Brutal, funny you being the one to talk about attitude, committment & give people advise about their mental state of mind.
Shall we look at your committed life....
Bloke with very few mates, sits on the net all day putting posts up on a website sometimes 5 in succession.... apparently hangs out with his nephew and his younger mates all day..... I've seen him out with them a few times too.....
Some of the blokes you sit there bagging are a great bunch of blokes and would add a solid grounding to any club. Possibly not all the 24 who have left Lower are superstar footballers, but they would definetly add the positive feel and strong friendship base that every club needs. Lower had that feel in the U19s in 2002 when I attended the club after a couple of games that season, but Lower failed to see the division that was spreading through the club like a plague.
The senior (contracted) players did not socialise with the reserves or U19s players and attended very few club functions. That's the difference between player being paid to be at a club and players who are dedicated to be at a club to enjoy their footy.
This is where I desagree with comments saying that all fot hose players who left weren't dedicated. A dedicated player will stay at a club even when they aren't being paid to play. Who many senior players at Lower now would stay if they weren't paid.... not many.
Possibly the mentality at Lower is, while players are with us we'll pay themt o keep them, but once they leave the club we'll sh1t can them as much as we can as well as the grade of football they play... like your comments around the D4 ammos.
I think Lower lost something quite large when those 24 players left the club.... something Lower and a lot of clubs would now love to have in their jounior ranks.... to bad all you can do if bag those players now.
I'll be watching your next interlectually reiverting comments with interest......
