News Our new Football Ops Manager - welcome Adam Kelly!

[jenny61_99]

Wanted to say I met Adam at the AFLW match on Saturday and we had a brief chat. Seems like a nice bloke. He was runner for our team. Asked him how he'd go running out the match... reckons he probably shouldn't have gone for the 10k run in the morning!

So you're saying he soft?

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Steady on. Sturt has a total of 15 premierships, eleven Magarey Medallists and two Night Premierships.

J Halbert should have had a couple more!

 

[Deaneus!]

Dear Mr Kelly, did you push Rodney Jameson down a flight of stairs?

If not, could you do this as soon as possible?

thanks

Has anyone heard Adam Kelly this trade period? Unusual not to hear from your Footy Ops Manager during this time, has he been muted after last years debacle?

I don't think we've had anyone do much talking this trade period. He was off with some of the players on their trip to visit indigenous communities too.

Just start to worry if CEO Tim Silvers gets involved though I think he's a bit more experienced and aware than the last joker.

Probably doing his Harvard course so he can take the reigns next year.

I hope he has been gagged.

Better to let one person and in our case Justin Reid do the media.

I still feel a bit sorry for Kelly over the whole Balme offer. No matter how you dress it up it sent a message he wasn't exceeding in his role.

I like it. Just getting on with business, keep the stupid posturing in the media to a minimum.

too soon. It’s still raw

 

[Peter Doherty]

I've heard Kelly was on 5AA today and it was a train wreck, anyone hear it?

No thanks.

Certainly was, had it on driving home from work. Rowey asked about Dowling being played in the centre square tonight and he completely dodged around it. Kelly alluded to the fact that Dowling played half forward in the SANFL last year (not this year) and that’s why you’ll see him playing there tonight.

Forget Nicks, this guy is the number one sacking target. He's as useless as the clown he replaced.

Yikes. Honestly, get rid off EVERYONE.

They both need to go with half of the board, including Roo.

We need a refresh.

 

[AFC3000]

That interview was Burton level bad. Could feel the frustration in Rowey's voice.

Basically said that Dowling's strength was his versatility and therefore he'd be showing it at half foward.

The clubs reluctance to prioritise actual midfield development.

Then questioned the point of bringing in players who are uncontracted, which was a follow up from his comments a couple of nights ago about how they wasted Jimmy's time and development time playing his son all year when they knew he wasn't being recontracted.

Yep. Board to vote out Roo first. Then once you get a new footy director you sack footy manager and hire new one. New Footy manager together with new footy director then hire new coaching panel.

Hard to defend the indefensible

Burton was way better than this guy.

 

[madstar]

Hard to argue with Rowey about that. He knows where the bodies are buried and he is tenacious. Not that I heard it but good on him.

They're all in self preservation mode. There's no all in as one approach at the AFC.
Play the seniors at all costs because this week is all that matters.
