Am I right in saying we aren’t doing an external review?

I hope we don’t, because we are perfectly fine, no point having a review of club that is going so well.

Good to see you’ve returned to your comfy old position of waiting for the sky to fall Clint. I was a bit worried last year that you might have accidentally seen the ray of sunshine peeking out from the clouds. ❤️

    Has the external review created better outcomes for the club yet, than an internal review? Let me know @Clint Bizkit

    2019 sucked the life out of me unlike any season before, but a few shocking list decisions have kick started my heart and I am back.

    Bring on 16th place next year I say.

    Do we have any interest in Campo?

    If he's not good enough for Adelaide then he's good enough for us!

    In all seriousness, to go from a decent caretaker coach to out the door is a pretty crazy ride.

    Same here mate, same here. Funny how we all respond differently, I reckon a psych major could write a great thesis on the behaviour of people who invest heavily emotionally in to bitterly disappointing sporting teams.

    2019 has been the year I pulled right back including pretty much cutting off all football media (which was a great decision even if Melbourne were flying).

    After the high of seeing us win two finals in person in front over 90,000 people (I wasn't even that upset about the preliminary final loss) to then go back to be complete and utter rubbish in less than six months just crushed me.

    Sacked as soon as the board had time to digest the report. He and Burton should be thinking about life after footy now I think, as I doubt they’re employable in this industry anymore.

    To be air though, Camporeale was senior assistant which is a position you would think their new senior coach would want to choose himself. Likely more assistants will be cut too once the new coach starts appointing their own people.

    This is a bit simplistic to assume that Campo isn't good enough for us just because he was let go by Adelaide. As Lord Nev pointed out, a new coach usually picks their Senior Assistant. Also, as far as we know Campo may have wanted a fresh start or might already have a role lined up or it might simply be the club seeing the need for change to help rejuvenate the club and it's culture.

    Whatever way you look at it the Crows have serious problems, with no coach, no chief of the FD, assistants coaches being shown the Dorrington and players wanting out all over the place. add the trading period / drafting is upon them. 

    Oh great it could not happen to a nicer mob.

    This is the only team in the competition that I truely hate.

    yeah but at least they have money and a massive waiting list for both membership and reserved seats.

    Agree though it's hard to put the finger on why they have failed in recent years.

    Perhaps the AFL needs to consider giving them a priority pick or two !!

    PS and who can forgive them for that year when we beat them in the finals yet because of the strange rules applying to "the six" they went on to win the GF.

    He did win 7 out of 11 in 2015 as caretaker coach. Inherited a fair team no doubt, but the circumstances couldn't have been easy.

    Certainly a crazy ride, without knowing the details of the review it's hard to say. Potentially collateral damage with a new senior coach coming in.

    I have hated them and the AFL with serious intent since DJ. And that does not take into account the worst supporters in the comp.

    Yes their supporters are a pack of wankers. They make the filth look like they have teeth. Hope they win the spoon next year.

    Nothing asked or said about the role of the Board in all this? Don’t ask the reviewers to ask difficult questions...

    ... nothing to see here, move on!....

     

    Crazy isn't it.

    Perhaps the least understood key factor in any team (or organisation for that matter) success is the strength of the board and the how effective its governance is. 

    It is one reason that i am very confident he dees will bounce back. We are in a good space in terms of our board, governance and executive.

    haven't given it much thought but in  a city like Adelaide being on the Crows Board would be quite an influential position.

    Wonder what their election structure is like as it could be skewed by the SANFL clubs who own the licence.

    This decision - was it due to an external review?

    Camporeale was seen to be too close to Pyke. No other finding against him.

    Wouldn't have thought loyalty was a bad thing.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
