Crows Chat That 'Doesnt Deserve Its Own Thread' Thread part 2

[crow2crow]

Going by 2021 Financials they have commercial debt of just over $5m and we have commercial debt of $4.5m.

In saying that, they also have another $1.6m which is to be repaid to the AFL at some point and they have a government grant liability in their balance sheet of $1.5m (for it to be classified as a liability I assume the government wants its money back).

Remember that as at the end of 2019 we had repaid all our commercial debt and didn’t require to borrow from the AFL during the pandemic (we went to a commercial bank).

As a former banker, understood reading of balance sheets/profit and loss a/cs.

Yeh well there was one key line item missing from the port balance sheet.

TARPS BUY-BACK $5M

Not sure if this is the right place to come and ask, Crows fans, but I'm interviewing Brett Burton for my podcast, and was wondering if you had any questions (non-camp related) you'd like us to ask him? Particularly if you had a soft spot for any certain defenders in that era?

Cheers, and apologies for intruding (if there is a better thread I could have posted this in, would love for you to point me in the right direction).

If any of you were still interested:

Decided to watch the Crows 1997 GF. The pure difference in quality of umpiring to today is astonishing.

After seeing Insta posts by both Tex and Sloane over the weekend, I realised that neither of them were at the SANFL Prelim final (Tex in Noosa, Sloane in Fiji). I was quite surprised (and a little disappointed). Were any of the other seniors at the game supporting the boys?

Our team was a little bit better too.

Doedee was.

The last time Tex went along to an SANFL game...

Good point! He might have even been banned from attending! But Sloane?

Needed the break ASAP after carrying the club on his shoulders all year.

That’s the thing. Hasn’t played and there are weeks to go before preseason training. He could have hung around and supported his team.

He was definitely at the QF, along with Doedee, TT and McPherson.

He must have banked on us losing…

How long is a flight to Fiji?

How long is a flight to Fiji?

About 5 hours from Adelaide

Finished listening to Eddie’s book today… I really hate how the media hijacked it for their own grubby purposes.

Good read?

I gather there wasn't much on the camp that we didn't already know.

Yeah worth reading.

As Jenny said a shame it was hijacked. Far more to it than the Camp.

The death of his Grandfather far more important in terms of societal consciousness.

Actually pretty poor from both of them - especially considering they are meant to be leaders of the club (Sloane in an offical capacity).

For the club Captain, who has been injured all year, to not bother attending a preliminary final is really poor form. He's the CLUB Captain, not the Captain of the AFL team only.
He should be there supporting the young kids. He should be encouraging and engaged.

It's actually terrible.

Unfortunately, I suspect that the culture of our senior players believing they have a right etc... has not gone yet.
Tex talked previously about needing more talent in the midfield - he was talking about getting Crouch back in the side.

Our Senior players are looking after our Senior players still. Not the club as a whole.

We still need a distinct change.

The fact that we employed Sauce Jacobs as our 'fan favourite' after he put himself above the club for a 1 year extension to his career, tells you the club still doesn't get it.

that's actually not correct in my understanding

I got it as a birthday present the other week, but was reading another book at the time so haven't started it yet.

Noticed there were 23 chapters and the camp took up 1 (ie 4% of the book). While the media hype over the camp would've definitely helped sales, even at a glance it's clear it took up very little of Eddie's story.

QF before the players started annual leave, PF while the players are on annual leave perhaps?
