News Adelaide Uni partnership

[Jack is Back]

Not suggesting it is, I'm just lamenting something that will be lost and can never be retrieved.

Don't have a problem with the use of facilities etc.

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah ..............

As a former Blacks premiership player I'm 100% in agreement with the proposal.

The only problem is that the Blacks will have to find a new jumper design because they have been copying the Poort Poower design (for the last 100 years) .

Nice replies people. Stay classy.

 

[chiwigi]

Yeah piss off this doesn't concern you.

I'd better give my masters back to the uni then.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Let me get this right ..so the port supporter doesn't agree with the idea, now there's a surprise.

 

[headache1]

Too right. Being a Port supporter, you obviously stole it off some poor bastard who actually earnt the thing anyway!

 

[1970crow]

And that is the next bit. Crows to leave Footy Park and build a whole new facility at the Uni grounds.

hope not, triggy just left. we don't have anyone left who could manage such a task.

 

[1970crow]

As long as we don't have all those students hanging around our clubrooms!

Slippery Pete disagrees strongly

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The Blacks have been finding it harder to get good players over the last 5-10 years. Even slipped to Div 2. What worked in the past is more difficult. It is no longer the case that every Uni student plays for them automatically.

Now amateur clubs are better at hanging on to their players, U18's meld with the senior teams, plus they are able to pay a few bucks. A lot of college old scholar teams sniffing around Div 1/2 as well and these colleges were once Uni's major source of players.

PAOC has six senior teams now! Much stronger link to the school.

This change might be exactly what the Blacks need to turn themselves back into a club of choice for good players.

No no, if that is what you want then UNISA Magill is where the Crows should be building clubrooms. Best location for attractive young women in Adelaide.

What would the current make up of the Blacks be between current students, former students and people not associated with the Uni?

Flinders goes alright.

 

[Wright Away]

Flinders goes alright.

Yeah I know a few ladies that go/went there and they are pretty tidy.

 

[Jars458]

Nice replies people. Stay classy.

FWIW, I agree with what you are saying and some of the responses you got, were, as you imply, very unclassy. Uni do not pay players and rightly have amateur ideals. I wonder if anyone at the actual Uni or Sports Association has been made aware of these plans. Lots of obstacles that I can see.

paoc can go and get effed.

 

[Skippos]

How big are their club rooms?

Small. The stand there wouldn't hold that many and both clubrooms are under the stand. To make it a viable option serious work would have to be done and I think that's the major obstacle.

I think they have been. AU Sport will be the obstacle, I'd say.

Port has an allegiance with superTAFE now, noone sooked. We are going to have an allegiance with UofA. Don't sook. Its unbecoming of UofA Alumni.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Jars really needs to visit the port board occassionally to get some perspective.

 

[radiojake]

FFS a Port supporter brings up a genuine point and the same numpties jump down this throat -

Grow up

You need to grow up

 

[fabs33]

I like the idea, and if it benefits both parties then I see no reason for it not to go ahead.

 

[Mike Smyth]

You need to grow up

you need to wise up.

 

[RossFC]

I'm sure the 8 other SANFL clubs would be happy since you won't have to borrow their players anymore.
Win for everyone.

 

[rocket18]

Sounds a lot better option thn our current top up player system. Hopefully this is the first of many "repairs" that will be made in the wake of our old admin.

Nobody is forcing UofA to do anything they don't want to. Maybe they want to be aligned with a premier national sporting organisation.

Stop being such a drama queen.

It's where my missus went and I'm biased but she's alright
