I'd agree on all the hate relating to CM if we had a 3-6 (W-L) start instead of the 6-3 start that we had. The last 3 weeks was more a reflection of us having too many injuries and the results have finally caught up with our truer form. Our current field is either not good enough, underdone, or both.

Let's not kid ourselves. Four of six those wins have been against Carlton, Gold Coast, Western Bulldogs, and St Kilda - 4 of the 5 bottom teams on the ladder. Fremantle, the 6th worst team in the competition, beat us last weekend.

Sydney & Richmond are our only wins of real merit. The Richmond win was achieved before the injury curse hit in full force. The players were hyper-motivated for the Sydney game, being desperate to prove that we could win without the injured stars. That level of performance was never going to be sustainable, and we haven't gone close to replicating it since.

We probably would have been 3-6, if we didn't have such a soft run against the bottom of the ladder teams early in the season.

Gotcha.

Can that help me minimise my tax?

The CM program must have been pretty bad if the trauma of it is worse that the trauma they should have over their insipid performance on GF day.

 

[Mike Smyth]

If only we could aspire to be like the Gold Coast.

We're better than the Gold Coast. Wow, we've reached the summit.

You're another who is a big part of the problem of this club.

Bringing up dead relatives probably isnt the best way to recover from a loss like that either.

 

[Mike Smyth]

So is this program still going or have we canned it?

The camp wont be done again, but we have a contract for this year.

I wonder if we can convince one of the radio shows to try and get Fagan on to explain all this?

their silence is pretty deafening, want Fagan, not Chapman he'll just hide behind some big words that will confuse our highly capable radio hosts.

Chappy did just that this morning

Right, we have a contract. So we will push forward regardless then aka Jenkins, Mackay style.

Did what?

 

[hey shorty]

Did what?

Was on radio dribbling.

Again, a number of players got a fair bit out of it so it's a bit difficult to get rid of it.

Link?

Well we lost 2 games by under a goal so realistically we were 2 kicks away from also being 8-4 and tied for top 4 even with the bad form and injury plague.

Its the sad reality that we live in!

 

[Mike Smyth]

Let me guess the ones that did were Mackay, Jenkins, Douglas and the ones that didn't were McGovern, Crouch brothers, Betts.

Well done AFC

Probably true, But Chappy probably could have gone further...

Seedsman and Sloane have come out and said they did, and the talk is quite a few more did.

The camp was a failure though, that's not in question

How is this moronic banker still at the club.

This is what I was talking about when I said a program like this would have been a disaster for indigenous players.

When I first got into management a "mentor" told me you should manage everyone exactly the same regardless of cultural background. The worst advice I have ever received.

I would totally agree.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Surely Chapman falls on his sword now. He has been in charge of too many major disasters.
