    Nigel Smart to be appointed C.O.O of the Crows

    Yes macca23, I'm sure that in the over 110 applicants they received, most of whom would not even consider applying for his position as CEO of Variety SA, none were better than Nigel. I mean, fancy appointing an appropriately qualified person instead of an AFC insider. Embarrasssing.

    Matt Rendell situation thread # 4

    I couldn't agree more. The problem is that none of his questions will be acknowledged let alone answered. To those that are still surprised this is still going - if you were shafted and lost your job wouldn't you appreciate someone sticking up for you. This is a dirty stain on our club and...

    Matt Rendell situation thread #3

    Rendell resigned because his CEO failed to support him after well intentioned but potentially offensive comments. This is the part that frustrates me with Trigg - it's easy to say he was backed into a corner by Demetriou however at some stage in our lives we find ourselves in a situation where...

    Matt Rendell situation thread #3

    What an absolute disgrace and an example of a complete set of double standards. The AFL is smelling worse and worse over the mishandling of the Matt Rendell situation.

    Mega Thread Matt Rendell situation thread #2

    Don't bother sending to 5AA or AFC - send it to the sponsors. The reality is Trigg was worried about losing the sponsors money if he didn't act so instead of fighting for his man he took the weak option. Of course, having Andy D breathing down his neck doesn't help but don't fool yourself that...

    The Rendell Fiasco

    Re: Rendell Says the club will only recruit Aboriginals that have one white parent Genuinely disappointed in my club and the AFL. They have hung a great guy out to dry. I'm ashamed of the lack of courage shown by our CEO in at least giving his employee the opportunity to defend himself...

    News Edwards Retirement - Effective Immediately

    True - Tyson and Craig have been having conversations over a number of weeks about his form. Tyson acknowledged this on 5AA tonight.

    News Edwards Retirement - Effective Immediately

    Umm - not true. Macca is spot on. The truth is that when Craigy met the Board last night, and trust me (even though I acknowledge you have no need to) they were well aware it could be a session with fireworks, they were happy to accept Craig's recommendation which included the backlash from...

    News Edwards Retirement - Effective Immediately

    How can Craigy not guarantee the farewell game next week? We're not talking about one of the good players of the club, or someone who hasn't played this year - we are talking about a genuine legend of the club who has played every game this year and at worst would have been the travelling...

    Standard of Umpiring

    I have to agree - one of the worst displays of umpiring I have seen. It was a lottery as to what decision they would come up with, and like others I am amazed at the free kick count. Despite not getting heaps of free kicks that were there, I thought we got a good ride overall.

    Tredders joins the chorus

    I agree, but there has also been another shift. At first every man and his dog was supporting Choco, then it went quiet (almost as if there was a gag order on the players) and now it has resurfaced again. Granted it is getting closer to the decision time, but I get the feeling Choco will be...

    The Old/Fab Three

    The thing that concerns me most with Macca is that whilst he still gets tagged, it is rarely the oppositions best "tagger" anymore. The opposition seem to be using a lesser known player every week to reduce Macca's influence, and he just doesn't work hard enough to shake them. With regards...

    Adelaide v Melbourne - Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo

    The Good - We won The Bad - The game The Ugly - The game, the Melbourne "crowd" consistent booing of Bock. Unless they know something that I don't then it is poor taste.

    The Porplyzia Debacle- Was the medical team wrong again?

    It was always going to be a risk, and in this case the risk hasn't fully paid off - and I say fully because he has still made a great contribution well after the initial discussion regarding surgery. The part that I still struggle with is seeing Porps lying on the ground with his shoulder...

    Rucci = boring

    I'm glad someone from Port has said this. I bought that book having played at the Port Magpies and was really looking forward to it. I just found myself wondering where it was going next and to be honest a let down. It didn't do the story and family justice.

    Burton Gone

    I agree wholeheartedly with him. I commented to a few people well prior to this week that I had noticed an increase in players seeming to crash deliberately into opponents legs, arms etc with their head to draw a free kick. It will be interesting at the end of the season to see whether the free...

    Burton out for 2 weeks

    You can't possibly think Burton's bump was at any stage going to cause long term or fatal injury. Yes, he had to be suspended under the current rules but to say that he is lucky to only get two weeks is over the top. You might think it is hot air, but think about rule changes that have...

    Burton out for 2 weeks

    Hardly worthy of a woo hoo and thumbs up. We've lost our most important forward for two weeks. Whilst the match review panel had to suspend him under the current rules, there really needs to be a good look at the way these incidents are interpreted. Choco talks a lot of crap but he's spot on...

    AAMI stadium dew problem

    I was thinking at the game that this must contribute to the AFL's programming of matches. That was a shocking game to watch and I'm sure Vlad would have been sitting there wishing the game was at the MCG or Telstra Dome. TV rules the game these days and I can't see any station thinking that...

    Rucci in the tiser - port are soft

    I asked Michelangelo a few weeks ago about the "message" coming from Choco, Tredrea etc regarding comments like best 0-4 side ever, we're close but just having small lapses, our best is good enough to go with the top teams etc. His response was that it is mainly due to how best to communicate...

    The Advertiser - What a Newspaper

    Have a look at the premiership table on the back page of todays Advertiser - there's only 15 teams listed. The Advertiser obviously decided to give one team the old heave ho.

    Poor Interstate Record of Late

    For all of those bagging Drummond, I bet you'd be quick to use this stat if it was Port Adelaide that had lost 6 of their last 7 on the road, regardless of who they played. That's not to say that who we have played, who was in and out etc isn't relevant, but on the surface it doesn't look...
