Little different to what Clarkson did

Horse made Stephen’s the scape goat last week , should have been heeney but then that would look bad
Yeh, I agree with that. Still feel that we are oddly critical against our own.
 
I've supported this club, along with many of you, for a long time.
When we never made finals & were basket cases, it hurt but at least players had some sort of knowledge that if they stuffed up, they got dragged &/or dropped. Medievil by today's standards but when our coaches & selectors continue to harm players by playing them in the seniors when out of form, then they need to step aside at year's end.

I have been watching Ross Lyon's Saints.
They have been undermanned from the get go. He has in a matter of weeks set the standard & rewarded those that got the job done by continuing to play them on form. Even when a more senior player becomes available.
In a matter of weeks Ross has built depth & integrity in his list & selection. His players know this. In the past Ross has been guilty of the opposite which brought about his downfall at Freo among other things.

Now we will be forced to play someone like Gould who doesn't have the coaches' trust.but hey, as a supporter I'm more than happy to watch him make mistake after mistake than I am any of those players that played last night that should have stood on the defensive line.

If Horse & co don't pick Gould or Francis because of some flaws, then they have compromised their list & selection integrity, even after the disaster of picking an injured Reid over McDonald in the Grand Final.

It's still early days. I couldn't care less if we win or lose from this point.
When we lost two key defenders it was hard for any of us to see us fight out the game & almost win. We watched Ollie Florent shine & Warner step it up. We saw Rampe's leadership when he once again played tall.
We nearly did it & that was with a lack of players. Something within the group made them step it up so it's there but it needs reward. Hayward has been dropped before & came back better. Sheldrick MUST come in.
Francis can take a freaking mark. We chased & recruited him.
Now is the time to break the glass in case of emergency.
I can deal with his shortcomings because he will continue to learn. Same with Amartey & Logan. Heeney, Hayward & Buddy won't learn anymore.
They know it. They either can't do it anymore or are badly down on form & confidence.

Seems Adam Goodes is trending on twitter.
By all means tell this FW what you think of him and his post.


I'm confused on what Goodes should be grateful for?
The fact that he was vilified and unprotected against racial abuse for the last year of his playing career. Wow, yeah, I guess Goodes should've just kept his head down and thanked the AFL for what he got.

Sounds like the response that Gruel gave Oliver twist when he asked for more.
