Dees and Tigers are moving in the right direction, finally. It only took a few years of wooden spoons and playing like a complete pile of shite, but they're on their way now. On the flip side the Crows have picked a great time to hit rock bottom and could end up with a spoon and SFA to go with it - although I think they'll manage to avoid it.

Awesome effort from Jack Riewoldt on the weekend, a 10 goal haul. Leading the Coleman in a team currently sitting 16th is a fair effort.

Well as good as it was to watch Freo thump Port it was an absolute tragedy to see Barlow go off with a broken leg and most prob out for Freo's finals run :-( Barlow is an absolute machine, he was currently sitting in the top 3 favourites for the brownlow medal in his first year of AFL football!!!

Completely f**king disgraceful. It's like they werent even trying / like they didnt give a shit. Running around casually. (Some players more than others)

True embarrassment. The crows are going to wipe the fkn floor with us next showdown

Yeah Deano, I'm thinking that if we don't win soon, that we will be battling West Coast for the wooden spoon.

Choco is pretty much dead man walking and his off the cuff statement in yesterday's paper was possibly intentional to help get him pushed out the door early so he can join his mate Sheeds up north.

If Choco has to go, he needs to go now so we can at least groom Ladley before they snap him up to GC.

IMO Melbourne and Essendon might have made the Crows look a little better than they actually are, so I wouldn't be too worried yet.

I must be psycho psychic!!! :)

until we know whether the final year of his contract was paid out by the club (cause Gordon Pickard didn't dip his hand in his pocket) then everything is speculation.......it seems at this stage that it was mutual.

Oh well, looks like Sheeds has a new assistant coming soon to Northern Sydney

not just an assistant but a pioneer for a new club........he's been at the helm and the brunt of the media for over a decade now so probably had a gutfull and wants to take start enjoying life a bit more with his many kids.

If he was pushed, then I'm sure that he was paid out for next year.....like I said, only time will tell

its pretty sad. not that i really care who coaches port, he was there for a long time and picked them up from a mediocre club to one that won a premiership. nothing anyone can say can take that away from him, as it proved he as a coach had what it takes - how does this years team compare to the premiership team?

Reminds me of the unceremonial way they dumped poor Cahill... least they gave choc the option of saving face and resiging.

and pete, if he goes to sydney and they beat port next season at the end of the ladder i daresay hes going to be a very happy chap

But that is the nature of the business, everyone loves you when your winning, but i guarantee you, if Geelong loses 5 in a row, they will be calling for Thompsons head. Unfortunately it is not like the workplace where one would reward loyalty to the organisation, otherwise coaches would never bloody leave.

yeah. its a shame AFL such a brutal meritocracy but thats the nature of all pro level sports I suppose

Crows already did that this year (7 in a row)

having said that, it's like a total reversal of form between both SA teams from earlier in the year............gonna be a loooooooong season :(

Actually Pete the Crows beat Richmond in round 7 so they only lost 6 in a row. Crows will also regain Bock, McLeod, Knights, Burton & Mackay in the next couple of weeks. If they can find form and match fitness the Crows have a very slight chance of making the 8 but will more likely shape the ranking of the final 8 but ultimately miss out on September action.

IMO Choco was shoved out the door but is getting some payments (although it is rumoured to be less than his full contract). It will be interesting to see how the players respond. Historically clubs win the game immediately after a mid-season change of coach for often than not. However, the game against the WBD in Darwin (I think) will be a tough ask.

It's nice to see the Crows above the Power though. :P

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
