Helpless Feeling

[Wizard]

Does anyone else here feel totally helpless about the way the club is going? You want to help the club go forward but the only real way tat you can is by buying a membership. I'm frustrated as hell at the moment. I feel like giving up this game and making a strong change to soccer and completely fogetting about this side, but i no it will never happen.

Suddenly unattached and disinterested is where I'm at. Helpless after the Brisbane at the GABBA. Now you just kinda get used to it and just hope in vain that something might actually change.

Dis-interested that sounds familiar. I will always sit through a game wether we are winning or not, but today enough was enough. I got up and went for a run at half time hoping things would be dfferent when i got back but no such luck.

I went and played a game on computer, occassionally flicking back to see if it had gotten better. No. Bugger it the computer's good.

This is an interesting thread to be honest. I was intrigued reading the majority of threads display anger and disappointment today - normally to be expected - but strangely, emotions that rarely entered my thoughts during or after the game.

I'm normally a complete ass to be around when the boys put in a display like that, I was asked during the game if I was in 'a mood' but no, I was actually just sitting back quietly taking it all in as if I expected it. Subconciously, I probably did.

The prevailing mood for myself (aside from that mentioned in here already, disinterest) was humour. I found the game funny. I wasn't alone either, someone around my area shouted out after 1 of the many points we were kicking 'Yeessss, only 51 to go.' Most laughed.

Went to a party tonight, normally the freo fans would get hounded and taunted after a performance like that - but not tonight. Everyone was having a good laugh about it really. Everyone just seems to expect it these days.

There's just something strangely amusing about thinking something can not possibly get any worse and then of course it does. Be it 1 Geelong player being the only person in a group of 6 to jump (and comfortably take) a mark. Running in (or taking a set shot) from 50 only to see the ball sail out on the full. Why stop at 50, snaps from 15-30m were miles off the mark.

I'm not sure what's come first here, chicken or the egg scenario. My general disinterest for footy or my lack of emotion for yet another poor freo performance. If anyone has found themselves in the same boat, please enlighten me - I never thought i'd ever not care about a result or ever be indifferent about watching any game of footy, let alone the team i support.

good post^^

I know what you mean,although I didnt find it haha funny

Emotionless would describe what I felt watching it. This club has drained every last ounce of passion I had for them

You are me lol. You plucked the words directly from my cranium. After all there is very little you can do except come on here and blow off a bit of steam and get the TV guide out to see what time the soccer is on tonight. Go the Socceroo's ! Lol. I am not in the wifes good books today .

I'm find myself having very little emotion after losses these days. It's like it doesnt seem to bother me as much as it use to.

I look at freo fans i don't even know at the game, ( wanting to let out a little frustration), i walk towards them thinking of something to say, but i find nothing.
As im looking at them, we all shrug our shoulders with a confused and somewhat expected facial expression, and no words to speak of the game.
So i stand there feeling empty inside as im watching many disillusioned fans leaving the ground in droves at 3 qtr time. This is reality.
But it's times like these i see at the game, that are not promising for the club
Don't get me wrong, ill always be a member and support our team.
But we are still riding the roller coaster with frustration and dissapointment.
I'ts time we got off the ride.
If the FFC put as much effort in onfield, as they have offield, i'm sure it would tell a different story.

FFC is successful offield, but for how long?
FFC need to be successful on the field first.
Offield success will follow.

I have to say - I really have not had the enthusiasm for Freo this year. I know it sounds fickle, but after they did nothing in the recruiting/drafting period to try and address what I feel is the main concern (IE. Lack of skilled and intelligent midfielders) I have was resigned to the fact that we are going to be around 7-10 again with no real improvement.

On the upside, this approach has seen me really enjoy wins against the West Coast (Didnt think we would win) and Richmond (Thought we should win on paper but that we might not win on the park).

I have also been pleasantly suprised with the vast improvement of Johnson (Never thought he would shed his fringe player tag) and Peake (Also wrote him off as a fringe player but now is starting to look a 20 possession a game player - which means that given his speed, agility, height and ball carrying ability he is pushing towards the dangerous category if he can get support).

But I think the facts are (And were at the end of last year) that (1) They really need to draft some real midfield talent and (2) They will take time (2-3 years) to develop. I am also starting to worry that by that time, Pav (The guy we have now who is critical to success) might just give up and go play for some other club, in which case we would be back at square one.

All of this just leaves me with this helpless feeling.
