Having said that I do really enjoy working at AO for Crows games, they are really nice people to serve. West Coast and Melbourne fans were great too.

Do not paint us all with the same brush. This kind of stuff by other crows fans makes me filthy, I hate sooky people. Cop the good with the bad and if you don't like it go home and live in your own little world where no one upsets you.

This is what happens when you insert a heartless corporation into the AFL instead of the a real football club like Norwood or Sturt. The Crows are a hideous Frankenstein, hastily bolted together to stick it up Port. They ran out to a tv commercial with a bunch of Glenelg rejects and Cornsey as coach and they were the 'team for all South Australians'. Give me a break. The Crows are just a tarted up Brisbane Bears.

Tom Chadwick tweeted he's hearing Pyke to make big selection call at the table tonight, Jenkins in the gun.

5 years after this at $600k per year.

Is he being dropped for 5 years?
Confidence is shot or he's still carrying something. Might do him good to go back and try and out muscle some SANFL players for a week or two.

I think its pretty clear JJ is focused on a much bigger and more important contest coming up.

The ONLY possible explanation is this membership package is designed to cater for those who do not like the 'interaction' with opposition supporters. It would be their expectation that their football experience in this room is amongst Crows supporters only who are like minded.
$6800 a year is a hefty price to pay. Only 30 members I believe (not sure how many attendees this gives you). Say even if there were 100 people in this room, it's 100 vs 45-50,000 in the outer (not taking into consideration corporate boxes).
To paint the whole supporter base the same way is naïve.


Who said you couldn't defend Fagan's letter? ;)

Anyhow back to the football, Jenkins and McKay out. Menzel with a quad apparently.

Greenwood and Galluci to debut with Lever back as well. Few changes but regardless would expect the crows to get back to the winners list this week.
