Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.
I’ve been demanding success but not in capitals.the LEARNINGS from this message are immense!!!
Dyson - no offence
We demand SUCCESS....not excuses....messages......thanks......pledges.....promises
We need ACTION on the field .....not words!
I don’t think he disagrees with the sentiment but it didn’t sound like his words apart from “hi gang” at the start. Needed more cherry ripes and she’ll be rights.For sure, a bit of this.
I just worry a bit about our communication though. It just feels so read. If you’re going to do something like this, the first thing you do is go to Dyson, say this is why we’re doing, and if he’s on board... get him to write it. Then from there you can work with him on it if stuff needs adding/taking out from a club point of view. At least that way things have a sense of authenticity, it’s at least partly come from him.
This seems like it’s just a script jammed in front of him... I dunno. Maybe I’m wrong.

We would win 17 easilyCan you contact the club and offer your editing services?
I'm thinking if we pair all the behind the scenes EFC footage, with your MAFS editing skills, we could really go places.
media department and the board would probably have something to say about thatDyson's a good speaker.
Just tell him he can do without teleprompters.
Did BJ ring up for the quiz?Big tick for Dyson as the leader of the club from BJ on the ABC talk back. Said he is really important in t terms of empathy and isn't an excuse based athlete.
Good to hear and hopefully the captaincy is one area we have locked down for next season.
Never thought that I'd say this but I think Heppell's future role is as the seventh defender.
It gets him out of the midfield and provides some experience, leadership, etc at half back where we might otherwise be a bit light. While he doesn't provide the run of Houli we could then look at someone like Markov or Hunt to provide that run and develop some players for the future (e.g. Mc Quillan).
Can’t Hepp but think that at another club that’s the role he would have played from day one.... to a multi AA level
Yeah but he’s good at floating. Hepp would be a top 5 floater.Naah, he's was always a midfielder.
His first year wasn't that good anyway, it's not that hard to float around at half back without an opponent. His second year won few plaudits but he went into the midfield and played adult footy. It was a much better year.
McGrath was destroying the leagues best small forwards and still rebounding. That was a remarkable first year.
12 weeks away? The senior boys go back in 8 weeksConsidering PS games are what 12 weeks away its not ideal
Pre season games traditionally start 2nd wk of Feb. Im not sure if that will change. Maybe it needs to but is their announcement? I wouldve thought the year might even start earlier than usual next year as the decision will likely be made at the time of the country being in a strong position with CV12 weeks away?

It will definitely be later next year, they aren’t going to start the community series with the list only having 4 weeks of pre season.Pre season games traditionally start 2nd wk of Feb.
