Are you becoming an agitator?

I’ve ALWAYS questioned things I haven’t liked that they’ve done. I just don’t throw childish insults while I do it.Are you becoming an agitator?
Find I get a better response that way. 
What's the bet the 'who was your favourite player' question is to see who they put on their promotion for next season.
I expect to see Milera on more promo.

My contribution:
Like a lot of other supporters, I am terribly disappointed with the 2018 season and in particular the way it has been derailed/hampered by what is obviously a substandard fitness and injury management program.
This disillusionment has been exacerbated by the Collective Minds debacle and the Club's failure to manage the media/PR around it. The bunker down, closed shop approach did not work. The press conference with Don Pyke and Brett Burton was a disaster. - Don was good, despite his apparent bewilderment at having to be there in the first place, but Brett failed to take any responsibility, and simply tried to deny and deflect.
There has been no front-foot, firm statement, put the rumours back in the box approach that I want to see from my Club.
Where has our CEO been in recent months? Where has the Chairman been? Why does the coach have to front a press conference about an issue like this (and managed to look bewildered as to why he was there)?
I don't believe everything I have read in the tabloid media about CM and the camp. But it is clear that there were issues, and the Club has been far from transparent in explaining those issues. And so the vacuum was filled by media rumour and speculation.
I understand that the Club can't divulge every detail - especially personal matter relating to players - but, what was done fell a long way short of what was needed.
Overall, we have been told that the Club aims to have the best football program in the country, with the right people in the right seats. But our recent history offers no evidence that we actually mean it.
Many supporters believe the AFC is a "boy's club" where former players and mates of people on the board get preference in appointments to key positions, regardless of whether they are the best-qualified for the job. I think there's a lot of evidence to support that view.
We have a Football Manager and fitness manager who were recruited from a club that had one of the worst injury records in the AFL - and then our record went south. We have (had) a defence coach who was discarded by his previous club, and who, with all due respect, did not appear to have any great credentials.
We have two senior members of the coaching panel who have been in their positions for a decade. That in itself is not necessarily a condemnation of those people - but why, after a lack of success over that time, have we never tried something/someone new?
This coming off-season is perhaps the most important in recent times - not just in terms of draft and trading, but for off-field review and changes as well. To take a glass-half-full view, it is a massive opportunity for the Club to review and understand the mistakes of recent times, and take firm, decisive and even ruthless action to correct them.
The coach and players did a great job in 2017. Please do whatever it takes to let them achieve again in 2019.

I gave mostly 9s & 10s like most true supporters would.
I gave a 9 last year.
Its probably Burton receiving them and deleting them as they come in.Good timing
At least it seems like they're asking the right questions to gain accurate frustrations of the supporter base.
Hopefully they learn from it.

No need to change it.
Me too
I may not a true apricot slicer, but it did hurt to have my mouse clicking on the left-hand end of the lists. It was a bit like talking to a naughty child - "I love you, but - this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you..."
I swung hard. Lets see what they say.

My money is on "Watch the car please".
Go and spray paint it on the windows down at west lakes.
