[Hodgy]

Well kris I think most normal people in this state are totally on board with you.

Andrew Mackay leaving Carlton at the end of the season...

Couldn’t do worse, Birdman was totally out of his depth on Saturday, lucky Pyke was there to save that train wreak of a presser.

I vote for Brett Burton to be in charge of the Salisbury North Football Club

So you made it up ... as no link to it .. oh well..

Yep I made it up. Just like PB, JI, PR and SPP were all made up.

Where does that leave you?

Burton is copping it from every direction with a number of media outlets focused on his poor performance, which has only made the situation worse. The club can’t be oblivious to it all, will they do something about it?

"baton down the hatches - those bloody Victorians"

So you’re proud of all at the Crows? Every single one?

I'm sorry mate I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

Fagan is a fraud, he'll remain in hiding until shit turns around. He promoted Brett Burton into his role, he's responsible for his performance. He doesn't want to remind anyone that he exists at the moment.

I get the impression Roo was probably twisting his arm to get Burton into the role?

And now that has turn to poo, Fagan doesn't want anything to do with it.

Well I am always proud of the whole team, more importantly I admire them greatly. I've never criticised any person ever for doing a job that I know I can't do as well and So I will happily criticise say the Red Bull strategy guy who brought Dan Riccardo in when he was only 27 seconds ahead of Vettel with a 28 second delta, as I know I could have done that better, but I can honestly say as a guy who has been in business for 30 years that AFC recruiting and management are bloody good and I honestly doubt I could do better. Hence as a supporter, yes I am proud of them.

Haven't read all 74 pages , and what I have heard is not corroborated .....but strong message I have been told is that the issue is our indigenous players and Burtons lack of understanding about another culture. The issue is his disrespectful reaction and handling of the stuff that came out of the camp at the time it all happened. Hard to put this in words but in a nutshell he showed that he has no understanding and little respect for indigenous culture ....and may still be blissfully unaware of this even at this moment in time.

What I have heard the issue is not properly resolved in the minds of the impacted parties as yet.

I am a sack Burton voter for what it is worth.

This.
Burton has 'dealt' with the issue and is happy he has 'sorted it out'
But the people affected, don't feel they have been listened to or been understood.

But categorically, there are no lingering issues

So even if there was someone incompetent at the club you would be proud of them because you couldn’t do better?

Well I'm not incompetent so if there was someone at the club who was incompetent I would know I could do better. And I can promise you there is no one at our club that fits that bill that I know of. We actually have an amazingingly well run club, which I admit is unusual in SA, but we do.
The media here however...?

 

[Mike Smyth]

Did injecting 18 year olds with banned drugs get this much coverage. Look, we're famous, in a Divine Brown/Hugh Grant sort of way.

You didn't watch the press conference? Would you agree at the very least Burton is incompetent?

So you classify the guy who has run a failed fitness program this year, who brought in unqualified mind gurus to run a failed mind program and who embarrassed the club at a press conference as competent?

 

[FR0GGY]

So do we start the Burton for Bolivia campaign?
Or Burton for Bolivar?

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

Re N Smart, from talking to people outside the Club he doing a good job at the Crows, remember he not in the Football dept area he is putting in the hours in the Adelaide Sport and Entertainment side of the club a separate body to the Football dept. So I guess we judge Smart on how that works,
ie Legacy, Bite and their media productions.

Burton different story, hearing all sort of mixed messages, not many good ones.
I leaning to one story that only one of either Burton or Hass will be around next year. maybe both disappearing. Some are even saying he hanging Hass out to dry. Rumors only not facts or proof.
Burton body langue from the press conference was not good, He looked like a boy sent to the lions and acted like one.

Don’t tease !

I don't know what press conference you are referring to but my knowledge of Brett Burton is that he is someone that any normal person should admire. A nothing kid from Whyalla who has made himself a high flying football manager at an AFL club and a champion footballer by the age of less than 40 then no I wouldn't call him incompetent by any stretch.

Thanks Brett, now do the honorable thing.

You don’t know what press conference? Have you been underground?

As for the rest of your post, that’s an example of a not normal opinion.

I don't know if you're referring to Burton or the fitness guy but I can tell you with 100% certainty that the mind guru guys you refer too would have presented to the AFC board before they would have come in. Nothing of that level happens without the board being involved and not sure using the adjective "unqualified" is fair for you to use.

Brisbane rejected these clowns. Allegedly Burton didn’t go through the proper channels to get it through here.
Doesn’t sound like the brightest bloke around.
