Fletcher for Captain

[Pevers-Legend]

Bravo fletch you've done it to us again. And how old are you - and what did you do last year - whether he should have gone (and I didn;t think he should have) or not is irrelevant as you just don;t give em a chance to report you.

Where is the leadership of Fletcher?? We will never get rid of him - but he has to be the most moronic and les face it - selfish footballer on this planet. Last year he alone cost us the game to Port - If he had played on Tredrea we more than likely would have won - considering the change it would have made to match ups. Now he has done it again - giving Tredrea all the added confidence he needs to have another fluke day out on us.

IMO Fletcher should have 1/4 of his salary docked for this year. I know that seems extreme - but he let his teamates down AGAIN. I'm sure he feels repentent - but who gives a schit. He did it to them again and the players should let him know that.

Twice in two years in unforgivable.

More than twice.....Fletcher needs to be punished by the club. Not sure what the answer is, but it really needs to teach him a lesson. If we made the GF, I would love to sit the Dumb F@#k in the stands. However given that premierships dont grow on trees, he would be required on the ground.

Every time I`ve said it. He should have 50 large deducted.

 

[dave_27]

LOL. We might as well appoint Cupido as vice captain while we're at it.

 

[mantis]

heck, get real people, OK I admit he is a bit careless sometimes, but come on, this report is total bullshyte, no way he deserved to go for that.

Windy, you are calling for Fletch to be fined, how about Cupido, how long has he been playing for us & how many times have his stupid acts, or selfish play nearly cost us games.

Tell you now, I would rather Fletch in our side than Cupido.

PS. Pevers_Legend, the above is directed at you as well.

The thing that gets me is even if we beat Port he'll still be out for the Collingwood game. Very, very frustrating player is Fletch.

Don't talk ****. Fletch is one of our best players and veterans who should know better. Cupido is a kid who has helped us win games and has missed one game through injury. How long do we put up with this ****. Fletch is a superstar full-back who we need fit and firing. His teamates would start to be getting sick of this. we need him on the field and the sooner dustin realises this and pulls his head in the better.

Dustin is to good a person and footballer to continually get himself in this kinda ****. Wake up dustin!!!!!

 

[mantis]

Give us a break Marcuz, which games has he helped us win, he stars after the game has been won, he is a front runner, how many games has Fletch actually won us.

I have seen Cupido nearly lose more games for us, with his crap & if you have noticed, his team mates are sick of it, just look at MJ & Hird for starters.

Yeah.

Surely they will appeal though??

And it could be reduced to 1!

Although if Brodie Holland got 2 for what he did then Fletcher shouldn't even have made an appearance at the Tribunal.

The kid will learn. Are you telling me that the bomber players arent getting sick of fletch constantly getting reported. Cupido has lost games for us?



Fletch has lost games for us by not being on the paddock and that is fact!

He is too good a player to be doing this ****. End of story.

 

[mantis]

Marcuz, I said nearly lost games for us, friday night perfect example, the game was in the balance, sure he was hard done bu with that free against him, but getting into the umpires face & giving away a 50 metre penalty, could have swung the momentum.

Just remember how long Fletch has being playing for us & all the games he has helped us win, get a bit of perspective.

I dont disagree with you mantis. the kids got a temper. But even you must be excited by what this kid will do for us in the next few years.

What im trying to say is that Fletch is a senior player who we need out there for every game. He cant help us win if he is not playing. I agree he has helped us win many games and thats why im so angry becuase a match winner is not out there again through suspension. If he was a dud we wouldnt be talking about him.

It needs to stop

No I am not excited, you are admitting he has a temper, but he is just a kid, what if he never gets over it, he will lose us games, I have spoken to Lions people, who weren't upset that they lost him, for that very reason.

I have already agreed that Fletch's actions get him & the team in trouble, but how long has he been playing for us, how many games has he helped us win, as opposed to the number we have lost because he has been suspended, all I am asking, is for a bit of perspective.

Carey, Buckley, Jarman, Lockett, Brereton all had tempers and could all play a bit. Lions can think what they ****en like so can you. You dont have to be einstein to work out the kid has talent. He will be a very good player for us. Anyway cupido has **** all to do with the topic at hand.

**** perspective. 11 times reported. First step in dealing with a problem is admitting you have one. And you mantis seem to be in a bigger state of denial than fletch is.

No more ****ing reports. AA full backs are hard to replace

 

[marcuz]

I do apologise bomber fans especially to you mantis, sorry mate, I was a bit ****ed off last night.

Time to channel our anger at port.

That's the main point sandy. His been playing for ten years and has been suspended before for doing stupid things, you'd think he'd learn after a few times but no, he hasn't.

Cupido may be a tad arrogant at times and may have been on the verge of costing us games, but he sure as hell hasn't played as much football as Dustin has.

This time, he's let everyone down. This is the kick up the arse he needs and maybe dropping him will help.

 

[eastaugh36]

One thing this has hopefully taught the club, dont trade Jacobs. With Fletchers unreliability and poor record we would be totally stuffed when (not if) he gets suspended in the future.

 

[IceTemple]

Mantis don't be a moron. Fletchers action is much more damaging to us than Cupidolls at the moment. Fletch has been doing it for 10yrs and still has not learnt.

Cupido is in his first yr for petes sake!! If he does his stupid stuff over the next two years and doesn't change then we will all give him shyte. Give the guy a chance!

How about giving it to MJ for the stuff he does during a game. He is great, works hard and is an integral part of our team BUT have you actually noticed how often he gives away cheap free kicks 'cause he can't tackle! He hasn't learnt and obviously nobody bothers to teach how to change this.

all is not lost though - when we make the grand final he'll be available to play

 

[windyhill]

How poor old Cupes got dragged into this debate I`ll never know. Very silly comparison. Fletch, who I love dearly, has gone and ended our season. He needs to be hit in the hip pocket.

MJ??? Do you realise how many stupid free kicks he given away this year? Watch the melbourne game, he gave away about 3 in front of goal. One of which almost gave melbourne the game after he elbowed brad green in the face.

 

[windyhill]

It`s a long way away perth.
