The Cornish invented the prison bars?

John Reid concocted it. The rest had to deal with the fallout.

Nope.... that's just what you repeated on here at nausiuem for many years despite the evidence coming out that they were all in on it, the board included, because you thought you had a friendship with trigg who you were protecting (your words)

Personally I think once the evidence came out you should have been moderated more heavily for repeating falsehoods obsessively as it devalues the board to have something that is factually wrong being repeated over n over and causes a reaction eg from sanders or elitecrow leading them be banned instead

Oh and merry Christmas

My memory is fine

Curnow was a slightly built indigenous kid taken late in the draft who would always take a bit of time

We instantly cut him despite him having the ability to play 200+ AFL games

I vaguely recall he also had a bad leg
(?quad) injury early on and didn’t play many games before the season ended, and was then delisted.

 

[relapse]

It’s time for our “ next premiership coach” to deliver in spades

Can happen but it was an unusual delisting in the sense they cut him a year short, rendell was making the point that him and mckernan had the ability but just needed some support rather than the neil craig treatment who by this stage was doing red flags all over the place. Rendell was of course reprimanded by trigg for speaking out of turn

Good to see a coach take their share of the blame for the teams poor performance.

Ironic given it appears the 36ers coach appears to have lost many of his players... & they have already sacked Ninnis this year who had a better win loss record than Nicks.

How has this guy lasted so long?
Also your recruiting department, has it been overhauled any time lately?

The clubs completely incompetent. We knocked back Macrae and Kingsley for the useless twit. Ogilvie should have been moved on years ago along with Riccuito. Ogilvie is like a public servant, has a job for life regardless of his performance.

Bit rich on the recruitment....

I don't mind Riccuito, he bleeds for you guys and at the end of the day a decision had to be made.

But the moment I saw Nicks blasting players at half time and moving water bottles around, I was convinced he wasn't the right guy.

Ricciuto and Nicks both need to go.

Does he have too much say in what goes on?

 

[Pugsley]

Way too much for someone who puts his energy into media commitments.

Did Macrae or Kingsley even apply last time ?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Did Macrae or Kingsley even apply last time ?

I think they all did including Yze. Nicks won out for culture rebuild. Thats the story and im sticking with it.

Eddie McGuire did that pretty well, Jimmy Bartel, Jason Dunstall......

There's plenty of people who've done both sides very well. That's not Roo's problem at all.

Arrogance is his main problem.

100%

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Arrogance is his main problem.

Also, he is nowhere near as smart as the likes of Dunstall.

Anyone who thought it was a good idea to extend Nicks before necessary is a poor decision maker.

Your memory can't be too good, Ed Curnow was flat out getting a game for Glenelg's seniors at the time let alone playing AFL for the Crows

Mate, that's Glenelg, be a few on our current list that would struggle to get a game in the Bays seniors
