i mean this as a serious question..it may seem like a troll, and if u think it is..then so be it.... The josh carr thread made me post this
Why is it, that so many excellent players come to fremantle and become just good, or not even that. How many talented youngsters come to freo and remain just that...talented youngsters...How many players have moved to another club and become very good?
Fremantle, since joining the competition, have 2 excellent players that they have developed themselves.. Mathew Pavlich, and Paul Hasleby. The rest are merely ok, or were taken from another team.
In the 10 years that fremantle have been in the AFL, they have played one final, which means they have had plenty of early picks. From those early picks, they have produced 2 excellent players, and a handful of decent ones. But for every decent player, there are 5 duds.
So then, you think to yourself... We need that player...the one, that will win us the premiership...or take us to finals footy at least.
So you draft Peter Bell. He plays some good footy, but unfortunately he's used as the "mop" across half back..gathers a tonne of touches, but doesn't relaly hurt the opposition. Stats look good...the fans are satisfied. Come september, they have an extended holiday again.Tony Modra! all we need is a focal point up forward, and we'll win the premiership!Trent Croad...get Trent Croad...he's what we need.... Jeff Farmer!Des Headland will surely make us see AFL finals!Josh Carr!!, Heath Black!!!........the list goes on
They have continoually gone for the quick fix, and failed time and time again.
Is it the Coach? Surely not... Gerard Neesham tried but did a shocking job. Damian Drum sacrficied his job, for the future, and hand picked some good young talent, but in the mean time, managed to lose all but 1 or 2 games.
Then came Chris Connoly... failure again
So it can't be the players, as most of the personell has changed over the 10 years..
It can't be the coach, you've had 3..and they've all failed
So tell me... your HONEST opinion... Do you really believe that the Freo coaching staff, the recruiting staff, the players etc. are doing a good job? What exactly are they doing wrong? Why do they accept such mediocrity?
Fremantle currently are in the middle of a 6 year blueprint for success. 6 years?? Come on... that's mediocre in itself... it took 7 years for the WCE, to win a premiership from the very beginning... it took port 9 years...
Now, for a team that already had infrastructure in place, had a few good players etc. is 6 years really acceptable?
SURELY the time has come, for the supporters to do something instead of accepting this mediocrity...
