The delusional narcissism in this place is getting out of control

Demonland =/= all Melbourne supporters. CEO letter is a weird thing to nit pick

Comical moustache and TV commentators always go on about the size of his hands. Thats all I've got.

I don't get all the carry on about picks getting pushed out due to father/son or academy selections. eg picks 7/8 going to 11/12 Academy and father/sons aren't players we or any of the other 16 clubs would have had access to, so what difference does it make? We still get the 7th and 8th crack at the best of what is available.

Coaching and culture. They have a long standing habit of turning relative plodders from other clubs into very very good players.

Was it funny in your head?

"The issue What does a one-pan Honey Ginger Stir-fry and the next Adelaide Crows premiership have in common? Christian Petracca. We want him. We need him. Let’s get him. You don’t have to scroll too far in the AFL app stats to see it: Adelaide’s record-breaking plummet from minor premiers to straight-sets heartbreak wasn’t just bad luck. It was a lack of midfield class. It was a lack of experience. It was missing On Trac. And the rumours are swirling again, that Christian Petracca, Norm Smith medallist, A-Grade midfielder, masterchef, wants a fresh start. What better place than Adelaide? We’ve got Tasting Australia. We’ve got the Central Markets. The best seafood in the country (with a tasty side of algae). And best of all, you’re kilometres away from the sheer arrogance of Collingwood and Hawthorn, or the farm-loving Cats. It’s time to right a wrong. Danger sold his soul to the dark side in 2015. Now we can finally replace him with an A-Grade midfield star. Christian Petracca. Let’s get him in Crows colours. Sign up today, and then it’s over to you, Reidy"

Paying overs in trades? Losing players we shouldn't like Bedford? Three year contracts to guys like McAdam who can't get on the field? Even considering an old cooked spud like Mihocek? I'm not a massive fab of Lamb, but trying to make players nominating other clubs his fault too is a stretch. Is TDK also his fault? What about Worpel, or Draper, or Oscar Allen?

Players nominating for other clubs is now Lambs fault too?

NWM 1000000% definitely deserved the 3, but Viney had 16 tackles in that game, which is huge.

Simpkin is exactly the sort of player most here would be complaining about if he went elsewhere and played well, while we brought in someone else like McAdam or Sharp. "Asleep at the wheel" "Sack Lamb" etc etc

We could have lost everything by waiting. What do you think every other guy on the short-list would have done once they figured out it was Buckley's job if he wanted it, but they were going to get dicked around till the end of the month to find out? We'd have been left with no one except Buckley, who would probably still have half an eye on Tasmania anyway. Then come his GF timeline (and after more time for the AFL to get their hooks in) what if he turned it down? We'd be back to square one. Probably even worse than square one cause who from our short list would want to come back, having already been told we didn't want them? We have made the right call.

Until that "dud" is a D'Ambrosio or Voss or Martin or whoever and they play well in their new location? Then what, we revert back to the "MFC is asleep at the wheel" angle?

Buckley spoke about participating in the process and didn't seem to have any issue with this. He actually sounded quite interested in going through the process as he has never done it before himself, having simply being handed the keys last time

I especially like when dot point # 1 and # 2 are the same person a few days apart and dot point # 3 is a work colleague
