I’m backing Rowie before Prune FaceThanks for posting those comments which are proof positive that Cornes, for all his experience, is an idiot.
However, I just can't agree with your remarks below:
Nothing Cornes said above is worth considering plus I doubt he has any clout within the Club.
Also, nothing will change? Ever?
That's a nihilist's extreme position.
I'm as low and disillusioned as I've ever been about the Crows but I've got to believe that changes and improvements will be made.
For starters:
--- Roo's gotta go; he has way too much influence within the hierarchy which translates negatively to the Coach and playing group.
--- Kelly is useless; sack him.
--- get rid of VB, Burns, also Godden, Wright and Bello all of whom have "Development" in their titles at which they've failed miserably. Rahilly was a huge loss.
As for Nicks, nice bloke, dud senior Coach; the playing group is going nowhere under him. Many have regressed.
Many promising Juniors have yet to be given an AFL game. Others are played out of position (too many to list!) or have their spirit and creativity crushed (Curtin, Pedlar, Rachele). Meanwhile he continues to favour ineffective scrappers like Murphy and McHenry and turn-to-water-under-pressure feebles like Sholl, all the while keeping the faith with cooked underperformers like Smith and Laird.
Nicks --- nix tricks, game day bricks, ticks no boxes, confusing selection picks, I see no fix.
