Direct Contrast

["The Roar Is Back"]

About a month ago the coaching staff decided to play new/ younger forwards in the senior side, this inturn meant a few older blokes had to make way, Richo was able to go to a wing, and there appeared to be new enthusiasm amongst the group and all looked good.
Can anybody tell me why that had to be changed back to the old , and now current, sh!t fight we have, because to me it aint progress and it aint heading in the direction of the future ??

In other words, a summary of every other thread goin round this board atm...

But maybe, just maybe, Wallace picks the side thinking it will be the one that will have the best chance of getting us over the line.

Two steps forward, three steps back.
How many more years do we have tp deal with this crap for

You mean from the coaches or the fans?

well it's kinda the subject of another thread on changing dynamics, a few of us are baffled at the plan that would appear to change after ea round

The answer is simple, we are obviously tanking for draft picks. As someone on this board pointed out a while ago, we are the only team in the comp that plays its senior blokes if it wants to tank for draft picks.

Either that, or Wallace has no f.v.cking idea. Hmmm, come to think of it ....

That is such an ignorant comment eays it's not even funny. If you honestly think that a football club would deliberately lose every single game for the rest of the season starting less than halfway into the season, you have less idea than I thought.

Yeah , that'd never happen....

After Round 10 or 11 did they start? So when they sacked their coach after about round 15, that was because he wasn't losing well enough?

YOU'VE hit the nail right on the head. The key was the "enthusiasm" generated by the likes of Riewoldt, White, Edwards, Morton, Cotchin. Enthusiasm!!! And that's what has been missing. These players had the opportunity to stamp themselves and were doing so, but then we regressed and went back to the old and tried.
Just let the younger guys play. We've seen what the older brigade can do and it hasn't gotten us anywhere.
Add Polo and maybe Hughes to the mix and let the future begin!
While we are on enthusiasm...Riewoldt is a must every week. The guy is the epitome of enthusiasm!

In answer to the first part of your question : Yes
In answer to the second part of your question : I dunno , probably. Maybe they found out Judd didn't like Pagan.

Lol, you dont get sarcasm ... clearly i was trying to say that i think Terry has no fv.c.king idea about what he is doing.

 

[JSFish]

Sorry...I thought you were suggesting both. I'll try to improve my detection of sarcasm in typed words for the future though.

For the rest of the year - Riewoldt and Hughes OWN the 50. It's a must. They work well together and they're our future.
