I bloody hope AB gets a run.

 

[Hu$$ey]

Where are the kids?

Getting ready for next year i suppose

 

[stokesy]

Where are the kids?

... Playing football for a winning side. Gaining confidence. Growing by every minute of VFL football. Learning the game. Singing a song after every match. Getting a kick. Winning.

Brilliant,
Brisbane Lions lose their first 4 at home, Matthews plays the kids, and bang 12 weeks later, experience gained, confidence, and making the experienced ones that missed out on games more hungry. Took 'em 3 months to rebuild that team.

And now us, without doubt the most UNACCOUNTABLE team in the competition, that play the softest game going around, with a revolving door policy with same old same olds, who know that within 2 weeks of being dropped they are back in. No chance to test any draft picks.

A used car salesman telling me about lights and tunnels,
and a team that gets pummelled every week,
with no pride in its performance.

All i hear about us at the moment is senior players asking for more money.
No one in the media going after this team, that has lost 11 on the trot only Sheahan saying they are sour. That is it.

Gimmee a break.

Cant wait for the season to end, the team they anounce each week is getting worse and worse.

According to you we have a soft, unaccountable team with poor leadership and no pride in it's performance. How is it going to help the kids development by introducing them into this environment?

They are already in this environment

 

[sikth]

They are already in this environment

Our kids are playing for the Bullants which is not the same environment. They are on top of the ladder and making a significant contribution to the team unlike in the seniors where they'd have limited game time and be part of a losing team.

Put it this way, after 2 years with second handers i think most of us have a fair idea who is to go.
Our draft picks Hartlett, Russell were playing senior football in the SANFL last year, though Hartlett was injured early this year,
playing VFL is about the same.
I really get jack of seeing the same players in and out every second week.
It's fairly obvious these guys are not up to it, (though who knows, we may get a Liston medallist out of all this)
There is a month to go in this godawful season, lets give some of these blokes a taste now, even off the bench.
If it gets to this time next year and these draft picks aren't up to it,
and we have had a cleanout this year, then this club has gone nowhere.
These guys are picked because of their football ability and as such, let's see what they can do.
If the best we can do for Round 18 is Prendegasts and Morrells coming in, then i get pessimistic.
