This club has always been respected for being well organised and run really well.
The Bp football club "The quite achiever,"
But we have totally destroyed them. The ram job on that day in September 2017 has turned them into Stkilda. They thought that the 2017 flag was there's. We weren't North or Stkilda.
From the camp where there players were put though Guantanamo Bay Torture sessions and now the X captain going back to 1995 and with a racial comments to a opposition player that his OWN club dobbed him in.
The joint is fked. I can believe that 'Don Pkye would ever be considered for another coaching job after what happened under him.
Lets go after DooDay and Seedsman.

30 September 2017 has proved to be a massive fork in the road for the Crows.

Two hours on an overcast Melbourne afternoon literally changed the course of that club. Amazing.

History will ask how it was that the favourite for the 2017 flag could fall away so quickly and spectacularly. They had the cattle to stay at the top of the ladder for years.

Instead ... hero to zero in no time flat.

It's like they simply packed up their bat and ball and checked out at 5pm that day.

The only 'Fork' is stuck in Pkye's asss. He was Toooo cocky.
I always said good luck beating us in a GF especially on the G.

Cracks were always there at Adelaide, we just split them open. Same with GWS for that matter.

Too much emphasis placed on a single game, even if that game was a GF. Instead of acknowledging what happened and celebrating the achievement of actually making the GF, Adelaide chose to turn inward and blame each other. The results are there for all to see. Again, GWS followed a very similar path after their GF belting minus the Gitmo style camp.

In contrast, look how we handled ourselves after the 2018 prelim loss. Sure we were all disappointed but we didn’t turn on each other. The clubs official response was “*smile* happens” and moved on. The results that follow speak for themselves.

The reason why the Crows fell off the cliff straight away was nothing more than the fact they were not a close team they had no bond no brotherhood, no love vibration no good times.

They instantly turned on each other (started during the 3rd qtr) and the resentment set in, then had blokes looking to get out, and eventually leaving, (Lever, Greenwood, Atkins).

That's the end of a footy team when that manifests, and they tried to manufacture a faux brotherhood at their disastrous pre season camp which made things even worse.

Their 2018 was all about beating us which they did in the early rounds and suddenly they had nothing left to play for and nose dived.

Just on SEN

Suspended for the last three years season 21 and first three of season 22.

Think this puts his career in doubt doesn’t it?

How can he go on and look at his Indigenous teammates and being the former captain.

What he is alleged to have said has been told in SA but not repeated here.
