Well evidently our culture ****ing sucks.
Who is currently leaving us? All clubs loss players due to money or go home factor or both. Sydney recently loss Dawson, West Coast loss Judd, Port loss Stevens and we loss Dangerfield all in the past. I would have offered Lever not the reported $850-900K from Melbourne but definitely $750K instead of the report $550K so half of MacKay's $400K salary and the other $200K to Cameron....stuff using this spread the salary cap through out the list similar to how Geelong's done their and if the rumour we've thrown $850-900K at JHF then good on us for changing the salary cap we used in the past which doesn't work anymore.
I didn't say players were leaving even though some have left in the past as you pointed out. I was responding to someone that said we shouldn't pick the best talent due to go home factor. If we aren't picking the best talent we may as well give up as you're defeated before you begin if you are worried about them going home. Create the right environment for success and they stay. I can't stand the attitude that every decent player not born here will go home. It doesn't happen at other clubs and it shouldn't happen here. I think we have been seen by some clubs as an easy target to poach some of our players. I would prefer other clubs view us as a club where it's very difficult to get a player out such as sydney. That's generally created by culture.

We've always picked on the best talent first and then needs whether they are in SA or not. If they are of same talent then we logically go with SA which probably happened with Thilthorpe over McDonald.

In reality our drafting has been poor since Rendell left. Absolutely indisputable. And we have done nothing about it

It isn’t terrible analysis - but it is misleading and pointless

Just from that grab he said McAdam was the only Crows player to improve this year compared to last. That there’s been zero improvement across the team. Can’t say I disagree.
Laughable that Roo thinks pushing Essendon to 4 points is something to hang your hat on. They are putrid.

So when Roo said they can't kick or handball, what he meant was before they couldn't pick up a ball so its an improvement.
I also laughed when he said Nicks would also disagree, well I am shocked.
Once again we see that Roo is a BIG part of the problem. The sooner he is gone the better.

toe (may have been a mistype: w is next to e)
Yep Ol mate Roo is now hitting Port Power levels of delusion with those comments. I love the part where he says if you asked Matthew Knicks how we are travelling this year he would say we are miles ahead of last year. Farken lol!! Of course he is going to say that you stupid campaigner, he wants to remain employed.

Hately, Berry, Jones, Rowe (subject to change but his best games this year were much better than his best last year), at SANFL Level Parnell has come into his own this year. Seems unfair to disregard their improvement and say only Mcadam has improved.

How many weeks ago did he say we cant kick or handball?
He's a friggin clueless moron
He should have stuck to playing football because he as sure as shit knows nothing about running a football club. Bloody idiot.
Of course he isn't going to agree with it because he is the major part of the problem. Blight is effectively calling him out along with Ogilvie, Reid, Kelly, Nicks. How can Roo seriously say we are better? We are irrelevant. No one in the league cares about us or even mentions us anymore.
Why are we so afraid of publishing and being accountable for our plans?

This is so pointed they could have been talking directly about us:
"There’s always a risk when publicising our aims and aspirations but I also think that’s the beauty of it.
"We’d much prefer to set ourselves ambitious goals and do everything we possibly can to achieve them and put ourselves on the hook to do so, rather than quietly keep your head down and not attract too much attention."
