Jesus, post 166 makes a hell of a lot of sense.

And still rings so true today..... visionary!

*Bump*

Yeah lets get Roos and turn the fastest list in the comp into the slowest.

The reason I bumped this is that now that the gloss has been well and trully blasted off the Golden Boy, I wonder how many bombers fans would be starting to wonder what if any improvement the change in coach has achieved and if they are not now destined for another rebuild that sets them back another couple of years at the bottom to achieve and if they are not looking eerily like the other team that wears a sash over a black background.

Our boards strength in resisting the calls for Ratts last year have already been vindicated. Changing coach on a building team results in a start over.

And where is TheHeatleyStand and Big Red is Back to argue their case now? Or at least to admit they were wrong.

Leave the bumping for the Carlton haters.

Lock this baby down.

I couldn't agree more than having posted a similar post back in the early rounds when we were criticised for drawing with Essendon. .. From the other sack Ratten post. ..

However even if we do struggle in the next few games. .. dumping the coach for a better replacement will not guarantee faster success. .. With sacking a coach generally comes a form of rebuild of the clubs resources and is generally initially destabilising. .. Its not a decision to be taken lightly and rushed into. .. If the club is serious about reaching for success they will properly assess this season at the appropriate time and make a studied decision. .. In all likelihood this will be toward or at season's end. .. unless something diabolical is on the horizon. ..

So some here need to calm down, open the other eye. .. You are free to criticise and make comment, debate is healthy. .. don't have a dummy spit because the club has made the decision to back the coach in. .. Stop telling us the air above is descending down upon us all. .. Most of us will see it coming when it does. ..

The media jumped on Essendon in droves - the real deal, a definite for top 4, a brilliant turnaround of basically the same list as previous years. Mmmm....
