I can accept the cheating and lying, it's standard procedure within the AFL, it's the gross incompetence that upsets me.

Brodie Smith played almost every game in his first year on the list. He has steadily improved as he has gained experience, something we didn't see last year with Kerriddge, Lyons etc.

I agree that there are many other facets of this saga that have not been made public but I can't find any version of the story that doesn't have Triggy as a cheat, a liar and incompetent.

Sam had a solid but not spectacular start to the year with Sturt, probably not surprising since he played with the Crows throughout the entire pre-season. His form in the second half of the year was excellent. My point is that not all gun players start with a bang. For every McLeod, Riccuitto...

I can appreciate how you came to this opinion based on his lacklustre 34 minutes of AFL football against Hawthorn last year. How did this compare to Tyson Edwards first 34 minutes in the AFL?

A Carlton supporter was waxing lyrical over Lucas when he kicked his first goal last Friday night so I asked him if he would be willing to swap Lucas for Talia. His reply was that they don't need Talia because they have Henderson and Jamison. And then Tex started to get...

Which part do you disagree with, that he was a cheat, a liar or was incompetent. I have only stated the information that is in the public domain. I could say more but there is no value in casting further light on our sins over the Trigg Era.

The lie about Kurt's "agreement" was part of the Trifecta. First Trigg cheated the AFL rules. Secondly Trigg lied to cover it up. But worst of all Trigg was totally incompetent in 1) Not exercising appropriate control (as the CEO) over the man given the task of negotiating the largest...

By good luck and/or good management we now have a core of elite/near elite players in their early 20's but our talent is still below several other teams. Whilst we can expect further improvement from our 50 - 100 game players, we need to develop at least another 3 or 4 players to remain...

I fear you are correct Carl but can we afford to pump another 20+ games into Johncock and Callinan in 2013? If we don't win the flag (possible but not probable) then we will be weaker at the end of the year than the start. We were the most conservative club in the AFL last season when it came to...

I still can't see how any of this relates to injuries under Sando. Has anyone had the time to read the 2012 AFL Injuries Report? Once again some interesting stuff. The trend over the last 10 years has continued with strain type injuries (hamstrings, groin strains, calf strains etc) continuing...

Ahhh, the Bickley Bounce. Am I allowed to bump some of the Big Footy comments in that magical 6 weeks under Bicks. Let me see, we beat the 15th, 16th and 17th teams, lost at home to Richmond who leap frogged us to 12th, had a competitive home effort against Geelong and then went to Perth for a...

Carl, do you believe it was Sando's decision to use a potentially high draft pick (it ended up in the 20's though, sucked in GWS) to add a gun midfielder to our list. Do you give the same credit to Neil for using one of our highest ever draft picks (number 10) on a kid that was not going to...

My apologies for the delay in responding. My new job does not enable me to participate in Big Footy during the day. Patty's development was exactly what you would expect of a future elite midfielder. In his first three seasons his average supercoach score went from 63 to 70 to 80. I believe...

I was just baiting some of the other Crow BF members. I would love to see Kerridge get a chance against Essendon but if your seeking intel for Supercoach or Dreamteam you will probably be disappointed. If fit, Smith and Wright are in our best 12 but Kerridge may nudge in front of Martin and...

I am looking forward to seeing the following players in the 22 against Essendon. Luke Thompson, Tambling, Jaensch, Martin, Petrenko, McKernan, Lynch and Riley. They are not all in my "best 22" but it would be fun to see the head of a much loved moderator explode.:rolleyes: P.S. Kerridge...

I am struggling to understand what the last 2 pages have to do with "Injuries and Sando". Since certain members of the MOB are determined to recreate history once again, I will restate the FACTS. In Patty's first season on the Crows list he spent very little time in the midfield. He was...

The problem with the NAB Cup is that fringe players/kids are played out of position. Kerridge, Lyons and Riley will play limited minutes in the midfield when (if?) they get game time this year. I would like to see how Lewis Johnston goes with our A grade midfield up and firing. Even Tex looks...

Can you give the code to one of the mods and they can pass it on. They seem to be able to send me messages (of discontent)?

And if there was a gold medal for spin then ......Steven and Rob, come on down. The number of full members (i.e. those with tickets to our 11 home games have fallen from a peak of 47,000+ to well under 40,000 last year. We have then joined our Victorian comrades and started counting 3 game...

I will be particularly interested in how they will use our back up midfielders now the big boys are back. We have been trialling Kerridge and Lyons as tagging midfielders on the oppositions key mids and allowing Riley and Crouch to hunt the ball. I expect that Riley will play the Petrenko role...

Good thought. I might have switched it off when I was getting all the death threats last year. Give it another try VANR88

I don't expect us to play our Round 1 team until the Carlton match. I would therefore expect a number of the "fringe" players to be "rested" this week but I wouldn't read too much into this. Players who have played most of the first two weeks who may be rested include Talia (although he still...

Unlike the AFC, at least we get to vote evry three years.

Life can be deceiving Froggy (and so can the MOB).

Just because he is a self confessed liar, cheat and incompetent why should he resign?

I haven't received anything in my In Box (perhaps it was sabotaged by the MOB). Perhaps one of the Moderators can post it as an alert or you can provide an email address to contact you. Cheers, :)

I went on holiday, my apologies for ignoring BigFooty for 2 weeks. I'm happy to provide a long list of smart alecs who said I was deluded that there was a clause in Tippett's contract, I was delusional that he had made up his mind to leave Adelaide at the end of 2011. I was crazy to suggest...

I would like to nominate Vader for the list management position at the Crows. If he was in charge we would have off loaded at least another 12 players at the end of last season.:rolleyes:

Gold Coast were adamant at the end of 2011 that they had their man. It took a long time for some people to realise that Kurt and Blucher were playing everyone off against each other, knowing they had a full house (the Sydney deal up their sleeve). Please show me anyone who was closer to the...
