[Cromulant]

what evidence? coaches vote?

you realise the umpires got votes wrong in the brownlow with the daicos bros. coaches get confused too.

you have not even bothered to watch it FFS

Again with a REALLY poor argument.

2 coaches, 1 being the premiership coach and 1 being HIS OWN coach.... got him wrong.

Mate, honestly

[Cromulant]

Here's the thing. Others think he knows what hes doing or he wouldn't be there. Perhaps you can do a better job?

Over here (Melbs) he is the only person in the adelaide media who has any cred at all.

Unlike others on here I'm not going to just flop over and change my opinion Tony.

You'd be a Kyle and Jackie O listener wouldn't you

 

[ABAB]

The guy was there for only 1 season lol.

 

[texanmike]

Is it possible to keep this thread to just rumours & speculation? its annoying asf reading the arguments in here, take it to private messages.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Yeah, but that was a long year. Not having mum to do his laundry.

 

[crow2crow]

Nah SEN in the morning
Although I cant listen to bicks and walshy. shocking programme.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Managed to get some intel on Peatling from my contact. The Crows are offering the best deal by far in terms of pure $$$, if he stays at the Giants it will be for less money (even with the extra year added today). We have given this our best shot, it he stays then there’s genuinely not much else we could have done.

 

[50BC]

Unless he's an employee with a contract which prohibits it, he's a self employed contractor who will have such terms within his contract. Or not.
It's similar to an ABC person who writes a book. Many have so I don't see the difference.

The difference is a book doesn't involve your face and voice appearing regularly on commercial TV stations.

 

[FR0GGY]

AFL games ?? I doubt it.

Absolutely he would.

 

[George Kramer]

Not a chance ! .....he's fishing all the time, that's his passion

His son playing AFL has what bearing on Rowes footy knowledge, prey tell ?

Geesus ....I could get a job as a SANFL coach these days .....are the assistants actually paid, or are they volunteers now

No you couldn’t once they’ve read your posting history

Top of the page if you want just rumors

 

[cmndstab]

all of your view is based on this party thinks hes worth this or that. have you actually watched these supposedly best afield performances? I did and this is how I formed my view. Not fantasy points, not coaches votes, by carefully looking at his positioning, who who had on him, his disposal under pressure and so on... Shit can me all you like. I dont care its my view. I would only give up a third.

No, I haven't. I couldn't even tell you what he looks like, other than apparently he has a long neck?

I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge my complete ignorance in this case.

Agreed, stop quoting Wayne

 

[Cromulant]

Absolutely he would.

He just wouldn't

He spends more of his time fishing than he would watching AFL

Confidence levels?

You could watch 100 games a week, if you’ve got shit for brains it won’t make a difference, we’ve got clear examples on here

Agree with that.

Yeah I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get him, but won’t be disappointed or mad at the club on this one

Appears we’re going as hard as we can

Reads like a concession summary from your source to be fed to fans.

That's fine. But with salary space I don't want to end up empty handed like usual.
The list isn't quite there.

 

[ABAB]

Yeah, but that was a long year. Not having mum to do his laundry.

Would have been very funny had the reporter called him up on it, "Weren't you only there for a year?".

 

[Cromulant]

We've offered him a better deal than his current side.

It's all we can do.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Confidence levels?

Was only a gut feel from them, but they thought he likely stays as there’s more opportunities with Cumming and Perryman gone to be a best 22 regular.

He wouldn't stay there to play half back, he wants midfield minutes.
