Adelaide Crows 2020

[RB]

I'm not sure if I can see Walker succeeding in the media. Makes Ricciuto sound like a rocket scientist.

[MW]

Don't get me wrong, Tex has been poo for a long time.
My pet hate is he doesn't try and mark the ball in a contest at all. He goes one handed up every time since he did his knee. It's almost a mental barrier for him now so he doesnt get off balance.

If Jono Brown can, anyone can.

He was never a big pack mark contesting player from memory, was he?

[MW]

Not really

Tex makes Brown look like a rocket scientist.

And Alastair Lynch like a Brain Surgeon.

[Spargo]

Not sure about that. Lynch is scarily thick & a bumbling fool.
It’s a worry he’s a player manager.

Mark Ricciuto quote

“At Adelaide if we do everything right this year we’re going to lose $10 million, and we’ve got people stood down throughout the footy department and in any footy club it’s bloody hard times and I thought we don’t need supporters going, ‘Gee, what’s going on if their greatest player is not happy?’

Wow I knew it would be a loss given the circumstances but not $10 mill.

Lookout, the little bean counter is getting a finance stiffy again

I think you should borrow my bean counter. You see it makes it easy to count up to 150.

It could help the Port Magpies who seem stuck and destined to stay at 149

Come find me when you can count past 70, lolz.

Pay that.

Lucky the quarters were shortened

[Booney]

Roo.

[Jim05]

Roo.

Yeah, I don’t think a board member should be disclosing players wages. Long may he reign at the Crows

[MW]

Seems the usual reaction...

People who:

Hate the crows - shocking thing do do
Love the crows - well done Roo, stick it up em
Neutrals - Well actually fair enough by Roo

Case in point last night classified, Caro almost cried she was that angry yet Eddie, Ross and Lloyd all seems to think it was ok to do what he did.

[Booney]

Whilst the industry we all watch gives us a guide as to what players are on ( and we can make assumptions given their performance and age etc ) to disclose actual figures (Lever - and then rate him as a "$500k player" ) or at least allude to numbers ( Keath - 2x what Adelaide paid him ) when it's clear you actually know the number in question is poor form. Plain and simple.

Suggesting they couldn't have kept McGovern seems odd. In August 2017 he signed a 3 year deal ( 18,19,20 ) and at the end of 2018 they traded him to Carlton for McAdam, 26, 28 and future 5th rounder ( Adelaide threw in a third rounder ). Why couldn't they keep a bloke who was 1 year into a 3 year deal? Clearly he wanted out ASAP.

Betts and Jenkins ( Riccuito said about Jenkins "Very happy to let him go" ) couldn't get out fast enough and Adelaide are paying them to play elsewhere, clearly Adelaide felt they had to go too.

Cameron, at the time Adelaide said they were happy to let him go as it was in the players best interest, didn't they? Now they're not happy to let him go?

All in all it keeps Adelaide in a negative news cycle for another 48 hours.

Last week Riccuito shed a tear because Andrew McLeod doesn't feel welcome at West Lakes. Port thump them by 13 goals in a game that basically went for 3 quarters. Riccuito brings up shit from 3 years ago to keep Adelaide in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Cracking week at West Lakes!

Riccutio responding to James Brayshaw is why he brought it up.

Did he think it would help his club?

[Lightning McQueen]

He's not going to come out and say "we f****** up".

It seemed as though he was taking the piss to some degree.

When has that ever stopped him...
Never known a bloke with a lack of reading a room worse than him.
Apparently he's just been on TripleM in Melbourne so no doubt he's f..ked up again

Not often Rowey speaks and I think "Yeah, he's right", usually I don't even understand him, but this morning he called for the club to reign Riccutio in, he called for the club to say "Pick one" ( Media / Football boss ). Given the amount of bad news coming out of the club and some tough times ahead it's not an unreasonable request.

[Spargo]

McGovern & Cameron’s manager, Colin Young, had this to say re Roo’s comments...
“His comments make no sense & surprise me. Why would Mitch stay loyal to the Crows & sign a three year contract extension back in 2017, when he could’ve gone home to Perth on an extremely lucrative contract? Instead Mitch chose to stay with the Crows for half the contract dollars & half the length of the contract time instead of going home to Perth. The reasons Mitch left the Crows was because of the camp & the Adelaide football department - and that’s it”
Re Charlie Cameron - “Again with Charlie, it was not about money. Let’s leave it at that!”
