Well, I'd keep my shirt on and make it a better fight than this anyway.

Any other captain dealt with their coach being murdered?

Thankfully not.
He did a good job in that time and he deserves credit for it.

Not the first and won't be the last captain to not perform on the big stage.
Has done some things wrong over the past 12 months but the trial by media has been astonishing and disgraceful.
The media would rather hang a bloke for having a few bad games or a beer rather than focusing on reporting anything remotely positive.

Welcome to Adelaide.

Don't get me wrong I'm thoroughly enjoying the negativity currently hanging over the swamp but I too am beginning to grow tired of the whole saga. Having said that I think the AFC didn't help their cause months ago when they weren't particularly transparent, they could have been more open and given the rumor mongers less to deal with instead of creating innuendo.

With no Fox I typically watch Talking Footy on Monday and record Classified and watch it on Tuesday morning before work, I gave up on both of them this week. I tweeted this morning that -- AFL media "The pressure is rising on *insert name here* over the last few days". Of course it is, you blokes won't shut up about it!

Really starting to feel for Alan Richardson in this case, the media is going to get this bloke sacked. His teams performances aren't up to scratch, list management has plenty of questions to answer, but the media want his scalp for some reason.
