Episode 33: Couldn't Coach a Mouse to Eat Cheese

The evidence is piling up, the suspects are looking nervous, and Adelaide’s AFL Trade Period investigation has hit a dead end.

This week on The Attempted Murder Podcast, we’re examining the crime scene that is the Crows’ lack of movement. With the trade period underway, the silence is deafening. No big moves, no real action, and plenty of questions that need answering. What’s going on behind closed doors? Is there a master plan, or have the Adelaide brains trust lost the plot?

Meanwhile, the footy journos are back in the interrogation room. We’re putting their reporting under the microscope as the rumour mill keeps churning out suspicious stories, convenient narratives and a few claims that look like they’ve been cooked up in the lab. Are these genuine leaks, or are some journos making up their own evidence and hoping the story sticks?

ATTEMPTED MURDER – EPISODE 32

The Runners Wall - CASE FILE

The latest trade period has gone suspiciously quiet, and the evidence is mounting: very little movement, plenty of speculation, and not a whole lot of action. In Episode 32 of Attempted Murder, we examine the scene, question the witnesses and investigate the biggest crime of the week — the complete lack of movement in the trade market.

But that’s not the only case we’re reopening.

We also return to a particularly compelling piece of evidence: the moving speech delivered by the Crows CEO at the Club’s Best and Fairest. What was behind the words, what did they reveal about the club, and why did the moment leave such a lasting impression?

The files are reopened, the suspects are back in the frame, and the investigation continues.

Attempted Murder — where no football crime goes unsolved.

The case file is open. The evidence is mounting. And something is seriously missing at Adelaide.

In Episode 31 of Attempted Murder, we investigate the latest losses at the Adelaide Crows, with Butts and Pedler leaving the club and questions mounting about what happens next.

But this investigation goes deeper than departures.

We’re asking the uncomfortable question: what is actually missing from this football club?

The answer might be sitting right in front of us.

Mongrel.

That nasty, uncompromising edge. The refusal to lie down. The instinct to hunt when the game is slipping away. Because when Adelaide is five goals down, where is the flight? Where is the desperation? Where is the bloke who says, “Not today. Not on my watch.”

Other clubs seem to have it. Adelaide, right now, doesn’t.

So we dust off the crime scene, examine the evidence and ask the big question:

Can you build a successful football club without mongrel?

Or is this the one piece of evidence that finally cracks the case?

The Crows are under investigation. The charge sheet is growing. And the verdict is far from in.
