Having all our in demand Assistants locked away doesn't help. I can't beleive one of the three main assistants don't come out of contract every 12 months.

I'm thinking it's a case of all in, all go down with the ship (if that's what happens).

 

[jenny61_99]

I think Buckley knows he only has one more go at it to make a name for himself as a coach. The Eagles are coming from a long way back.

I'd really love him here.

 

[GreyCrow]

Not really, they're having trouble attracting candidates because they know that the Eagles' list is a mess and there a few years of pain still to come.

Thats fair but Cox would have extra grace years because he is Dean Frikkin Cox!

And no the others wouldnt because the WC board are quick to act

Cumming- Hasn't made his decision yet, seems he is waiting until Port finish and then will have a final meeting with both clubs and make his decision. Maker of that what you will.
EH- Basically confirmed he will go to suns
Kennedy - Not moving interstate if he does move

Been touched on plenty of times. He is separated and has at least one kid in school still... Won't move interstate

He goes to Port to up their offer

 

[GreyCrow]

Our fitness was head and shoulders above the other teams that year thanks to Craig's extra training and tapering leading into the finals - something most teams do these days. But at the time, it was innovative and provided a competitive advantage.

Cahill was doing it before Craig

 

[Cromulant]

Cahill was doing it before Craig

As was Jack Oatey

 

[Bazz_27]

He goes to Port to up their offer

I think ti could be that or he could be waiting until Port are finished to announce he is going there (which despite Battle nominating Hawks is the norm)

 

[Cromulant]

Dont think so.

If there was a trade that needed doing then sure.

 

[jenny61_99]

Cahill was doing it before Craig

It wasn't done at AFL level though.

 

[jenny61_99]

As was Jack Oatey

And who did Craig learn from?

My guess with Cumming is we are favourites but he has to see what Port offer first.

Port can't offer until they know more about Luko and Perryman. Doesn't mean we are not first choice but just making sure he can't squeeze anything more out of us.

Crows offer is currently the best on the table.

 

[119others]

Youre basically calling him out as a Port supporter with an alias account. Youre right

There is a few on here that joined around the time of the last showdown.

Interesting that they never have a negative point to make about Port or their hatred of them.

Yep agreed mate. There’s a few of them and I have made the mods aware of multiple but these guys are busy enough without chasing pathetic poeple posing as Crows fans. One I have already called out a few times and another very obvious one to me. How is it obvious to spot:

• they often start posting life on non Crows thread normally praising Power (JHf) whilst comparing us unfavourably.
• constantly bagging us ALWAYS. One poster even when we smashed Power in showdown one this year ONLY posted about Powers awesome midfield and he could feel their superior talent starting to take over at some point. NOT one word of praise to Crows for thrashing them and our players “lining them up from 50” and snagging the goal. Actually not normally one word of praise for us at all whilst praising Power UNTIL they are called out.
• regular false claims about how Crows made various errors despite them being factually incorrect (Henderson becoming AA after he left us - WRONG. Crows should have traded up for Pavlich when he was drafted = WRONG as wasn’t an option.)
• choose to normally post on negative threads rather than any positive threads.
• just read the history of a few and it’s blatantly obvious. The need to clarify “we” is the Crows (by putting crows in brackets after using the word “we” an absolute giveaway)
• when called out their communication and responses differ to previous posting history. One Power fan upon being called out started with “chill out dude” or some shit which was 180 degree different language to anything ever used.

If these people are so bored in life that they need to pretend to barrack for us to get off then all I can say is…what a waste of a life.

Thankfully likely to disappear once Power lose this weekend.

See you Saturday

 

[GreyCrow]

I love JHF

I dont care if Port win this week or next but if they do hopefully they light a rocket up us ( but I doubt it now)

 

[119others]

They had seven games against the bottom four sides, which they won with ease.

The easiest draw by an absolute mile.

And Power had the 8th based team as their highest double up game. So only one finalist compared to 5 for us.

 

[GreyCrow]

I laugh at this revisionist history

Maybe they finished higher because they beat up on us

 

[crow2crow]

So much so you have clearly attempted to purge this from your memory!

(Watching the Giants cough up the 44 point lead reminded me of the '93 prelim. Try hard as I can, can't purge that memory )

Yeh i was at that 93 one too. That was way worse

 

[crow2crow]

I rate him so highly!

Yeh he is super fast for his size that shocked me on the weekend

 

[crow2crow]

He goes to Port to up their offer

this smells of trying to use to up offer by his agent

 

[Cromulant]

this smells of trying to use to up offer by his agent

As he should

 

[BRL121]

this smells of trying to use to up offer by his agent

Clearly. His agent has said openly that he hasn't made up his mind yet, and he is waiting until Port are out of finals to have have another round of meetings with Adelaide and Port. This is code for upping the offers.
