I was a bit disappointed that Kochie didn't allow himself a little evil smile when saying we were flattered by the cows wanting Walsh.

 

[xflamedancer]

I feel uneasy because I suddenly have a small amount of respect for the Adelaide Football Club. I hope it passes quickly.

That's probably gas, one good shart should fix it.

 

[JHF1870]

I think I'm going to throw up. Another dickhead requests to go to the most inform club, and not even a free agent. **** off.

 

[Cam1870]

So I finally saw the footage of Kochie apparently blowing the Crows caoching appointment to the media. Thats the biggest storm in a tea cup ive ever seen. He didnt even say they had appointed him coach. I swear the morons on the other board get more and more pathetic as the years go on. The way some of them are carrying on you'd think he showed a copy of the contract.

If you try hard enough you can be outraged about anything.

Apparently KT releasing a statement to our members after Walsh's signing was announced was a sign of arrogance.

Who else has requested a trade to us?

So the bovines are pissed about what Kochy said.

GOOD!

They're a pair of dropkicks (and that's putting it nicely).

They would kill to have a CEO of KT's calibre. He was one of the first people they approached when Triggy left. Needless to say KT kindly declined the offer

Nothing to see here: the Scum faithful are being way too sensitive!!!!

I think it's quite cute that all these Camries are now coming out saying what an inspired choice Walsh was, that he is a genius, master tactician, displays values of fortitude/passion/integrity(derp)/honesty/toughness, etc etc etc even though most wouldn't know jack about him or recognise him walking down the street.

Contrast to when we appointed Ken (they got Ken Hinckley!!!) and it was "who?", last man standing, what a joke!, bottom of the barrel, etc

Think Walsh will improve aspects of the Cows, but unsure if he has the big picture organisational capacity or can motivate and get 22 different personalities to embrace and play for each other in a coherent manner on any given day. Time will tell however.

By his own admission Walsh has been a difficult person to approach, and didn't always have time for the players on the bottom of the list they way he did for the guys at the top end. Now he's going to have to deal with everyone in the club in equal measure. It will be interesting. At 54 you're generally pretty set in your ways too.

You are right - they media certainly give a protective seal to any crows coach. And nobody shall be negative to any new crows coach. The fact they are as excited about Walsh as they were about the devil Sandough, shows that they are simply mindless numpties that will fall for any spin. Yes crows fans - you didn't celebrate your premierships as hard as you partied when sendough (now the devil) was announced.

Tredders questioned sendoughs appointment - he was ridiculed for days, Captain Cornes even stepped in with an article to discredit Tredrea.

Well Tredrea was right you dumb ****ing sheep.

When Hinkley was presented it was to a series of jeers from the sa media. Port fans had to make up their own mind and slowly we did as we learned from what we saw and how Ken presented.

Walsh is no sandough and will be a good coach - but the way their supporters simply go from 'who' to '**** yes, best coach ever' is a bit funny.

 

[Eddie Woloschek]

I didn't understand this, but after reading the 'Tiser online this morning, I get it. This brilliant new-look, clinical, ruthless Crow machine has thought outside the square and pulled a rabbit out of the hat. No more the choice of a sentimental favourite. Their new coach is not the last man standing, nor is he a man, or a saint, but a deity, a saviour, a god. Given that this god has seventeen avowed enemies, he can smite them all in one season and West Lakes will once again be Happyland. Or perhaps the 'Tiser is as unbalanced as Starling supporters are unhinged.

Interesting that Port & Hawthorn so far are the only top 5 clubs bringing in quality & not losing key personnel in the process.

Sydney losing Malceski & Membrey for nothing, North losing Greenwood & the Cats losing a gun in Christensen, it could be a Port vs Hawks grand final next year if we can improve further from this season.

Would be a massive trade period for Brisbane if they could land both he and Beams.

That would put them around the mark for the top 8 imo.

How bad are the Crows club ties? Seriously, it's like they are taking the piss wearing those.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Cooney offered for trade - any interest here?

[Enviable Tradition]

Phil Walsh is going to make or break Dangerfield. He is about to get some serious home truths about the limitations of his game, his ego and his selfishness.

It is going to be fascinating to see whether his ego can handle it. He could be scary good if he can.

Go well with white shoes. Walsh aged 20 years in his press conference. It's like reverse Cocoon.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Not sure how Brisbane could land both beams and Christiansen no joke both sides (yes even Geelong who are reasonable traders) would probably want pick 5 involved.
