[Crouch#44]

If such an issue why do we sign so many young players.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

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

If Runnin Blue did an intervention:

 

[Multiballz]

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.

Reality is they where Idiots long before the Rachele thing.

There IS NO DEFENCE OF THIS SHITSHOW.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

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

Particularly Ken...

 

[Peter Doherty]

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

Regardless. If some Power nuff wants to apply pressure, go for it. If there was a really strong AFC supporter in the media, it's the sort of work they should be doing.

It may benefit us.

I'm sure most here want change, if the spotlight on the club makes supporters uncomfortable, they may just have to suck it up.

Was Theo Doropolous a Crows man? Feels like he would always handle the Crows stories when he was here. Positive and Negative. Bring Theo back

He was an employee. Never struck me as someone with a passion for the club.

 

[Cromulant]

He did the gameday stuff but is originally from WA I think.

Bit like Jarrod Walsh, he cheers for whoever pays him.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

If that Draper rumour is true... why do we even bother with this club anymore?

Remember when Keane walked out on the club due to their handling of Rachele? Neither do I, because it was fiction.

Draft combine is very soon, clubs will no doubt ask Draper whether he actually said this and it won’t take long for that to leak.

It's simple.

Get Josh to sir down and have a chat with he and his family. Don't have any club officials there at all.

Some Port nuff? What makes you think he is?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

I thought it was just that he wanted to be drafted by a Melb club

Josh has probably done some further digging after reading that, I'm guessing

That isn’t true though, he’s perfectly ok with heading to the Eagles and understands he’s number one on their board. It’s looking like Lalor and FOS could be the first two picks, not sure on order. Jagga Smith a name I’ve heard for our pick if Lalor and Draper were gone.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Bit hard from Europe

Why would other clubs care if he doesn’t want to go to the crows?

 

[Cromulant]

Josh Money ?? Oh big time.

 

[Cromulant]

Bit hard from Europe

He won't be there forever

 

[Peter Doherty]

Some Port nuff? What makes you think he is?

People who know who he is have mentioned it on here. Also had someone offline mention it to me today.

As I say, it's not important what his intention even is. The spotlight is what we are after.

 

[Mutineer]

Sid would already have had multiple catch ups with our SA based recruiters, most likely Shane Edwards and at least several meetings with Hamish himself during the season given he's in our pick range.. Unless it's acknowledged by his management or the lad himself it's likely Josh Money's fabricated the story.

 

[Mostyn]

Isn’t Facebook the place where the happy go to clap?

Mostly recently it's crazy people ranting about the disaster of the club.

Unless it's acknowledged by his management or the lad himself it's likely Josh Money's fabricated the story.

This would be a very dangerous game, all it would take is for Sid or his management to say that’s utter rubbish (and if it’s not true it would be absolutely in their interest to debunk it, given he’s a good chance of being our pick.)

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

Winning hides a multitude of sins

If Runnin Blue did an intervention:

That was beautiful

 

[baaaallllll]

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

At the intervention did they take bets on you giving up punting?

We call them normies.

 

[KPWorld]

I'm sorry but the timing of this story is interesting.

We have a player choosing between us and port and then this story comes out.

It feels like media manipulation.

This is dirty politics.
