The Feats of Strength
It's no surprise that Roo and Burton were both caught up in the Fire Power scandal.
Imagine how many Nigerian princes they've sent their credit card details to.

So, so dumb. Both of them.
I'd put money that Burton uses a drink bottle that Himalayan rock salts in it.

I’m not referring to any criminality. I’m referring to his “credentials”. There appears to be none, other than being a concreter..
But when there were no voices in his head, he was pretty cluey.
Another item to add to the 'stench'.
I've heard a number of players talk about how much better the past players connections to the club is now.
Given that at each home game there is a 'past players and officials' box, and past players are rarely seen in there (sometimes their kids are, but not many), you have to wonder just how badly treated they have been. Are we that incompetent, that in a league where father-son pickups can be a great advantage, we have completely trashed relationships with past players?

To be fair its got to be balanced with what the players motivation is for not turning up
Yes there is a group - and we could name at least 5-8 - who wont ever return or it suddenly gets cold

This is a really interesting one.
Given our short history - there is a bit of a mixed demographic when taking this into account.
-You have Ex-Players who are now with other clubs/in club land like the Goodwins, Ruttens, Skipworths, Tom Lynch etc etc
-Players like Michael Doughty who are active player managers.
-Players who now live interstate/overseas.
-Players who have work commitments
-Ex players like Ricciuto, Nigel Smart, Jameson, Jacobs, Bickley, Clarke etc who are still involved/have been involved with the club.
-Ex players who ended up at other clubs (Phil Davis, Bock etc).
The only 'small' group I can think of who may be slightly embittered (for whatever reason) are the likes of Mcleod, Edwards, Ben Hart... Im not in Adelaide so dont know the more inner workings/grievances other might have had.

Is McLeod really in that group? He said his views a while back but he emphasised it was from a place of care and love for the club. He’s never been an overly public guy so I’m not sure the fact that we don’t see him all the time means he is embittered.
What’s the Hart issue, I’m not across that.

I remember Kevin Bartlett saying that when he finally went back to Richmond he regretted all the years of self-exile.
These footy club stand-offs over personality clashes are almost never worth holding onto.

The smell is getting stronger.
The problem is, the AFC is a cult.
No actual changes will ever be made. It needs a total overhaul. The entire board, coaching staff, a lot of the playing list.
But none of this will happen because there’s no accountability on those running this organisation. They couldn’t care less what people think.
Let’s hope we keep losing and no one attends.

Is there a process by which the club could become more member controlled?
And if so, how would we go about putting pressure on the club/AFL to make that happen.
I doubt it would make any difference, but it would at least make this shit easier to cop if we felt like we had a say.

We embrace bring a corporation over a footy club.
This is unbelievably accurate and, I think, at the root of most of our problems.
In football clubs, the corporate sector is there to support the football club.
In our club, the football is there to support the corporate sector.
Where the money side should provide the resources to be the best on field team, our on field team just has to be competitive enough to support the corporate sales. It's why we aim for finals, not premierships.
I am not sure about that.
Would Nicks keep his job in a public listed company.
Hamish certainly wouldn't.
I see it more as an insular group thinking they can run a successful organisation/footy club, but not smart enough to actually do so.
The AFC has always been a Boys Club. The difference being the boys in charge during the 90s were good/lucky in hiring their mate Blighty.

Would nix keep his job in a public service department? Because that’s our culture.
Sadly, he would. Probably get promoted.
Agree, that is the culture there.
