Apparently Tex is going in for surgery...

Word has it they're scouting around for another half a brain !!

I think you have under estimated the size he currently has bb.

Not to mention the humility gland

Give him some slack he can see his team fall apart in front of his eyes, I see a great fall next year, betts is slowing down, they are going soft. He might have something to cry about next year when Sloane leaves as a free agent.

Hey!

converted wife into a demon when she was 15 and i was 17...21 years and three junior dees later and all i want now is some fricken success - and i'm talking hawthorn-like twenty year dynasty not some willy nilly one-off fluke premiership - to justify my selection...

(and only really posting this to keep the lever run rate ahead of the watts' innings)

After a 54 year wait DA I will be happy with a fluke flag in 2018

how about we 'settle' (and don'tcha just love that notion) with a fluke flag, and then four in a row two or three years later?

I started following this mob in 1965.  I'll take any sort of flag at all;  it's the only thing left on my bucket list.

Hooked

What's a flag?

Sorry you guys Tex is ok by me, and so is Lever obviously. I reckon Bernie would have thought so too, or else he wouldn't have invited him.

He spat the dummy, who gives a sh##, although they were doomed by the crowd the maggots the media and the ground. If the game had perhaps been played in Adelaide it mightn't have been the same. 

What do people expect him to say and do." I thought we played well but were beaten on the day, pip pip".

The crows need to have a talk to tex because this is getting stupid. 

The crows haven’t achieved anything yet and we are improving consistently every year and loaded with top end talent. If we don’t overtake the crows in 2018 we definitely will in 2019 

jake will have just as much chance if a flag with us in the next three years as at the crows. 

Tex has made himself look silly

my favourite bit was when he talked about all the players crows have brought in from other clubs who basically form the nucleus of their side:
- jenkins
- lynch
- betts (free agency acquisition, no less)
- jacobs

he forgot about seedsman, hampton, cheney and the retiring thompson too...

it really was a 'we want to have our cake and eat it too' moment

Shout out to the mod who added "Walker" after Tex to my post. I would hate that people thought I was talking about Tex Perkins.

On top of aggressively chasing a contracted Bryce Gibbs, Steven Motlop and others. Tex has a loose grasp of reality. Especially considering he’s on a mint himself

He is a SA they are half brains most of them, except Goodwin and any of them that support the MFC, he has made a mistake with watts he looked for a escape goat for not making finals, so why not do what most MFC people do and blame watts

We're getting closer. This years 1st rounder and next years 1st rounder for Lever plus pick 18 which Adelaide get for Cameron. Seems like swapping of other picks as well.

This will leave us without a 1st rounder next year, but picks 18 and 27 this year isn't too bad.

so pick 18 for next year's pick 18 means we get jake for just pick 10......and get to use pick 18 a year earlier.....i like it

That’s a very good deal if we can swing that.
