This thread is from months ago - what no new material?After last year driving Brett Burton into the ground, by playing him with a dodgy knee, the mumbling cancer has not learnt and now it's Porplyzia whose season is over and his preseason stuffed after being played with a dodgy shoulder for the last two months.
9 days before the GF ?All I hear is crickets chirping. Nice try Toots even though some claim it to be a "good troll"
The specific point was Craigs poor management of Porplyzia's situation.
Craig has a habit of running his players into the ground. 2006 he had the list flying then flogged them on the track because his scientific approach demanded he pump an extra 10% of core fitness into them before the finals. Result? A train wreck of injuries and loss of form.
Last year he flogged Brett Burton despite him having a knee injury and Porplyzia is the latest victim of this approach. By contrast Choco gets his players to the surgeon in time to be ready for next season.
So what the Camry's have got is a defective match day coach whose main claim to fame is his background in sports science but who has a terrible record with injury management.
There's anger on the Crows board at present about the mishandling of Porplyzia.I'll translate this for everyone--
Craig has a habit of getting the best if not more out of an ordinary list.

Anyway Toot, you and I both know that every club (esp on BF) has it's supporters who go off the rails. I've seen it on the Port board as well.
It's what BF is for.

We'll just coast along , rebuilding and giving our lads finals experience until Geelong are too old to win a flag or Buddy does a knee (which by the way I hope he doesn't as I reckon he is fantastic) until there is a realistic opportunity to win a flag.

This is why so many Crow supporters are known as corporate bandwagoners.
Real supporters want their team to be the very best in the land, to win the premiership by merit.
Whereas the above proves that Subaru Byakko here wants her team not to strive for excellence, but to "just coast along" hoping to get lucky, and fluke another flag.
That is why so many footy fans laugh at, rather than with, crow corporate bandwagoners
