I may cop it for this however,
I AM FU*KING SICK OF FREMANTLE'S CONSISTANT FAILIRES
West Coast were the perfect model to base a football club apon. Rich + succesful.
Instead these idiots have too much pride to play this game properly.
I am going to support the current ladder leaders and premiership favorites untill the blind connolly loses his job and someone with guts takes over.
I am going to study the way you play and operate and work out why you are just that little bit more succesful. I think fremantle are only 5 - 10 % away.
A bandwagon rider you are, a bandwagon rider you shall always be. I suppose your favourite team was the Saints last year, brisbane before the GF, and Port after?
It takes a strong personality to support a losing team. Yes they aren't successful, yes they have had a bad start to the season. But it is only round 4. There are 18 rounds left and anything can happen. If they don't win another game this year. Next year will come. That is the only certainty in football.
I'd love a chance to sit down with the coach and pick his brain. Make a few suggestions, play a forward line with 3 talls. Leave Murphy at FF for 1/2 a game and Johnson for the other half. Drop Sandilands, let Longmuir ruck 80% of a game, and Johnson the rest. Try farmer on the ball for a 1/4 (started on the ball against Richmond).
Drop the players who's disposal is poor. If you can't kick 40m, don't play em. Ie bye bye Macca and Cook. Hello Dunn and Mundy. If we play Bell, Schammer, Cook, Macca around the middle no wonder our midfield is getting smashed. Thier kicks can't penetrate the 50m. Cause they can't kick that far. Schammer and Bell are class, persist with them, but we can't carry 4 handballers in the team.
Who the hell is organising/educating the players about diet and weights regime? Why isn't JLo huge? WHy isn't Polak huge? Why is Medhurst so huge? Why did Peter Bell shake Snake Simmonds hand after the game and smile? Would Voss do this? Who out of our team has the killer instinct? WHy aren't our 100kg players shepherding at full pace? Why doesn't Pavlich run from CHF at full steam and smash a midfielder a couple times a quarter?
If I have this many questions of the coach. Im sure thirty thousand other supporters have just as many questions. But you have to sit back and realise that all your questions are not going to be answered.
You just have to hope that the coaching panel has the brains to ask these questions on thier own. And i think they do. But its not only them, the players should be asking the questions of themselves. Its hard enough to coach an AFL football team. CC shouldn't have to father 38 players. Its time the players took responsiblity for the clubs success. Because its the players inevitably that kick the goals and win the games.
So lay off CC's back. Stop trying to lay the blame, the recipe for success is desire. Have you got the passion !!!???
