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...

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
