So the Richmond and GWS games mean nothing?I hope they belt us and ensure the club has to sack him
Another false dawn mate. We are s**t houseSo the Richmond and GWS games mean nothing?
Sorry but NoSo the Richmond and GWS games mean nothing?
*snap*Another false dawn mate. We are sh*t house
I for one have always backed Dew, purely because I feel the club can't afford another reset of operations, players or staff without significant long term damage to the brand and growing supporter base. However the only exception to that theory would be Alistar Clarkson taking the reins. Now that this is a possibility I feel Dew is coaching for his career this week.Cmon guys! I’m really disappointed in the lack of faith from you guys and how you’ve turned so quickly. People are incredibly harsh. Sometimes I think people are wanting us to lose so Dew can go. I’m for one not that person. That isn’t the right attitude to be having.
We know history with young sides. They can be inconsistent. The past month of footy has been pretty solid imo. We were due to have a shocker. Melbourne are a quality side and deserve to be a contender for the premiership. Usually in back ends of the year we really drop and to be frank this year we haven’t dropped off to bad in the second half of the year. That’s improvement and something we should be proud of. Those Richmond and GWS games HAVE to count for something. They were club defining. They were games we showed the AFL we could match it with final contender sides. Even the Dogs game a few weeks ago we were competitive and the Lions last week we blitzed them in the first half! Cmon guys we gotta be positive! The boys feed off the faith and positivity from our supporters!
I've had the same feelings re Dew- another reset isn't what we need...but can we go into a fifth year of Dew getting whacked by 100 points?I for one have always backed Dew, purely because I feel the club can't afford another reset of operations, players or staff without significant long term damage to the brand and growing supporter base.

Apparently not according to some of the vocal posters in here.So the Richmond and GWS games mean nothing?
Richmond lost by 120 points in the final round of 2016, the following year they won the flag. Things can turn quick, stick fat

The main concern is most of these players are now 3+ years with Dew - yet we still have absolutely no idea how to stem any bleeding when put to the sword.I've had the same feelings re Dew- another reset isn't what we need...but can we go into a fifth year of Dew getting whacked by 100 points?
If a senior experienced winning coach like Clarkson or Roos put up their hand that's different
We're in a tight corner
The best outcome would be for the team to start winning-but we've been saying that for 12 years
Many of us have been on the Suns since the 2008 GC17 days, years of false dawns and empty promises has understandable made some of us long timers jaded. I think the “attitude “ as you put it is 100% justifiedCmon guys! I’m really disappointed in the lack of faith from you guys and how you’ve turned so quickly. People are incredibly harsh.

9 was the goal for me. 6 just isn't enough when we won 5 last year in a reduced season.What was people's expectations for this year in terms of wins? 6-7? That's what it could likely end up. Two blowouts hasn't been great (three I suppose if you include the dogs game earlier in the year) though I thought it had been a mostly posituve year. But they need to find consistency, with young group its not always easy.
But no doubt they need to respond this week. Need to earn back some respect.
Yep he has to go, have defended him in past but the shine is gone.Given our position on the ladder, who we have to play and the improving form of NM, Hawks and Adelaide on same points as us....we could conceivably finish 17 or even 18 at end of year. No way Dew survives that.
