Preview Changes: R8 vs Essendon

[Murray2503]

Our rebuild has just been revised from 5 years to 7 years.

Not a good idea starting a rebuild with a rookie coach.

 

[SaltPeter]

It's nights like tonight you lose faith in Nicks.

After a strong start with selection, he has gone weak at the knees & completely forgotten we are in a rebuild year.

These elections are up there with one of our most disgraceful in our history.

Its a bit like the back half of last year where everyone but the club could see 'backing in and playing the seniors' was a great strategy

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I was pleased when Ricciuto announced the rebuild

Do we know when he'll be giving us a start date?

 

[Shaz2012]

Gee it’s good watching the Suns

Now that they are sorted can the AFL move Mark Evans to their other basketcase franchise?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The board was responsible for employing Trigg who was responsible for the tippet saga well at least 5 of the 9 if it voted that way, Chapman didn't have the authority to employe trigg

Then the board were responsible for employing Fagan who was responsible for the camp saga

Im confused on you understanding of corporate governance if that was breached ASIC would be involved

I can't be bothered arguing with the village idiot who is completely oblivious that the Crows have been rotting under Chapman.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Do the Rams still have a team?

......last 2.5 years

What he meant is we are going to rebuild the careers or our older players.

Brand new Mackay v14.

Hartigan the power forward.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Predictable as the tides those changes, and precisely why it will be decades before we win anything. Yep, decades. Unless the boys clubs is overthrown, we will continue to be the epitome of either mediocrity or shitfulness.

 

[Kezza86]

Thomas is cooked.

Think longer term perhaps Adam Kelly could take over Fagan role, he seems to have the CV. And then get in a genuine AFL GM of Football.

Probably really need a Chairman with an AFL or at least strong football background to reign in Jamieson, Riccuito and Smart as well.

Or he’s sick of dealing with their president and push of getting into China.

Is Dwayne Russell the most annoying commentator ever? I think yes.

Basil would give him a run

Healy gives him a run for his money

Though Derwaynes constant references and comparisons to Port wear thin quickly

According to you Boards have no responsibility for the poor performance of the organisation.

You are a deadset wally!

 

[hey shorty]

You'd start squad rotation for the 4 day break, not the 6 day break

Precisely.

Our next game is Wednesday or Thursday isn't it ?? Bring the senior guys in on Sunday and give the kids a rest so they don't need to back up.

That's the only mildly acceptable scenario, but we know that isn't what will happen.

He did admit to being confused

 

[Bay62]

This Paramatta vs Wests Tigers game is a good one

Good to see two competitive teams go at it. Hardly recognized it

I tried not to laugh at his post [emoji4]

 

[Drummond]

What a pathetic, gutless, spineless, weak football club we are. Deserve everything we get.

Huh I said the 9 boatd members voted in both trigg and Fagan to run the club

They were fully responsible as a board for both those decisions

im actually speechless.. its beyond comprehension.

its almost as if they are deliberately trying to piss their supporters off..

 

[jackster83]

The only way this is remotely acceptable is if this is the start of squad rotation.

But it isn't, and even the most positive people, even more than me, could not possibly be happy with this.

We'll be the only club to not turn over the side during the compressed part of the season. Milera and Sloane will come back in, that's about it.

Our club is not just shit: we're shit and have no interest in getting better. We're like Kodak when the digital camera revolution hit.
