Player Watch Josh Rachele - Sent To The Gulag!

[Rory Walkerfield]

Seriously, the gaslighting of our young players by the club knows no bounds.

No wonder our development is so shit, the club and senior players will do anything to destroy the confidence of the kids.

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

Hawks embraced ginnivan for who he is and he is flourishing…

Adelaide need to do the same with Rachele

The goal celebrations have been over the top at the hawks this year and it's great for the players imo.
Why can't they show a bit of personality?

Rachele poking a bit of fun at the crowd is exactly this.

This club is so ****ed.

If Josh packs his bags and leave I would not blame him one bit.

Don't think that's a worry.
I had no idea he was signed till next decade, I doubt many teams would want to take on that length of contract.

We all saw that footage of Murphy letting his man waltz past him on a number of occasions against the Hawks.

He’s one of our supposed leaders. How about send a ****ing message there. Not to a kid showing a bit of personality.

 

[Crowbling]

Dropping Rachele would be a dumb move.. which means he is probably getting dropped.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Crowbots are gonna crowbot, try and shut down anyone with a personality.

Imagine if the Hawks drafted him? He would be flourishing because they're a club that actually embraces exuberance and personality, and look where they are now.

I won't blame him in the slightest if he requests a trade, and I'd wish him all the best if he does.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

And Laird can get in the ****ing bin. Miserable campaigner.

 

[mr.sheen]

Crowbots are gonna crowbot. Anyone with an ounce of personality is shat upon, not just by the coach, but ****ing senior players like Laird.

Imagine if the Hawks drafted him? He would be flourishing because they're a club that actually embraces exuberance and personality, and look where they are now.

Get out while you can Rash.

Agreed. Won’t be long til he requests to be traded and I think we can all
see him flourishing at a team like Hawks or Carlton who will want to utilise and build upon his talent and personality traits rather than diminish them. Run while you still can rash

 

[jamesclean]

I will be very very disillusioned if this plays out the dogs

 

[rabidcrow]

Let’s face it. All of this talk is based on winners and losers.
The media love the Hawks “brashness” and enthusiasm at the moment (most non Hawks fans think their a bunch of flogs)
Kane loves Butters and he acts like a dick every week
And when you are winning it is “competitiveness” etc

When you lose it’s getting ahead of yourself, poor discipline etc

Rachele, Thilthorpes shush to the crowd - when we start winning this will all be viewed well, we just need to get that winning momentum back in our club

Everything about the Adelaide FC is so …………meh

 

[Anzacpaul]

Why do we pretend we're some sort of higher-standard club?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Why do we pretend we're some sort of higher-standard club?

Yep

And even if internally we (wrongly) think that Rachele's comments in part contributed to a loss, we're 15th you fricken morons. No finals for 7 years.

We've been losing for years prior to Rachele's comments.

Which maybe means that....

 

[Executive Landlord]

This decision might be enough for me to tune out until Nick is gone. The way Rachele has been treated all year has been disgraceful. The comments in the media have been awful, constantly pushing Rachele to address the media himself and now senior players criticizing him publicly. This latest move just adds to the list. It's some of the worst player management I've seen, especially for a young player who thrives on confidence. Absolutely disgraceful and just depressing

 

[Brett Cummings]

Why do we pretend we're some sort of higher-standard club?

Just arrogance. Have you heard silvers talk? His head is so far up his own ass.

4th best player for us in the last month per player rating ✓


Really is an indefensible decision if true, could kill all the confidence he has left

 

[Archie87]

Imagine how poor Rach would feel getting told how to football by our "leadership group" containing absolute low skilled plodders like ROB and Murphy...

All of that in a team going poorly all year.
Shudder to think if he was at Hawthorn this year what he'd be doing.

How many times have we heard industry experts, past players etc talking about Adelaide have got this wrong, this isn't how you deal with this or that, this is a culture killer etc..

Scary how out of touch we seem to be in there and doesn't fill you with much hope of how we get out.

 

[Dewy006]

If Rash is dropped this week I’m done with this ****ing club.

It feels like knee jerk reactions, and poor 1's

These are the type of scenario's where someone like Balme would be a godsend

 

[MrBarry]

What a total pisstake, Rachele is one of the only players in the team who gives me any joy and we've dropped him because ****ing Lairdy doesn't like over celebrating. Piss off, Dawson can do one as well tbh.

This is a massive overreaction by people at the club that didn't need reacting to.

 

[Bazz_27]

Only way the club gets out of this not looking absolutely ****ed is if he is struggling mentally after the pile on this week. The wording from the tweet by Mitch Cleary doesn't even suggest anything so it doesn't look like that's the case. Guess we'll get an idea if he doesn't play SANFL but that could also suggest he wants out. Wake me up when we are in spetember again

 

[Executive Landlord]

I genuinely cannot believe this. We have come no where since the camp.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I hope this rumour is BS. How dumb can you be to drop Rachele while maintaining Murphy... Nicks is such a loser.

Beyond dumb if true.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I genuinely cannot believe this. We have come no where since the camp.

We are actually performing worse now!

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

That's the crow way..
