And the fans throwing piss, using homophobic slurs.

Then again what do you expect when their players assault cops, sleep with each other partners and take PEDs

#portculture

Forgot about the Gimp and the smashed car followed by the stealing of a bike followed by the club advising him not to go to the cops until he slept off the grog. Lots of club integrity right there.

Then there’s ol Paddy putting a cop in a headlock....

Then there’s Chad Cornes sooking after the GF loss (apparently that’s ok but if Crows fans complain about the umpiring then it’s not ok)

Then there’s Rucci and Kane....spin doctors KT and Kochie.....half filled sell out stadiums.....

Could write a book on this there’s so much to cover

You should get down to your club and discuss it with your fellow members.

And by club I mean facebook, because that's where real clubs exist.

Lol. Imagine if we had some ‘grass roots’ clubrooms....we would’ve beaten Port by 183 points instead of 83 Points in the last Showdown!
 
Haven’t you read the many replies to this question throughout the thread? Why can’t Port beat the Crows?

The whole thread has been about deflection and excuses. No introspection or truthfulness. Just spin, abuse, vitriol, avoidance and strawman.

The reason the Crows have beaten Port 5 times in a row? The Crows have been better. The Crows kicked more goals than Port. See that's what truth looks like. It's easy when you try.

This thread has been about trolling the Crows and not surprisingly you are front and centre. Your posts all have the same tone and whenever there’s a chance to take a crack at the Crows you jump right in. Why would a Crows fan even bother to take any of your troll posts seriously and waste their time when they know you’ll just troll back anyway? Question has been asked and answered over and over but you continue to troll anyway. You’re a joke of a poster.

You keep saying this.
The topic has been answered.


Bolded really sums up the last 50 pages of the thread.

Is premiership success the only measure of success?

Following your logic, Nathan Buckley (rated one of the best 50 players of all time and winning a Norm Smith) achieved nothing - no success at all.
Individually he has had success but achieved absolutely no team success (other than with the port magpies).. correct... it’s hard to believe you have troubles figuring this out

Well, it's pretty easy to figure out that we have different views of success. I think you could say that the Crows have not had the ultimate success in the last 20 years, but to pass off the last 20 years as essentially a waste of time (i.e. the club has done nothing in the past 20 years), money and talent in my view is preposterous.

I also wonder if you translate such values into your own life - in which case you have my sympathy because with such an ultimate standard and one minded definition of success, I doubt, if you are consistent, would have ever achieved any success yourself. Perhaps a call to beyond blue? There is nothing to be ashamed off and I hope you are ok.

p.s Port Magpies have nearly done nothing for 20 years as well.

No mate Facebook is just one Forum Crows members can use to communicate with other members,
Twitter good for Player to Player, Also the Crows Internal Forum for members only is very good for Members and Players communication
Personally I use the email for query's and direction question or I phone them, A few times I visit the club and have a Coffee with them.
And I use Twitter to talk to the players.
Bricks and Mortar are Old schools more so when you want your club and Players to be assessable to all their supporters no matter where you live. And I find it laughable that you do not see that in today's age.
More so when your Brick and mortar clubrooms have been redesigned to attract gamblers, yes you clubroom are there for the Pokie income.
And yet you call yourself a community club while taking the money from gamblers.

Just curious how many times a week do you visit your Clubrooms to talk to players or other members.
I talk to players once a week and other members regularly thru the week I am in communication with my club weekly what about you.

Again and something you may understand one day, People make the Club, not bricks and Mortar. Old school Port supporters would understand that, this new breed the have adopted the Port way have no understanding. what group are you in.

Sorry mate, I left primary school years ago so I don't understand what you are talking about,
Can you translate into football talk or at least lead into a football Discussion?
But I have spoken to Rory recently if that what you asked about.

You're talking nonsense. Even Fages disagrees with you.

“But we still think it is important for our members that they have a place to mingle and gather before and after a game so that they feel they are part of the inner workings of the Adelaide Football Club. That remains a focus for us.”

So how do you explain our 45k average fans to games while Port attendees are far lower????? You claim Port are a ‘real’ club and yet your fans don’t show up and ours do!!!! You just make crap up.

What did he say? buzz off?

Can you not work out the Difference between a meeting Place before and After the game than permanent bricks and mortar Clubrooms,
Fages was talking about a Shed type operation at the Adelaide Oval precinct. Not clubrooms. he was talking about a replacement for the Shed.

Common I am sure you can do better than that
