Opinion Changes V Dees

and whats John Wardrop role?? He must have helped with the hawks success?

 

[larrikin]

30 years ago members actually had a say in the operation of their club, pity they are faceless organisations now that just peddle the same cliche every week to appease the masses.

Thirty years ago we played in a semi-professional sporting comp where players trained twice a week.

A trailer of shit is the only thing known to work.

Thats very specific, sounds like you have had some experience?

And players could have a cheeky *** outside the ground.

Yeah that really turned Richmond around

 

[Mancey]

well i think enough is enough i'm thinking of emailing the club. Simpson Does not care I think! Why can us the fans see this!! Get better players in the middle.

Cheers sooz

Like dumping a trailer of sand at the beach

 

[Mancey]

Do it now!! Take action!!

But sir, the trade period doesn't open until....

NOOOOOOW! DO IT NOW

 

[Keys]

Out: Redden (omit), Gov (inj), McGinnity (it was fun while it lasted badgerman)

In: Nelson, Emac, Duggle

May as well continue to burn Duggan's confidence in this horrible HFF flank position we have created if only for exposure to the level. I'm not sure he is getting much out of the WAFL. **** EP seriously.

Redden...normally I'm against only giving a bloke 1 week but his defensive running was non-existent. Zero hunger. Send him back to the WAFL for the year. He needs to get his body right and work his arse off to repay the faith shown by the club and MC.

Emac for Gov is a no brainer if Gov needs to rest his thumb. Let Barrass play the third tall and "Govern" the backline.

Lord Nelson to bring the Ginners fire with a higher skill base. I'm pretty sure the Dees are Spanish with blokes called Yze running around the place. Let Nelson scatter their fleet and protect the motherof all flat tracksland from the Dee armada

The Nelson reference gets you a like

 

[Mancey]

Lets hope he doesn't get taken down by a filthy sniper though

 

[Eaglemaniac]

It doesnt matter who we bring in, because they will most likely be played out of position to accommodate Sir Ploddus to play 90% game time in the middle. Redden racks up 30 possessions in the WAFL, gets played on a flank...Nelson dominates as a midfielder, gets played as a tagger...real smart group we have running the show..
Same thing was happening with Karpany, was played out of position for two seasons trying to turn him into something he wasnt, and as soon as he gets played in the position he got drafted for, he plays well enough to be considered. Our so called brains trust have NFI..

 

[Biggie]

Hogan free to play

At most clubs this would be it for priddis but at our club, priddis will play next season.

So you talk about how bad it is that Priddis can only play one position and yet go on to say that the reason Redden, Karpany etc have not been performing is because they are not being played in a singular, preferred position? You can't preach versatility and then condemn it.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Priddis hasn't actually played 90% of game time in any game this season, FWIW.

Not sure you can cite playing Nelson in a tagging role as a failure of the coaching staff either.

THIS IS Gospel!! And then it becomes everyone else's "fault" when don't thump sides by ten goals. And rubbish like this is said on the WCE website (Point 2)

Vast difference between being able to be rotated out of your "preferred position" to somewhere else, compared to your only rotation being to the Bench!

I actually fear for us next season. we could be a mid table side at best and drop off after that once jk, emac, hurn, butler, lecca all get closer or past 30. I can see us being at the bottom of the ladder for an extended period.

Have we ever been at the bottom for an extended period?

Please tell me all fans react like this to losses (or in this case, a win).

This is what annoys me the most, Redden is a proven inside mid and we play him on a flank...we do the same with Duggan. I know Priddis has good record in the guts but we need to be playing Duggan, Sheed and Redden in the guts for bigger bursts.

2008-10 could have been worse if we didnt have the likes of cox, embers, kerr, glass, Waters and lynch. Only way things change is if sheed and duggan take massive strides and the midfield it self playing like a top 4 side. AT the moment every other line is just about elite but if we wait another 2-3 year we might lose some of best/important player and hence drop.

To be fair, 2008-10 were exceptional circumstances. Other than that, we have always been up and about. West Coast is a rich club, plenty of resources, I don't see us falling away long term. We've still got plenty of young talent in NN, Darling, Barrass, Duggan and Sheed. We can't afford to be complacent, but the foundations are there.

to be fair by long term i mean 3-5 years and not melbourne like long term. I just dont think our recruiting and development over the years have been great. Hit the mother load in 2010 but since that Sheed, Barrass, Duggan, Nelson and maybe cole have shown that they might turn into good footballers IMO 5 players in 5 years is pretty bad. Trading hasnt been too bad with yeo, cripps and wellingham. The jury is still out on jetta and redden tho.
