Agreed. w***ers like that should be kicked out. I want Burton out, how about you and SOS?

If SOS did do what you're insinuating, I'd be pretty disappointed yeah.
The club may have. I'm saying "we" - the bigfooty posters don't know.
What are the odds that he wouldn’t know?

Come on. 2017 Gibbs had a great year for us. 2018 was top 5 in b & f for you. Complete speculation as to whether there was/is a gambling problem. But SOS is a bad person because of it?
And we are discussing SOS’s actions at the time. Obviously you guys wouldn’t have known then but you have a fair idea now, what’s your thoughts? Because we still get many posts harping on about how SOS cleaned up Reid.
So you don’t think there is a gambling problem or it just started this year?
We are still guessing. Perhaps more information now to make an educated guess, but still guessing.
In any case, we can now clearly say it was a good business decision.
The humanitarian aspect has many variables which we are just guessing on:
-How bad was the gambling problem? How much would it improve (if any) if he was sent to Adelaide?
-How bad were the other issues? How much would it improve (if any) if he was sent to Adelaide?
Anyway, the point is Master Justin had the opportunity the year earlier to be "humanitarian" and get Gibbs over by trading the 2 first rounders then too. He chose not to as it would be irresponsible.
It was and it was the following year. Perhaps his humanitarian side won out whilst SOS continued to be an arseh*le.

I have absolutely no knowledge of a gambling problem (And nor would I)
However As a pretty ardent follower of big footy and the blues I can confirm that I have read and heard some of the most ridiculously and patently untrue gossip about nearly every footballer over the years.
I can confirm that I did not hear one iota of any gossip regarding Bryce stating that he had a gambling problem prior to him leaving the blues.

It's an interesting take. So it appears that SOS has gone from being incompetent (start of year) to being a tough heartless hombre who has used the poor unsuspecting crows as a dumping ground.
Very good 1st half, polled 7 Brownlow votes (3-2-2) in 3 out of the 1st 9 games and then has gone down-hill from there.....luckily we only really gave you pick 10 in a weak draft (as we got an equivalent 1st rounder back from you in a very strong draft)

Just in case anyone had any doubt, I hope you now see why the death riding thread was crows only.
Lol fair enough, but again we are just guessing. At the end of the day, humanitarian-wise we are just guessing.
From a business POV, I am glad you and many other Crows fans have admitted the trade was 2 first rounders and irresponsible. Funny to watch the remaining denialists deny it still.
Come on mate, you'd want our guys to do the same.
We're the dumb dickheads who traded for a bloke with massive personal issues.
We aren't a charity.
I know we are, but I think given the circumstances we’d be more accommodating, if it was Noble we would have given them picks

Be interesting to see how fat McLovin comes back after an offseason with 800k to spend.
At $1 per hamburger promotion atm. Based on $800,000.00 if you divide it by $1.00 per hamburger and given his pay packet, over the course of the summer he could buy ALOT of burgers lol. Probably over 9000.

I didnt. There is a fallacy on big footy that a good player in a weak midfield will take his game to another level when he goes to a team with a good midfield. Supposedly having the extra talent around him will take the opposition attention away from him and allow him to get more of it. What actually happens is that he can no longer shine and he has more competition from team mates to get the ball and look good.
Gibbs was a good B grader in a weak side. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

Laugh out loud, **** my dick hehehe, giggle giggle.
What was your problem with my post?
The poster says Adelaide has a potent midfield.. despite Crouch's being good players (sitting about the 20 - 30th best midfielders in the competition) I don't think they are potent - in fact the opposite - impotent - they are not attacking, damaging midfielders.
I would call Smith, Milera and Sloane potent players from Adelaides lineup.
Crouch's - no.. what is the hurt factor on each of Matt's possessions - at 9 metres gained per possession and 5 turnovers per match I'd say not very much.
Comparing it to
Sloane 14m gained / possession
Milera 14.7m gained / posession
Smith 22.5m gained / possession
and some actual potent midfielders
Bont 19m gained / possession
Martin 17m gained / possession
Yeo 16 m gained / possession
Kelly 15m gained / possession
