[Mutineer]

Free hit?

It's not a free hit, he takes a valuable list spot.

Hasn't played an AFL game since 2022.
2VFL games since 2022.

 

[Cromulant]

I’d absolutely prefer him to any of Schoenberg, Burgess, Smith or Strachan who are locked away another year.

Nope, not even remotely.

None of them need to be on an AFL list... but neither does Preuss

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I do wonder if they've gone back to Rutten at all for our senior role? Would kill two birds with one stone in getting an experienced coach in.

I can tell you, the animosity towards Rutten at ESS was palpable .....hasn't the commanding personality

He's a very average assistant Coach

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Nope, not even remotely.

None of them need to be on an AFL list... but neither does Preuss

I’ll take the unlikely chance Darren Burgess can turn Preuss into formidable competition to ROB over three players who emphatically shouldn’t be on our list. On reflection, Schoenberg a little harsh as he’s still young enough to somehow scrape a career together.

 

[Pugsley]

No way, he's cooked, and ROB is more than useless.

Agreed.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Free hit?

13 games in the last 4 years ....has never stuck 4 consecutive games together B4 getting injured

But he's made a lot of money NOT playing AFL

 

[jackster83]

I can tell you, the animosity towards Rutten at ESS was palpable .....hasn't the commanding personality

He's a very average assistant Coach

Sounds like a good fit for for us then!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Sounds like a good fit for for us then!

Mediocrity reigns supreme !

 

[Cromulant]

Sounds like a good fit for for us then!

Another guy whos perfectly fine as an assistant, no good as a senior coach.

Which is what we'd bring him back as....

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Another guy whos perfectly fine as an assistant, no good as a senior coach.

Which is what we'd bring him back as....

Amazing isn't it .....the board constantly blows up on nepotism for ex Crows players ....yet here we are advocating Rutten come back to the Crows as an assistant Coach

Why? .....give me a reason ....because all I can see is hypocrisy

 

[hippyhippy]

Free hit?

Didn't he chose to go to gws to be the backup? When there was a few clubs willing to play him as the number 1?

 

[WeeBlake]

On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

The most afc thing ever

 

[spenze]

Free hit?

How much work do you think Burgess is willing to take on?

 

[jackster83]

Why? .....give me a reason ....because all I can see is hypocrisy

As I've said previously, I don't want any more Neil Craig disciples.

Maybe an exception for Skipworth as he was only on the fringes during that time.

 

[Crow till I die]

How much work do you think Burgess is willing to take on?

What if he fixed him.........maybe not

 

[WaynesWorld19]

As I've said previously, I don't want any more Neil Craig disciples.

Skipworth, is simply a good development Coach ....I'm not sure how you've come to believe he's more

Another Bolton type Coach ....except Bolton is way better, except as a senior Coach .....got promoted beyond his capacity

 

[Mostyn]

thats cool. the key relevant people on this board know that it has been infiltrated at times by imposters including a previous high profile media personality. i have said my thing and blocked them so nothing else from me but you dont need to be einstein to work things out and see the truth. over and out

Crowmo/Sanders was a genius at sussing people out. He had a sixth sense for it.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

I hope Monty (if it is him) wasnt in charge of strategy at the Giants. The whole 'get a massive lead and choke' thing does nothing for me.

Why can’t the Giants walk their dogs?

Because they can’t hold onto a lead

 

[cleanhands]

Crowmo/Sanders was a genius at sussing people out. He had a sixth sense for it.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Crowmo/Sanders was a genius at sussing people out. He had a sixth sense for it.

When you spend 23 hours a day on an internet forum, a lot is possible.

 

[George Kramer]

No way, he's cooked, and ROB is more than serviceable.

So serviceable we dropped him

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

13 games in the last 4 years ....has never stuck 4 consecutive games together B4 getting injured

But he's made a lot of money NOT playing AFL

Injured himself running onto the ground for a warm up.

 

[George Kramer]

Skipworth, is simply a good development Coach ....I'm not sure how you've come to believe he's more

Another Bolton type Coach ....except Bolton is way better, except as a senior Coach .....got promoted beyond his capacity

And you know this how?

 

[LoBu]

Future 1st with GC's Pick 20 this year coming back....

It's a text book salary dump, we shouldn't be taking any less

If this was a firm offer GC would have agreed already (and driven Luko to the airport) and Luko would have asked for a trade by now.

Since Gibbs we have a policy not to put anything out in the media unless a trade can be made. If we are not moving on refusing a first to be involved it makes sense that we haven't heard anything yet.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

And you know this how?

I've posted about my links ....I get a lot of good intel that I don't share

So just take it as my opinion FWIW
