It's simple - we tolerate mediocrity and have gone away from being a high-achieving, performance-driven organisation.
A proper review would result in breaking up the boys club and the board... We don't do that here sadly.

This useless club need to invest in some sort of comms team. Do they even monitor this, ****ing chaos. Any competent team would've stifled this before it leaked or addressed it immediately.
Well maybe Nicks went to interview Sid. Based on his track record of interviewing players who decide not to come, Sid would only be another name on the long and distinguished list.
This rumour started on Twitter and has been debunked on twitter.

I didn't like the way Rachele was treated, not everyone I know, or who are Crows fans agree however.

Let’s talk about Nicks track record of retaining young talent, and interstate young talent
Let’s not forget prior to Nicks the club had an average record of retaining players, under Nicks we have kept the young kids that we have wanted to retain
I get the criticism of Nicks but honestly it’s become a pile-on, and people have now lost the ability to seperate what he has done well, and where has he failed

Negative story about the crows drops right before trade period when we are trying to attract a player port also want. Wouldn't put it past them......

happy to have a difference of opinion on clearly has a connection
Who's working in public relations for the club at the moment? Just shit show after shit show and all the club can manage is a Yay ROB on your community award.
Port spin a mountain of bullshit to find a positive narrative and we just sit on our hands scoff tilt our nose up and lay the well we're still the number 1 team in SA on thick then blame anyone but the club.
It's bloody embarrassing and they wonder why players are choosing to play at Port over our club.

Dealing with this stuff is beneath us
We operate on a higher plain
Us garden variety fans might get worried and want the club to act but:
Club: Let them eat cake
Ian Shuttleworth (ex Ch10 footy reporter) and Reece Homfray (ex Advertiser sports journo) are two of the higher-ups in our Media / Comms teams. Two seemingly well-credentialed operators who I’d expect better from TBH.
Our club always seem very shut off in the media outside posts that appeal to the older happy-clapping crowd. Certainly don’t see any memes or younger-focused engagement either.

Yep. With all of the talk of off-season changes, I really hope the PR / comms function is towards the top of the pile. It's been a shitshow for as long as I can remember now.
Their inability to get in front of stories and control the narrative beggars belief sometimes.
This could well be true and, if so, I'd be genuinely horrified that a reporter is having a negative impact on my kids draft chances. I'd be making a statement to the contrary if I was them, or his manager. So let's see what happens.
Now we can’t even get SA based players that haven’t been drafted wanting play for us.
Seriously, sack the CEO, sack the coach, sack everyone over 30. Let’s start again. Been a laughing stock for too long.

We're not shit.
We averaged over 41K at our home games this year.
Port were under 38K at theirs
We had an extra 43k at our H&A games
KPI's reached.

Reality is not every SA kid wants to stay in SA, or even wants to come back to SA.
Some talented footy mad kids want to be in the big lights and footy hub of Melbourne
This is not a club issue
Phillipou was the same, preferring to head to Victoria, and I don’t think will ever head back to SA club, Grundy didn’t want to live in SA, and more recently Solo partner moved over and headed back home quickly.
It’s a real issue

Once you are a premiership player things change.
If you are an 18 year old as if you wouldn't want to go play in Victoria for a big club. If you are any good the SA clubs will always have you later in your career if you want to move back.
