[crow2crow]

Sounds like bullshit to me given he's with the same management team as Riley Thilthorpe. Max Michalanney and Billy Dowling that I know of.

josh money is a campaigner

 

[Scorpus]

Unfortunately I don't think this rumor is damaging enough

Can we get something that makes Nicks' position untenable thanks?

 

[The Karma Bus]

When you're in the doldrums on field as we are you become a punching bag with all this stuff

 

[George Kramer]

They are such a lot of whingeing babies. sorry - don't mean to be rude, but it's extraordinary the lengths some people will go to to find the most negative take

Give us the positives then and not just the negatives about this board. So if you’re upset with the whingeing contribute something for once

 

[pjcrows]

I mean, it's almost like the club is a total basketcase devoid of leadership.

You mean like his win loss record?

 

[Bugga1962]

It's like they were trying a modern take on Malcolm Blight style punishment, dressing down one of their own players in front of the media, but they were doing it in an age of social media and rising youth depression. It's just incredible to me that they could be so tone deaf.

Scary isn't it to be that out of touch with how the world works now. They are so far out of their depth it's laughable. That's why they are getting absolutely torched by the other teams on and off the field

 

[FR0GGY]

50% of your posts are whinging about people complaining.

 

[Multiballz]

This reminds me of a post match press conference for some reason.

 

[Scorpus]

Normally that would be enough, but not for us!

 

[Runnin Blue]

This is worse than the punting intervention I endured at the hands of my family and friends a few Christmas' ago.

Care to point out what you disagree with in my post?

 

[Multiballz]

What's your spin?

P.S:. No plagiarising Wayne-the-wonder-troll.

Roo

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Roo

Fair call. Unbelievably tone deaf comments to the media are his special skill.

 

[George Kramer]

85% of your posts are whinging about people complaining.

You’re too generous Froggy, FIFY

 

[PeterSalt]

Fair call. Unbelievably tone deaf comments to the media are his special skill.

The other thing that keeps popping up in my mind is Roo and his demand to negotiate the best deal on everything, that often others in media who've known him for 30 years laugh about (Brereton, Dunstall)

Starting to wonder if Roo's has a used car sales approach to list management that is completely ****ing us

 

[bonehilda]

You’re too generous Froggy, FIFY

I genuinely think it’s 100%, I can’t recall a single Buckets post that wasn’t just being upset at another poster for criticising the club

 

[Peter Doherty]

I'm convinced the stench of loser from this club is rubbing off onto the fans.

We need to stop being so sensitive.

I completely agree the treatment of Rachele was rubbish. I don't know who this reporter is, but I'm hearing he has an agenda. Of course he's going to bring up the Rachele story out of the blue to deflect from the Power's finals disaster.

Reality is, the idiots responsible for the Rachele treatment are all still in place. Stories like this just assist in applying pressure for change.

The intent from the story likely wasn't to help the club, it might though.

 

[Drewie11]

Hang on so people want to draft a 182cm midfielder now? The last few years everyone has been calling the club out for drafting under 185cm midfielders. Make your minds up people

It’s a slur on Draper too so we should expect his management to come out and nip it in the butt

Some people, you’re generalizing.

My view is it's true. Power nuffy journo looking to use whatever he has on Adelaide.

Why would anyone just make something up like this? It's completely believable.

Likely had this information for weeks, comes out after Power are knocked out..

Power got knocked out days ago, everyone has forgotten about that now.

I also think it’s true but some on here are discounting it. But that Port timing is a bit of long bow

Comes out right as everyone’s knickers are in a knot over Lukosios and Cumming.

They’re fishing and some are biting. F*****g dumb.
