Why can't Adelaide retain players?

'reportedly'



Lever has been playing the media from the moment he decided he wanted out

How long did he have that interview with BT organised?

Have you ever seen a player (a third year at that) tell the world in that way that he is leaving his club?

It was pretty cringe to be honest.

 

[radiojake]

Ah so it's only fact if Adelaide say it.

Full nuffie by crows fans this week

I haven't heard either party say anything about it

It was pretty cringe to be honest.

It was flipping disgraceful

Weren't you just blaming lever in your crap rhetorical questions?

Don't get me wrong, Lever has not handled this well at all and that speaks a lot about him as a person.
But the club hasn't covered itself in glory either.

Crows may have advised him so due to animosity from members and such at the night too

Maybe Tex called up the club screaming at them over the phone that if they invited Lever to the B&F, he isn't inviting anyone to his birthday party.

I blamed him for what?

Make some sense, boy

All of those 'news articles' are based from an unsubstantiated tweet

yes that is exactly what Tex did

I’m just glad they’ve found Tex. Haven’t seen him since around 2.30pm last Saturday, so I was getting worried.

So that's just a random non-sequitur that doesn't relate to the post you were replying to?

yep

give me some proof and i'll say I was wrong


media have been taking pot shots at the Crows for longer than the Lever issue..

Look at Damian Barrett calling Adelaide hypocrites earlier in the year when Don Pyke said it was out of line for Chris Fagan to be talking about Charlie Cameron during the season because of Gibbs...

When did Adelaide make any comment about Gibbs during the 2016 playing season?

Trade period is for trade discussions

I gave you the proof everyone is discussing, then asked what exactly your burden of proof is since you claim it's all lies

You're still yet to answer what you posting random questions about lever had to do with the post you quoted? Was it a non-sequitur?

 

[radiojake]

You gave me 'news articles' where no one is quoted

You may as well have sent me a link to the bigfooty Rumour page

How is that proof?

Lever has been playing the media for a long time


I wouldn't be surprised if he has played this one out too, but I don't have that proof so am not claiming as such

So you're dodging both questions again...

Is this just an Adelaide fan thing or?

So you posted it, because you think he is, but you're not claiming it...

Serious question, how many times have you featured on nuffies of afl?

I don't know what that is

Back on topic:

A lot of players Adelaide have lost are due to individual circumstances (money, home) and not something you can blame the Crows for. I think they could've kept one or two by paying slightly overs but that's not their style and good luck to them for sticking to their guns.

 

[HaroLad]

HaroLad nice multi

Someone started a fake account in my honour.

I think I need a verification tick.

 

[DemonTim]

I don't know what that is

Not surprised

 

[radiojake]

Not surprised

thanks for sharing the information

Very classy by Adel to chuck a tantrum and not invite Lever to the B’n F

Shows a lot of what’s wrong with the club, very unprofessional which isn’t a surprise considering it’s history.

 

[Righteo]

Honestly FUIC is so insanely overrated it isn't funny and for the first 20 years of my life I thought I just didn't like Iced Coffee. Then I had Dare and my opinion changed. We wouldn't ride FUIC's dick so hard if it was made in WA, lol.

I tried it recently after seeing it hyped for years on here by South Aussies and it did not meet my high expectations. Perhaps they were too high. Impossibly high even.

Dare is better and Brownes is about as good.

I have wasted my time reading through some pretty shit threads on this site over the years and I reckon this is close to the worst.
