Mr Bods
You are a recent arrival on our board but have taken a near unbeatable lead as poster of the year!
Well played Sir!
I agree, I have had disagreements with Bods but his passion for the club is unquestioned.
Great having a bit of fire and passion on the board.

First 7 minutes of this weeks episode of future stars was with Michael Barlow talking about Rocket, playing footy with Dean Solomon at Freo and how he's changed as a coach at the Suns.

Then skip to 28:50 The boys run through what they think the new coach can look forward to and then they go over our list

We start winning we'll draw decent crowds. Supporters from every team disappear if they're struggling.
Look at Essendon ave 47,000 per home game a few years back, only 33,000 last year when the team needed them most and now back up to 51,000 this year.
I was still one of the 33,000 drongos rocking up every week last year. Like a blind, loyal dog

That's a great insight, finally no bashing of the club and great stuff from Micky Barlow. Signing Lynch is the key. I don't care if we pay him 2 mil a season just as long as he stays and May the year after and we will be in our way

Not many interviews without beating up the Suns, thats was good. May probably only signed a two year deal to see were club is headed and see what Lynch does, best case scenario for this club is to lock both away on long term deals. Hopefully the new coach can turn things around.

982,000 people that don't give a stuff about your club is the problem I think.

More importantly are Ablett and Lynch expected to play this week?

Why do teams agree to play games in Tassie
Empty Stadiums
Freezing Antarctic weather
Still can't get that damn siren to work properly
AFL hand out must be too good to refuse.

Watching Micky Barlow, makes me wish the club had 3 of him from its inception. Talk about the group being mentored by a good leader and he is it. When you look back at what we had you can see why some traits where adopted:

Brown: Arrogant partier
Brennan: Inconsitent with a poor work ethic
GAJ: God like figure who the guys don't really relate too
Nathan: Doesn't even like football

Interesting Mick actually specifically talks about the club as WE, he takes full ownership of being a part of the place and that's not sexy right now, he is a class act
Cant deny getting him, Hanley, Lyons and Witts has been great, just bad luck with Hanley and Micky
Makes me think that we could use another guy like him in Andrew Swallow - another classy leader who has finished off the year better than he started

Don't forget-
Krakouer - Suffering from depression
Bock - could play but a couple dubious off-field incidents including assault and PEDs
campaigner - couldn't play but was a good connection when you needed some coke (Recruited by the AFL)
Harris - well past it by 2011

And while we are at it let's ban the players from talking about their favourite music, beaches and any ideas they have on global warming.
So you happy for the playing group to be divided like it was with Ablett were some of the god squad members refused to talk to other teammates

I usually love eppo's contributions but I'm with u on this one GCSunsfan, religion is a private matter and doesn't belong in teams and workplaces.

No one seems to have an issue with Saady though he's pretty open about it
Exactly but you don't get accused of bigotry when you bag Christianity.
Exactly how did Ablett 'bring' Religion into the workplace.?
Did he go on extended fasts and have to have his training rescheduled around it?
So you are saying 2 blokes (Ablett and Hall) out of a squad 45 odd caused a divide in the team because they are Christians. Interesting?
Gee we must have a lot of mentally weak players if l locker room fell apart because 2 of the team go to Church.
I'm no fan at all of Ablett but his problem is his ego and his selfishness IMO not that he goes to Church occasionally.
BTW you did know Swallow is more active and open about his Christianity than Ablett didn't you.
