Do you think our support base is growing or dropping after the Tippett Situation

my friend said that by 2016 we would be the laughing stock of the AFL and will only have 10'000 members

of course i am far from believing that

but more to the point how much longer can our supporters keep on waiting for that 3rd premiership what will it take for the crows to win one

i've heard people say that its the people running the club that are stuffing us up from winning one

i dont believe that although our board can be alot better but its the onfield in my opinion that win you premierships if they perform well no one will even care that Steven Trigg is there

Yes, Tippett was a huge loss but I think it is blown way out of proportion. Tex Walker fully fit and Eddie Betts should add some fire to your forward line. Remember before this year Betts would kick 40+ goals every year. You do have solid youth in Grigg, Laird, Crouch, Johnston, Smith, Brown, Lyon and Kerridge. Cannot see a flag but I think people seriously underrate the Crows.

This thread is about the Crows' supporter base and you're talking about their forward line and youth? :P

Way to ruin a thread lads :P ::)

On your topic, Phil... I wouldn't be surprised if the Tippett saga did turn a few supporters off. I for one was really shocked at how the whole situation played out and the loss of draft picks has/will really hurt us. True supporters though will always stick around.

I can't see us being a laughing stock of the AFL. We've got a great new oval and a heap of good players. Don't expect Adelaide to be at the bottom for long :)
