Preview Round 3: Changes/prematch discussion vs Hawthorn

[pupstar]

In 40+ years of playing and watching sport, this is the first time ever I will be more happy if my team loses, than if we win.

I think its time you give it away completely then. Go and find a nice dark corner and have a sulk while us true supporters tough it out.

Technically it's Saturday...

[The acurate one]

Think of the positives, we will at least get the #1 pick in the mid season draft before Scott invariably wins 4 of the last 5 to save his job and **** our draft position.

Yeah had a look at that, luckily i think 4 of our last six should be against teams in the eight, so no such luck for Brad. Also interestingly rd 6 - rd 15 will see us play Tigers, Pies, WCE ( Away) Geelong, Port ( away) Suns ( away) Bullies, GWS, Swans and Blues, could be enough in that lot to finish him I'd suggest.

Your blind faith makes you sound like an Essendon* supporter.

You need to go live in North Korea, you’d fit right in.

And your negativity is boring and tiresome .Always the glass half empty kind of twit.

I don't get this no unforced changes policy. It's not as though we're poised to win a premiership and he's digging in with tried and true champions who are going through a tough trot. Hello - we've finished 9th, 15th and 8th in the last 3 years .IMO 9th flattered us last year. If you adjust the ladder based on each team playing each other once, which is a truer indicator of where teams are at, we would have finished 12th. It's insanity to rely on a cluster of players who have peaked and can't lift you to the next level. Our list is actually much better than Brad's team reflects.

A 50% percent win loss is a glass half empty. But the fact we are currently sitting bottom of the ladder then our glass is completely empty.

I’ll be happy if we win, but for the future success of this club I’ll be more happy if we lose

Attitudes like this are the reason I barely read or post here anymore. I go away for a week, before, during and after the last game and check back in here to find dozens of posts like this. I used to be able to ignore it, but no longer. I think it's worse than it's ever been.

 

[wazza03]

Pfft, you have no inside info.

The fact that I know Ahern and his Manager will be meeting Scott this week is inside enough

I should change my attitude? What, I should be positive because we’re sitting on the bottom of the ladder?
* me, accepting mediocrity has gone to a whole new level.

 

[Mav]

Yep, and hence my frustration and disappointment at the club. We are better off losing this game than winning.

Just this week or thereafter, up to the Bye, Rd 20...wat exactly are you thinking will happen come Monday if we lose?

Nothing

Nothing will change if we maintain the current path. Nothing.

We are going to continue to slowly die..........................but hey.........................at least we don't support poker machines.

And here’s the rub hey

Are you prepared to have Seasons like Carlton’s where we flounder with youth at the bottom or the Scotts path?

Now reading the meltdowns this past two weeks closely, I would say that 3 or 4 years down 16-18th would see this Club pack it in.

That has been the unwritten culture since Carey packed his bags

A rebuild for our club equals death

There’s a mean spiritedness now spewing over from the frustration

Once coming here was shits and giggles (outside of the Gold Coast era), and now we seem to be mimicking the rest of the world on Social Media by seeing who can make the most outlandish comment

We need to calm the farm

The days of blaming S.Watt for everything seem so distant..,

Who’s his Manager Wazz?

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Pick 1
He’ll just be turned into a vanilla role player just like the majority of our first round picks. We might see LDU play Marleys role with the addition of Dumont.

Nothing

The coach will be forced to do something different

I don’t think win or lose he or the Club has it in it...

Yep you're certainly subscribing to the adage that you'd rather live on your knees than die on your feet. Your view is exactly what's gripped the place for the last 10 years. This mid tier stuff is a death by a thousand cuts. The Carlton comparison doesn't cut it. We have seasoned hardened performers such as Ziebell, Cunnington, Higgins, Brown, Tarrant. Carlton don't go close on that front. With the addition of Polec, Hall and Pittard to that group we can afford to put games into our younger talent without the arse falling out as you suggest.

We’re in a sad state of affairs. I warned you long long ago.

 

[Cool Kangas]

I agree with you Gaso. That’s the prob with the Roos. We’re not big enough to sustain periods of being really bad for too long.

 

[Gasometer]

What when Duff was in charge? I could go back to 2006 and not much has changed. See post 1073.

My position re Scotts has always been to not sack during season.

 

[domiroo]

So Anderson and Ahern are available but this arse hat coach won’t bring them in he leaves Simpkin Macmillan and Luke MacDonald WTF is this idiot up to can North move him on now . Also his press conference are becoming more Micalia Cash type stuff ..
