How do we open Adelaide Oval?

[DoubleBlue2]

Maybe we could get a $14,000,000 handout and spend it on free ****ing T shirts.

Yes, let's blame Port Power for our **** ups, that'll fix everything.

Please point out where I've blamed Port for our **** ups, or STFU with your smart arse comments.

STFU? Hard man talk there.

Why even mention them if not to deflect onto them? Our problems are our problems caused by us, no more no less and involving them in it deflects from the true culprits of shit coaching and poor management.

Another point, where was the recognition of the SANFL clubs? Why not have each club captain there or something?

Yeah OK, still don't see me blaming Port for anything.

For people to moan about Port giving out free T-shirts, and that the crows didn't, then it's perfectly OK to point out how Port are able to do that and that the crows aren't $14,000,000 beneficiaries of handouts…probably because they don't spend money they haven't got.

Irrelevant and distracting, they do what they want as it shouldn't affect us and shouldn't turn us away from the real issue which is Sando.

They do what they want with money they've never earned. So how is that blaming Port for the Crows situation?

i don't think any crow supporter should be talking about 14 mil or really 18 mil port got when trigg announced during the week that crows never payed a cent for renting aami which was worth 2 mil a year they had a free 40 year lease on the place. That's a 46 mil hand out they have got since joining the comp, something port never got. Hence why on projected money why there is a big difference on who will get allot more out of adelaide oval and why adelaide need to pay allot more for there licence. TALK ABOUT MASSIVE HANDOUTS.

 

[DoubleBlue2]

Now this thread is distracted by it.

Should have all been about footy and the return to the stadium. A cavalcade of past Adelaide Oval legends, e.g. Robran, Kerley, Cornes would have been appropriate, with highlights of great moments of the past on the big screen.

I really liked the crow noise, am I the only one?

Didn't think it was childish at all

Everyone around us liked it, anyone I've spoken to liked it..
First thing we've had that's a bit ominous in a long time and not so "let's all have fun and clap to a crow meter"..
It also wasn't some big carry on, just short and simple but effective..

Usually I either don't like or don't care for all that sort of stuff, this was good though..
The visuals on the screen was the best part I think, some who didn't go to the game just think they played the crow through speakers..

Don't recall too many supporters getting annoyed when we traded Bernie Vince last November or too many getting annoyed when we signed J-Pod as a free agent.

Don't remember many saying it was a bad idea and it wouldn't amount to anything much at all.

Seems many were very happy with that but now we are losing, it's a good idea to bitch about how we do t do the little things.

I was super annoyed when we traded bernie. Look it up.

 

[Allefgib]

Another point, where was the recognition of the SANFL clubs? Why not have each club captain there or something?

No. Never again.
Sanfl had their chance to be recognized but screwed us over. And they no longer hold or license.
Seeya.

Do you think the Williamstown captain would be at the etihad opening? Hell no.

I'm with you man

 

[DoubleBlue2]

But we are the SANFL, why not recognise our history. Stupid.

 

[Allefgib]

We tried and were declined. We move on.

 

[Papa G]

No your not, you are the Adelaide Football Club. Most SANFL clubs at best saw you as their cash cow, at worst despised you.

 

[The Karma Bus]

We need to move on, that was the beginning..
We are now free.. We need to be our own club on it's own, in another competition..
Let's kill the composite club shit..

The SANFL Clubs made it quite clear where they stood when they rejected our jumper in round 1 ..... so f**** them.

They're happy to pimp off us since 1991 and now for the next xx years too.

Rubbish, the jumper was a bloody stupid move by stupid admin, not the clubs fault that they tried something so idiotic.

Imagine those losses in that jumper and it would make the embarrassment ten times worse.

It wasnt a stupid move - it was a recognition of where we evolved from.

Anyway, we wont agree and its the wrong thread.

So who will be propping up the SANFL now?

 

[Mike Smyth]

You would have to give Port an A+ for their marketing campaign over the last 6 months, as for us, do we even have a marketing dept.

BTW who is paying for Ports marketing?

I believe the SANFL's raping of the 2 AFL Clubs (and in particular the Crows) will continue by virtue of having that raping now institutionalized via the SMA and other related AO agreements.
