Oh well.
I have spent the last 15 minutes reading all your posts.
Bottom line.
We are cr@p.
Too many spuds. Rowe, Jones, Tutt, Dick to name a few.
Jammo is gone. Has terrible shoulders so he can't tackle with any intensity. Carrazzo gone. Touhey playing without any heart. Everritt is like my shower. Runs hot and cold and drives you mad because of it. Walker isn't the future. Simmo, maybe another year if the constant knocks don't finish him first.
I could go on but I won't.
Then there is the so called skills. They aint got any. Can't stick a tackle, although every attempt at a tackle gets recorded as one. In fact the only one that I saw actually stick a tackle every time he tried to do so was Cripps.
If they won't make him Captain next year because they reckon he's too young, then make him Vice Captain. He's got more ability, brains and courage in his little finger, than the rest of them have in their whole bodies.
Only two possibles at the moment for coach, as far as I'm told. Bolton the favourite because of the Clarkson connection, and Stewart Dew who was secretly interviewed this week and impressed.
Half the Board are deadwood.
SOS wants to asses all the "kids" hence the reason they are getting a go.
We do have a nucleus on which to build and we need to finish bottom for two reasons.
Firstly to get the number one pick. Secondly, because there is a chance we will get a priority pick. The club is financially rooted and Trigg has spoken to the AFL about this and the possibility of getting the PP. They haven't said no yet.
They can't afford a major club like ours to die on the vine.
As far as the supporters are concerned and the players damaging the brand and so on, forget about it.
The excitement of the draft, let's hope they don't screw it up, some decent trades, and a new coach will soon put all that to rest.
They will remove the deadwood and will show no fear or favour in doing so.
And then just watch the optimism return.
I have seen this before.
In 1964, our Centenary year, we finished 10th. It was the lowest our club had ever been.
In 1965, they went and got Barrasi, and in 68, we won the flag. And in 70, and 72 etc.
We did it once and can do it again as long as the right personnel are put in place.
And that means the Board, the CEO, the new coach and his coaching staff and the recruiting department, have to work there bums off to make it so.
It can all come together very quickly, by that I mean within 3 years like it did from 65 to 68.
The future rests in the hands of those who run the club and those that they have and will employ.
Let us hope they don't fk it up.
