Mark Ricciuto is one of the most polarising figures at the Adelaide Football Club.
As a club director, past premiership player, captain and Brownlow Medallist, he s now also a prominent media figure in the football industry.
While there has been a clean-out of personnel at the Crows in recent years - following the turbulent fallout of the 2017 Grand Final loss and subsequent infamous Gold Coast training camp - Ricciuto has remained an influential figure at the club.
He sat down with chief football writer Mark Robinson to discuss everything from the Collective Mind camp, juggling his media commitments with his club responsibilities, rebuilding the Crows, to the departure of Hugh Greenwood, rift with Andrew McLeod and the performance of Matthew Nicks as coach.
