The Crow fans don't seem to have that view of Josh Money ;)

Ticket holders trying to make the AFL grand final in Melbourne on Saturday are being warned by unions their flights might be affected by strike action by Qantas engineers, which began on Thursday.
As revealed in The Australian on Wednesday, as many as 1100 staff involved in maintenance are participating in the protected industrial action, which kicked off in Melbourne and will now expand to other states.
The strikes come as airlines gear up for one of the busiest weekends on record due to the football grand final being held in Melbourne, even thought the finalists are from Brisbane and Sydney.
National Secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, Steve Murphy, said today’s action, scheduled to finish at 6pm, is a “shot across the bow to the Qantas”, and strike action may affect AFL goers.
“It may well impact flights in and out of all capital cities … it’s likely this will escalate over the course of this week,” he said.
Qantas denied the strikes will impact people flying to Melbourne for the AFL, adding that issues today were instead due to the Airservices’ ground delay program in Sydney due to the miserable weather.
“We have contingencies in place for the industrial action planned on Friday and the weekend and, like today, don’t currently expect this industrial action to have an impact on customers,” a spokesperson said.
It’s been more than a decade since there was a strike by Qantas engineers, who are a key part of the airline’s exceptional safety record.
