Roast Cripps - time to go

Remove this Banner Ad

I'm not happy Houston wanted to leave and I am not convinced that Jack will deliver on what we have given up for him.

But, when Cripps traded to get JHF to Port, the posters on this thread were kissing his arse.

What a bunch of pathetic keyboard warriors.

He has delivered as per the "purchase order".

imo it has been the coaches, the development program, the fitness team and the fact we "have to" play in the snafl that's been more of a problem than our list management
Bloody well said.
 
This is what happens when you continually trade away futire picks for mediocre players for the here and now to keep an average coach happy and a Prez that thinks making finals is a pass and thats good enough, not a high distinction or a high high distinction.

JHF is the exception.

Trade out our 2024 F1 last year to Freo to help get Ratugolea and Soldo and this year panic that have no decent picks in a good draft and do a panic shit trade.


The day of reckoning is coming for several individuals at the club.
The day of reckoning will never come. It's long gone.

We are a football club ponzi scheme
 
Cripps was never good. We lucked out big time with GWS coming along to facilitate the JHF deal because of their desperation to get Cadman. Every other year has been mediocre or terrible.

Excuse the intrusion but as a Crow he seems to have done a decent job or am I still burning from you guys trading up to get Rozee whilst we kept our picks for Jones and McHenry.

As for trading with Gold Coast we’ve been there bitches for awhile.

Couldn't get through it, i'll paraphrase but cripps said we explored all options before finalising the best deal for Dan...seems clear at no stage did we even entertain holding him too contract?! Just folded like a deck of cards.

Then says its not a salary dump, ratkins can add solid depth across multiple positions and leadership at the club. Had to turn off after that as it was sickening listening. Pathetic from everyone involved.
The best deal for Dan, not the club!

Might be reading too much into that.
 
Gold Coast salary dump to Geelong - Jack Bowes + Pick 7 for a future 3rd rounder
Gold Coast salary dump to Port - Rory Atkins + Pick 50 and a pick upgrade from 39 to 36

one of these things is not like the other

Yer, the AFL has really cracked down on that sort of shit now :roflv1:
 
Over the 2023/24 trade periods

Out: Dan Houston, 2024 1st, 2025 1st, steakknives
In: Ivan Soldo, Esava Ratugolea, Jack Lukosius, Joe Richards, Pick 13, steakknives.

Getting Sweet and Lukosius is great, but those are deals we could have done without including the enormous losses. It's an absolute list management disaster. We've lost an insane amount of value for what is potentially 1 starter.

There.. There’s the difference between the great teams and us.

Geelong, an utterly ruthless club, held Gold Coast to cough up and a top 10 fúcking TOP 10 PICK in a National Draft, and Jack Bowes is a player that they wanted.

Us on the other hand, we allowed ourselves to be bullied and be royale fúcked to just to bring in Rory freaking Atkins.

Anyone with half a brain would have pulled out of this deal and told Dan you’re saying whether you like it or not.

Sydney another great team held Papley to his contract, and he had a completely different and way reasonable reason to leave the Swans. Sydney held Tom to his contract like a good, ruthless club does, despite the reason.

There's the difference.

Papley is the perfect example here. A similar level of player who also wanted out for a big Vic club who couldn't provide adequate compensation, and Sydney just said no and everyone got on with life.

We're cucks.
 
Why does the club have the exact same people in the highest positions for over a decade , koch and our board are insanely lazy
Yep we did a big sweep in 2012, and it had decent results for a few years, probs should have done that again in 2017.
