i get your drift Marlin..can see where youre coming from.. i tried keeping a list of all the players and people that should be sacked,it was futile in the end, but trust me on this - if we had of sacked everyone that was nominated here on BF, we'd only have nick natanui standing on the oval with the club mascot,the tea lady,and some old geezer cutting up orange slices...
it got quite silly at one stage not long ago...
ive given this a lot of thought, and it finally dawned on me that most of the panicbutton-patsys,are probably quite young..whereas the 'relax and give it time' crew are probably much older..and therein lies the problem..
for the younger ones, time drags really slowly..remember how long it took for xmas to came around..well,a footy season is a long time..a preseason is a long time..its a long time to wait, for 2-3 years to be a competitive team again..so they want things done now..out with the old,bring in the new,sack people,shake it up,lets see something happen,where are the stars,we want magic,and we want it now!! etc...
for the older crew amongst us..time flies by, the seasons over before we know it, weve hardly had time to get bored in the offseason before preseason is upon us again,with new draft picks and rookie elevations,trades,retirements etc,a couple of years have flashed by, the teams young uns' got 70+games under its belt,and its all coming together,winning more and more games,we're back in finals,and can hardly remember the bad times,its all on the up+up..
its all about time..and how it passes..the young and the old - we're like two different stars orbiting each other in the same footy cosmos, but revolving at different speeds...
