Crows in the SANFL - Q & A with the AFC

[adelaidefc]

Hey every one i am not wasting any more time with Crow PR man he still has not given us any staight answers.

THE CROWS ARE A SHAM !!!!!!!!


ARK ARK ARK ARK ARK ARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

perhaps you should just ask John Platten for his thoughts

[saintal]

Who set the deadline for the vote of tomorrow night?

What is the Channel 7 arrangement?

Whose idea is it to allow the AFC to wear traditional colours in the SANFL?

[areaman]

The questions didn't get any tougher, they just kept going around in circles.

I wrote about the crowd "guesstimate" very early in the piece. We have backed ourselves to attract between 2000 to 6000 per game. There will be opportunities down the track to review the system if required but I think you underestimate the level of interest there will be in a Crows reserves side. Anyway, proof will be in the pudding. David

The sad part, David, is that if you are wrong the AFC won't be any worse off.

However the loyal fans of a 136 year old competition, which gave birth to the AFC, will have lost one of their main passions on winter's weekends.

The fans deserve better than this.

Hi David

David Koch has been quoted saying that the AFL and Rob Chapman have no issue with the Port proposal which retains the Magpies in their current format. Is that a personal view of Rob Chapman or the AFC view?

Thanks

We don't care what Port do.

[adelaidefc]

I guess after 22 years of saying what they wanted and having the moron SA media lapping up every word they just assumed the regular joe would just do the same

Chip on shoulder?
The decision rests with the SANFL clubs.

[Dutchy]

My son barracks for whoever Port AND The Crows are playing.

SANFL may not be top of the pops for a majority of kids in the age group I work with (11-13 y.o) but I can tell you the Crows and Puffs are totally uncool, man. Actually I'm shocked and surprised how many go for interstate AFL teams - except of course the big percentage who prefer the round ball game, with rugby gaining ground every year

This doesn't match up with the stats the SANFL collects at Auskick clinics or on school visits. Crows and Port dominate the landscape.

Wrong. I coach an Under 10 team, break down of support is -

Crows 6
Port 1
Geelong 4
Collingwood 3
North Melbourne 2
Essendon 4
Carlton 2
Melbourne 1
St Kilda 1

Almost half of them also own a SANFL guernsey that they wear to training. That is not going to last with your selfish proposal.

You seem to be having fun now David? (there's a question you can answer)

To be part of SANFL, you should.

The SANFL.
I don't know the details, the SANFL will work through that.
The SANFL.

David, once and for all, if it is 7-1 Crows walk away.
Or is Stephen Trigg a liar?

Hey david,

tell us about all the research you did to come up with the magic crowd figure?

your club has proven once again to be a joke of a franchise.

Will you still believe the Crows can get 2000-6000k at an SANFL game when its round 16 the AFL Crows are sitting 13th they are playing South Adelaide on a freezing cold day at Noarlunga and its a battle between the 9th and 8th team on the ladder.

[UK Fan]

Given David hasn't graced SA Footy with his presence in 3 days, this little experiment may be over. The questions got a little tougher around that same time, which I am certain is a coincidence.

All I wanted was for him to publicly admit truth.... They did no ******* research regarding crowd numbers

He pretty much wasted people's time on here, much as i like to give most people the benefit of the doubt.

Sorry if I didn't produce the answers you want to hear. The Clubs have enough information to decide if this progresses or not,we will all know in less than 24 hours. David

And if you don't get that unanimous vote tomorrow you'll happily bugger of to Ammos cos your not bluffing.

Isn't that right David ??? (Sniggers to self)

Centrals are our last hope and David has certainly not impressed a couple of the Centrals board members with his arrogance and avoidance of questions on this forum.

We can only hope i guess.

[daysofourlives]

Hmmm the arrogance tonight is astonishing, anyone would think the vote has already been taken and David is very confident of the Crows getting in.
Cmon South and Norwood, support the Dogs and send them to the SAAFL. Call their bluff and lets see them in the SANFL reserves for a trial period first.

Tippet obviously wasnt such a bad bloke after all

So quick to discount Norwood and South based on - NOTHING!!

[whufc]

If one club votes NO is that then the end of this shite.

Will the Crows automatically piss of to the ammos or will the Crows ask from a please explain from the NO voters and then give a counter offer and this process keeps going on until the SANFL clubs says YES.

The SANFL will either offer the Crows a spot in the league comp or not, depending on the votes of the directors. But I think there will need to be unanimous agreement to work with the Crows, for the Club to accept any offer. David

No, I'm not confident. I do know we won't be in the reserves though.

[smac]

That's an adjustment in terminology, isn't it?

[whufc]

David the other night your were 85% confident you will have a Crows reserves in the SANFL league comp

Where does that stand right now.
