Opinion New AFC HQ (Part 2): The wheels are in motion

View attachment 2163751


I'm glad we've chosen to glean ideals from two of the most notoriously unserious franchises in American Sports over the last 30 odd years.

This is true, though Cowboy Stadium and their training facilities are unreal.

This is true, though Cowboy Stadium and their training facilities are unreal.

Yesterday the Cowboys failed to see a touchdown pass because the stadium is built with windows facing endzone to endzone that catch the sun.

Their players similarly say that the way that they run their facility, the lack of seperation between 'corporate' desires and tours and on field operations, distracts them from on field success.

They've not even made the NFC Championship game since before any of their players were born.

This feels very much like something the Crows would emulate, and very much like something they should not.

Yeh but the Cowboys suck.

Oh, that makes a perfect fit then for us.

He failed to catch it because he's rubbish.

Currently..... yes it's rather appropriate.

2023 First Team All Pro CeeDee Lamb is rubbish. Got it.

2023 First Team All Pro CeeDee Lamb is rubbish. Got it.

3-6 this year and don't look like winning anything.

So yep, rubbish

 

[Southerntakeover]

The team's record makes CeeDee a bum.

I'm an Eagles fan, and even I think you're embarrassing yourself.

Maybe they can ask Jerry Jones nicely to put a couple of curtains up ??

Which they actually do from time to time.

It's still an incredible facility, as is the Ford Center.

They did:

Jerry Jones shoots down CeeDee Lamb's request for curtains at AT&T Stadium

Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb didn't make a catch on a pass from Cooper Rush that should have been a 3-yard touchdown right at the two-minute warning in the second quarter.

Tells you all you need to know about Jones doesn't it.

Thank god we're looking to emulate that exceptionally well run organisation

 

[MarcusP2]

It's very weird to take those two organisations. Are the Cowboys training facilities even that new? The Chargers should be.

But KC's I believe are quite bad and they're dominating.

 

[Slime Roy]

It'll be a pretty impressive facility.

This won't just be a "facility" Son,
This will be a
HIGH. PERFORMANCE. CENTRE.

 

[GameofSloanes]

The realignment of the oval is unnecessary imo. It was deliberately set that way, so the winter sun would set on centre wing during winter. How much is the realignment costing?

It's very necessary so our players can train on an oval the same alignment and sun angles as adelaide oval

 

[Dc9798]

It's very necessary so our players can train on an oval the same alignment and sun angles as adelaide oval

And, given the way the final design is, the realignment gives the opportunity for a larger size second oval once the Torrens to Darlington project is complete.

 

[chazwazza]

Maybe, we would have to change our agreement with the SANFL in which we play all games bar vs Port as the away side.
Believe the only other times we've been the 'home' team is if we've purchased a game from a SANFL side?

Sort of correct but they’ve never really been the home side, they’ve hosted games at Thebby, AO and possibly country but have always been the away team iirc. Playing against Port being the exception.

But the Cowboys current list is their "best ever" list or at the very least "one of their best ever" lists.

Doesn't matter that they've finished bottom 4 again, their list is stacked.

Sounds like another club we know.
