Re: Giants Trample Blues - Post Match - Baggers - 05-16-2015
Speechless.
Yes Principal LODS, folks would be speechless. And hurting. Even in the darkest days of the Pagan era our Membership never dwindled.
I mentioned in another thread that any inaction from the Board now will only be viewed as 'Neroesque'. They've been good at telling us what they will no longer do (quick fixes etc) but have give us nothing positive; no vision. How low will membership go down? How long will match day crowds continue to dwindle? How long will we tolerate watching the very spirit of the players fade to a shadow? Perhaps all this is an accurate reflection of the Board?

Sorry but I have to laugh at that. ;D

From today's side Rowe, White, Jaksch, Dick, Curnow, Casboult, Armfield, Tutt, Watson and Ellard aren't up to AFL standard as footballers and a couple of others are borderline.
Does anyone seriously expect us to win matches with that many spuds in the team?
Jamison, Henderson, Walker and Kreuzer will improve us but only marginally and apart from Cripps there are no outstanding prospects at the club.
The next few years will be bleak no matter who is senior coach and unless we get rid of the imbecile who traded pick 7 for Jaksch it will be more than a few years.

I was talking to my daughter about that today, we didn't miss a game in our wooden spoon years but can't be bothered turning up now.
We both figured that back then our good years were fresh in the mind and we still expected to turn the corner, but now after more than a dozen years of failure the hope has gone and a sad resignation has set in.

He is the worst footballer I've seen play AFL for quite some time......a deadset clueless spud, with no skills whatsoever. Wtf were we thinking trading for this gump?

Yep, we may be witnessing the final glimmers of hope finally dying out. There's nothing at the club or coming out of the club to give us hope. Board conflicted and seemingly visionless, CEO who came to us with a cloud over his head and thus far has proven himself great at marketing fluff but little else... and a bunch of coaches who just make you wonder who appointed them and why.

OMG listen to you guys carry on would ya?? It can all turn around very very quickly. I have faith in my club. All we need is a change in direction. We will be back. Let's just hope the board expedite the process of change.

What shit me to tears was whenever a GWS player had the ball there were always numerous options for them. You could see their structures working to create those options.
Contrast with us who had the option of kicking it across the ground or to a contest which wasn't in our favour.
78 inside 50s. Is that close to a record?
