I'm passionate because I've seen a number of Australian businesses try this head down tactic as a means to survival on the vicious international stage, all it did was open the door for their competitors and ensured their ultimate demise!
It's very naive to think there isn't a battle for the survival going on within and between AFL clubs, and that other clubs might well view our own downfall as a way of securing their own survival! Their are many who already think that with the expansion clubs the slices of the pie are too thin, and that the pie isn't capable of growing to a sustainable level.
Do you think Sheedy would blink twice at a bigger slice of the AFL pie for CheatsFC if it came from a Carlton evaporation? No doubt in public he'd say one thing, how bad it was for the game, how tragic for the fans, but privately he'd be heating things up to ensure it happened even faster.
You're very naive if you think our CEO making a media statement will save a generation of supporters from leaving the club. Wins, nothing but wins will stop that.
Do i think that Sheedy.....
I don't give a flying rats tossbag what sheedy thinks, or anyone else in the media.
The time for talking is long passed. Talking offers ammunition to the media, and most of the time it infuriates our own supporters.
Keep your head down and focus on what the club can do to fix the problem we are in, and not what Sheedy or anyone else thinks.
