(06-19-2018, 03:26 AM)LP link Wrote:The recent public uttering from senior club officials (SOS, McKay, Judd, BB and now The Judge)have all publicly pegged this as the predicted toughest year of the rebuild, even excluding the Docherty injury and Gibbs trade. But they didn't do so pro-actively, before teh season, they waited for the sh1t to hit he fan and then told us retro-actively!
Yet it was hope and an exciting new brand they peddled prior to the season!
If they had just come out and stated this year was expected to be tough, and we were consolidating on the past, most fans would have accepted that!
I realise not everyone believed them, especially the older heads, but it hurts the young supporters more than anything to be offered chocolates only to get boiled lollies! That sort of mean spirited spin hurts the club long term, and I think it tells you who and what they really care about!
It makes them look like car-salesmen! Trust us, we lied to you in the past but we are not lying now!
I don’t understand what part of the above you don’t understand ?
Did you expect them to say prior to round 1 “Any hint of injuries or individual form slumps and we’re screwed LP, save your cash for next year” ?
What happened last trade/draft period ?
We booted some older guys and drafted younger ones, mid table was always going to be optimistic, except to you and fly I guess...
Edit:there’s a difference between “expecting us to be where we are now” and saying that they knew this was going to be a tough year.
IF we were picking best/almost best 22 week in and week out, do you think we would be where we are now ?
The (slightly) older additions to the list have hardly gotten on the park Lang, Kennedy, Shaw, Garlett... they were supposed to help us bridge to Dow and O’Brien etc.
2nd and 3rd options have played too many games this year.
Let’s go BIG !
