The leader of the bunch.
Jamo is the one who had a crack at the players during covid, and also labelled McLeod a "temperamental soul".

Jamo has no argument. McLeod should say to him in Stevie J style, call me Norm.

Let’s be honest. Jamo and all of the other life members will NEVER be critical of the club, for fear of losing the benefits this recognition brings.
Have a look at the Life Member list and it all makes sense.
Nothing will change until/if we ever become a member run club.
These muppets in charge have nothing to worry about, their positions aren't voted upon.
No one can put an alternative ticket together to oust these imbeciles.
No one can remove them from their ivory tower as they smoke their cigars and drink their cognac.

Ahhh, good ol Rod Jameson. Yet another in-houser who used the club to push a side gig. Remember "Crows Home Loans"?
The club is primarily a financial/social tool for these guys. Football is peripheral. Not being accountable to members will do that.

Well that should all change from 2028 but I’m sure if these individuals are still there they will attempt to thwart it.
From memory, my ladder predictor has us 14th with about 2.5 wins either side of us. Pretty difficult to get to 13th I reckon.
I can't see us getting to 13th. My ladder predictor had us finishing 14th or 15th.
Just looked and mine has saints 15th, 3.5 wins behind us and we're 2.5 wins behind hawks. Freo miss out on 13.5 wins by % to Lions. Nix thinking season remains alive is absurd.
The Saints was the one team that my predictor had finish ahead of us at 14th, but it was tight though. A win either way and the teams swapped. The other teams below us seem pretty set, and the teams above the Saints out of reach.
I go back to our constitution in regards to the ownership change in 2028.
It needs to be people who actually want success, the AFL doesn't care if we are successful.
Nothing changes until the board are accountable to the fans.
Well Rod stop making stupid decisions and appointments and you’ll hear little

Is that Jameson prxxk still mouthing off. He was a totally useless board member until we got rid of him. Hes the last person to say anything. Just another moron who got looked after by the crows hierachy. Nothing ever changes. Sack Nicks first and then add to the list.

Last year we were heading in the right direction until a bad call on Keays ruined all that. But we also dropped many close finishes so in reality we had our chances but there is no room for error in games. We put ourselves in these situations too.
This year the expectation was high and some of the players froze, lost their confidence. But there have been a few other factors such as injuries and some poor selection. 2024 was never going to be easy year and I knew that after 2023.
I am not expecting us to be Richmond 2017 next year, don't compare us to them.
North would have easily beaten us today if Collingwood was replaced by us. We are very bad right now.

So for the rest of the game he’s not instructing the players to take the game on but instead play safe and keep the margin close? The same week he said we lost our ability to take the game on?
I honestly don’t think I’ve heard a coach contradict himself more than this clown, the worst coach we’ve had by a big margin.
Roo and Goodwin together running the AFC ? ? ?

If I am to understand Nicks, he has established a too tier game plan, one that switches through a signal from the bench. One is slow possession, team defence counter attack football, the other is all out attack. He clearly has tried to defend games to death this season and implement an all out attack in the final quarter. Both times the Swans came back I think we'd switched to safe mode. The problem with all out attack is it consumes petrol tickets. Can't just flick a switch between the two whenever you feel like it. Especially if you have already flicked this switch multiple times in the match. The players in the last quarter were clearly out of gas.
I just don't see this type of game plan holding in finals. Its more like a party trick, designed to catch sides napping when we flick the switch. But the pattern of our games this season seem to indicate this is our style.
2023
- 95 points per game average score for
- 81 pointes per game average score against
2024
- 81 points per game average score for
- 79 pointes per game average score against
So the clown has incorporated this strategy only to take away our ability to score while having no impact against opposition teams ability to score against us. FFS

A couple of weeks ago Will Goodings described Nicks' tenure as feeling like the Robert Shaw years on steroids.

Yeah, its been the perfect storm really. All these clowns came in at the same time after a review and they got stuck on this narrative and now I think they are lost. I hate to say it, but I just dont think Nicks would have lasted as long with any other of our administrations. He has been allowed to get away with a lot.

Does he really?
Lets face it, he probably deserves another two years if we win the next nine in a row

I was thinking about this the other day...
Amazing to think back then we actually managed to get the likes of Blight and Ayres to the club...
Now we will be lucky to get an untried assistant the rate we are going.
No thanks. That would be like Dr. Evil and Smithers.
Tell em, they're dreamin.
