Toast The Steves

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

The Steves need neither be all perfect or all evil. All their actions should be looked at dispassionately.

You see, I still hate the manner in which they changed our colours and symbols. And the inconsistent way they changed that without any member input, then patted themselves on the back for giving us a vote on the song?!?!!?!

Yet I was greatly impressed by the Lyon coup. It's the strongest most decisive move we've ever made. A brilliant manoeuvre that paid dividends within months IMHO.

The one move they can legitimately be lauded for, and yet I have this feeling that the mastermind of that move was Lyon himself.

I could well be wrong, but I thought that Lyon himself said that he was initially approached by Harris in an unofficial capacity.

Just a friendly chat over coffee kind of thing. You know the drill.;)

My recollection is that it was an informal chat situation too, following a casual comment from Ross about his contractual situation at St Kilda. Ross strikes me as the kind of person that doesn't just allow happenstance to control his destiny.

And we were on the front foot:thumbsu:

Plenty of other clubs would have loved to have grabbed his services.

BTW Reggie. I am living in the land of shiny, nice trinkets.

Would you like me to get you made up some nice purple ones?

Would they glow in the dark?

The club is the one that needs to source from a decent supplier, not me.

Have you had time to try out an oxygen bar yet? Do they still have those?

No time yet.

But it goes against my grain.

There is a multitude of people who really should pay for their oxygen.....permanently!!!

not you baby.
 
For all those who are members, the club has sent out emails for their annual survey. If enough people voice their opinion about keeping the club in Freo, the Steve's might have to listen. (Hopefully)

What about if they would prefer the club get the best facilities no matter where they are?

Ha, ha. Good luck with that.

Then the club would be based overseas.

Bout as much luck as getting Reggie to listen ;)

Oh, I listen. I just haven't heard anybody with a convincing argument yet.

What is it you want me to listen to?

It's quite popular at the moment - and is repeated about as often as your arguments :P
 
How about a vote for changing our lame song.....oh wait :oops:

As much as I like the Steves that was a massive waste of time, we should have just kept the original. Current one just cut out the best bits of the old one yet kept the guitar solo and crappy lyrics :(

That's awesome. I could listen to it all day.
 
I watched Peter Jackson (Melbourne Interim CEO) on On the Couch and it got me thinking about the change of administration for Freo.

Jackson said that when he walked into Melbourne, they operated like a football club, not a professional sporting organisation.

Freo lost/ditched Schwab and Rick Hart (no offense to Hart, who was a faithful President) and brought in Harris and Rosich who have basically transformed our club. Brought in Lyon, hired Leading Teams, changed the guernsey, went and got Kirke and Sumich, negotiated new training facilities to built, mostly, with state and federal government money.

Now you might not agree with all those changes but you can't ignore that they appear to be turning our football club into a professional sporting organisation.:thumbsu:
