should've been traded/delisted at 'x' number of games instead of 'y'. The bottom line is the club (clearly) should've traded/delisted him (and Douglas), and quite some time ago. People could debate...

This, and Dougie can join him.

After 50 games, our Management should've been on it's knees, begging and pleading for forgiveness at making such a horrendous mistake with recruiting.

I'm praying to the Football Gods what you said turns out to be the case, but what I can more likely see is both of them given 20 year contract extensions.

Of all the "answers" that may or may not be out there, Priority 1 is to recruit (either by Trade, or Draft, or both) some Mids with absolutely blistering pace that can win their own ball, if required. They do not need to be inside contested beasts, but they must have some remote level of...

I don't know MacKay, so I don't have any personal criticism of him. If I did know him, and he turned out to be a pr1ck, I may very well feel differently, but I don't know him personally so I just can't criticise him. But where I do have some very serious criticism are at those who are...

This right here. Without a doubt, there are issues at the club, on and off the paddock - no question about it. But my #1 question is who's the one pulling the strings? Not for a moment am I saying that this is the be all, end all issue we're facing....but our massively excessive selection of...

Good enough to be Trade Bait. We have an absolute Forest of Tall Timber, but we lack Greyhounds Mids.

But we may only be able to get one, so we need to prioritise. What we need is pace. Absolute scorching, blistering pace. And the ability to win the ball in contests/stoppages/scrimmages...and break away from the congestion. At present, we do not have this. Would Lukosius be a good get...

Then....

There's a whole range of things to consider, but the main two problems are: We lack serious pace (and two-way running) between the Arcs (through the Midfield) We are playing way too may tall/medium-tall types, where we need to have just two big guys at each end, and the rest to have serious...
