It only took Crows 8 years to win 2 premierships, and Power 8 years to win 1, while they both had their 'reserves players' spread amongst the SANFL clubs. In the 9 seasons since they have have their own separate reserves teams in the SANFL, Crows have only had 1 AFL GF appearance and Power have had no AFL GF appearances.
Good stat. Even more reason to jettison them out to the VFL.
They knew for a long time that he was no good so they waited until 4 days before Christmas to appoint a new coach.
An interesting and novel approach. Probably a very costly method as well.
A lot of key people in SANFL clubland hold the view that the run of 19 wins on the trot was not achieved despite Brett Hand but because of him.
Who in SANFL clubland would tell their opponent what their perceived weakness was?
The run of 17 wins in 2021 is considered by most GFC supporters I know as misleading on face value. Several games we were probably lucky to win and even escape with. An almost charmed season that had every chance of being a Premiership season if the 2nd Semi went for 2 seconds longer.
Looking forward to seeing what the new coach brings, and hopefully a season where the best forward over the last few seasons is left up forward and not played in the Ruck.
Sounds like premiership in 2023, or get the **** outta here…. Good luck Reeves!
Watching with much interest.
