Well then, you're not listening to what they are telling us over and over again! Sydney is not the same proposition as Melbourne...

And seriously, NO team plays to win the flag every year imo. That's simply not a serious proposition for any team...

I’m not listening? How would you know Kirky? I’ll tell you what you do know (or should know) as I’ve mentioned many times on here and that is my source at the club, is a sitting Board Member. I will tell you verbatim...’we are here to win flags, the disappointment of last year was unforgiveable’! Now this wasn’t a response to me, it was a response to his best mate and my mutual friend at the MCG in that thriller v Richmond. So please, don’t tell me I’m not listening...I heard it all!

Mick Lethal said during the Lions 3 peat the only time internally they were talking about a chance at a premiership is when they finished top 4, start of the season the aim is to make finals.

I think the expectations have to be continued finals appearances and pushing for a flag by the time his deal runs out. I think that's reasonable. The club has made finals every year under Longmire - probably won't this year but it's reasonable to suggest we expect he make the finals every year from now given the emerging squad we have.

Pushing for the flag I think is reasonable too within the next few years. We've got a good group of young guys who, if fortified by some prime 25-29 year olds in the next two off-seasons (essential imo), could be primed and ready for being a contender.

Brisbane showed that a Northern club with a good group of young players can still go and recruit a big fish (Lachie Neale) in these post-Buddy/COLA times. We've just got to be bold and daring enough to do it.

Well it would seem as though the unforgivable has remarkably been forgiven.

It’s a miracle, really. Jesus must live after all.

I have moved on and accept the clubs decision , maybe you should be happy and stop sledging others that didn't agree. Some of your comments to punts were not on.

I considered his comments not on.

C'mon BfB. You can do better than this. Always respect you, even if I have teased you in the past. (Prolly inappropriately).

You should be happy but recognise others hold another view. Who knows.? You may be proved correct..

In the meantime Punts and others who care about the Club do not deserve ridicule.

No. Punts said the 2016 side choked. That is a disgraceful sledge.

Moreover, for years now I have been receiving private notes especially from (I think) female members of this board thanking me for backing them against the ridicule they have copped for expressing support for the coach. Ridicule delivered by those “with access to the inner sanctum”. And it continues even today. And I’m being asked not to resist that patronising crap?

Garbage.

As to Horse’s fantastic extension. I offered a single comment which was a series of smilies. Aside from that I have responded, as I always do, to comments that have either insulted the playing group or members of this forum.

Ohh too nervous to put some expectations on horse

I'm just not concerned about anything other than club stability & we don't have to worry about that anymore as obviously with Horse signed, it means everyone is on the same page other than the odd disgruntled player & supporter which would happen even with a new coach coming in.

He'll still be our coach, we'll still be Bloods supporters & more than likely we'll still disagree on some stuff.
That's all good isn't it?
