Will be painful, he's hardly inspiring to listen to.

Really?
Think it will be ok. One of the few Crows players ive liked over the years and thought he was shafted. Will be good to hear his story

Hi story might be worth hearing, but I think he'll be unbearable to listen to.

Yeah I dont think he will be that bad

Agree with this. Andrew McLeod, Darren Jarman and Brett Burton (and potentially Chad Wingard) would be the only other ones in the conversation as to the most exciting players that have played for an SA team. Modra would still have them all easily though. There wouldnt be too many in the history of the game that were more exciting.

Any others that I have missed?

Eddie Betts is as exciting as anyone on his day but still doesnt compare to any mentioned above for consistency.

Might even start a different thread.

Modra was a very, very handy player when on song but consistency is not a character trait you would attribute to him. Easy to think he was screwed over but Blight wouldn't have pushed him out without reason and he had more chances than perhaps even Fev over the years. Still, he seems to be the flavour of the month and he does have an interesting tale to tell. But let's not forget the whole picture.

And yet I remember hearing Blight say moving him on was his biggest regret in football. Hopefully tonight sheds a bit more light on the matter

Yep, Blight has often said it's one of his few regrets in footy.

Thought he was very good tonight. Good episode

i dont wish to go into discussing the next coach, tomorrow a new interim coach is announced, probably one of the assistants

however previously having doubts in john worsfold for the carlton job, in the story line of recent events there is almost a calling for worsfold to take the reigns of these boys in their grievings and it would be a beautiful thing for john to drive the bus considering walsh worked with john for so long at west coast, and the further mentoring worsfold provided this year to walsh

rather than going out getting a rookie coach to bare what will be a huge weight on the next (dew), i think worsfold would have the empathy, experience & understanding to know exactly whats needed, and the players would find comfort from the bond walsh & worsfold had

and maybe worsfold will feel a desire to pick up the pieces here for his mate

# just sharing a projection

he would still need the passion to coach too, otherwise it wouldnt work. but i dont think too many crows fans would have an issue with Worsfold.

I think the interim coach needs to come from one of the assistants, John doesnt know the players or game plan etc. As for the 2016 and beyong season i would love Worsfold to coach us. I personally would like and think an experienced coach is where we need to head next year due to the circumstances. Ideally i would love a Worsfold / McKenna combination.

Agree with your last part.

(I dont think anyone was suggesting that Worsfold coach this year?)

Teague or Camporeale will take the interim role.

top stuff.

While im not a huge campo fan, i couldnt care less who took over for the rest of the year. Best of luck to him, a very tough task he is taking on. The appointment of woosha in the Directors role is fantastic. Hoping he develops a love for the footy club and the players and looks to take over next year.

Quailty individual Woosha. Said he was coming back over to sit in the coaches box later in the season as well to give more feedback to Phil.

Well done to Chapman, Fagan and the Club for how they have handled everything in the last 3-4 days. Crows Administration have copped a lot of flack over the last few years for certain things but the appointment of Fagan gets a bit tick in my book. Those 2 a long with Roo seem to be getting a lot right in the past 12 months!

would agree with that (even before the events of the past week)

Fagan seems to be doing a great job

Fagan is excellant, was gutted when he left the Brumbies as he ran the club like clockwork. Cant praise him enough for the state he left the club in. Great work by Worsfold also, Crows very lucky to get someone of his calibre. I can understand the reasoning behind Camporeale but he is terrible, for the Crows sake I hope he doesnt undo all the hard work

Couldnt even go a week without bringing Dangerfield into it and selling leaving the club even with the passing of Walsh...you are a disgrace Advertiser and further reasons why I will never buy your rag again.

Agreed, very tacky journalism.

I like the appointment of Woosha it should be good for Crows
