Can't ask much more from an administrator than he did to be fair.
Didn't handle the camp fiasco well at all but other than that he was very good.

I’m having a dig mate, to be honest I don’t really know. I do remember him on day 1 saying something along the lines of.... the players need to take pride in the Jersey..... I thought that set the tone.
The seasons just around the corner, so consider this a pre season barb
Just banter MW, all good mate!
all good CM, i've always found it weird that CEO's can get blamed for on field performance. Yes they ultimately are in control of the entire club but it's never as simple as that.Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2021 8:03 amMW wrote:Corona Man wrote:MW wrote:Yeah of course.

Anywho looks like we're both in a world of hurt in 2021 mate

Putting financials aside ( Adelaide's corporate and membership support will always have them financially sound ) the club hasn't been in worse shape culturally or on field in it's history. He's overseen the club's downfall to the point of a complete rebuild on and off field. I'm genuinely surprised you see his tenure as "very good".

He was there through the Walsh stuff, and part of the administration that led them to the GF and a couple AFLW flags.
I think the culture off field has probably always been shit, but well hidden from public view/knowledge. There were also cracks appearing before he came on board, but the camp fiasco definitely escalated everything and it blew up badly from there.

inheriting success is a bullshit statement. If they missed finals in 15/16/17 it would have been his fault I bet.
His biggest flaw was the handling of the camp saga. Hanging offense? Probably and seems like it's finally happened.
Can't argue he's put us in a very good position moving forward both financially and with the AFLW team in and other ventures, including the beginning of the relocation discussion.
He could have pulled Roo in earlier I agree.

Appeared to be uneasy when dealing with media, and has been largely missing since around 2018 when his public appearances almost dried up.
His own focus when he commenced was to deliver the best football program in the AFL. Got close, very close, but with messy exits from Sanderson and Pyke wasn't able to nail it.

What's David Pittman doing these days? From memory he's in the business world somewhere right?
I heard Craig Vozzo was back in Adelaide visiting family last week. Interview maybe?
Anyone worth poaching?

Got smashed in the Prelim in 2010 and our only player from that side who played half decently was Gary Ablett Jnr who was leaving.
Was a fantastic coaching effort to win it that year even when 3 goals down in the 2nd quarter with Pods going off for rest of the game.
Was far from an inherited flag side.
Wasn't Adelaide 10th when Fagan took over?
And 3 years later were the best side in the comp?
PS I'm far from being a Fagan fan, thought he was useless but just saying....
