The Vent Thread

[Mazza44]

So ****ing sick of this shit. We have been so irrelevant in the AFL landscape that a club legend has picked Melbourne, the worst team of the last 15 years, over us.

If I see Angus along the boundary line tomorrow it's going to be really ****ing hard to bite my tongue.

Some seriously quality venting going on people!

What a terrible vent that was! You are ruining this thread!

I am one of those that could not give a root and it annoys me.

Got home late, and as I IQ the pre Friday night show, I feel even more sicker than I did before.

So Roos will go to Melbourne and has essentially chosen Melbourne over us. Not that I was interested in Eade but more people are jumping out of the way to coach us than worthwhile candidates are wanting to.

Angus has royally screwed this club like no other in the history of our three merged clubs history and this prick still won't step aside and some of you here will still have us believe that Angus DOES have the club's interests at heart and not his own. What utter bullshit and if this doesn't confirm, then what will.

This prick has stuffed (would have preferred a different word beginning with F) our club like nothing us and to be honest, I'm shattered.

I am really fuming tonight. This whole saga proves what an incompetent lot we are.

Within 10 years we go from being the envy of the competition to an absolute joke.

I am heading down to Geelong tomorrow to support our players but I am really disillusioned with our club at the moment. Sick in the guts in fact.

I want the following question answered by the Board:

Would Voss have been sacked if we knew beforehand that Roos was not prepared to relocate to Brisbane?

This is the pivotal question that sums up the incompetence of Angarse. Just so f*^ing stupid to think that they would give Vossy the boot and not have anybody of substance in the bag. Why, why, why on earth have they done this to our club? For Christ sake Angarse step down on Monday or explain yourself. Vossy looks 10 times better than any of the other muppets out there at the moment.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Wonder what has changed in the past 12 days for Roos. Went from no interest to 50/50 so quickly, not surprised he didn't want to come here after the way we treated Voss

 

[barbobot]

From tonight it's pretty easy to say it was the dumb ass public comments. He was on board until he was mentioned at Vossy's sacking presser, then 3 more times in follow up statements by Angus. Those statements were directly contradicting what Paul was saying at the time so I could see why he would be pissed off! Guy has to GO very quickly.

 

[Gibbo_88]

FFS. This is just embarrassing. Our list has so much potential but things like this just make it harder to get the best coach we can get.

Getting Roos was probably similar to that final play in the Geelong game, needed everything to go our way. Can't help but think had that first press conference been 100% about Voss, not 25% about how hard it was for Angus and 25% on making contact with Roos, then Roos would still be open to the idea of coming to the lions.

[whizkizz]

Slightly different topic.

But damn. If we'd beaten Carlton - had Leuenberger not broken his hand - we'd already be entrenched in the top eight. So close.

And who knows, Vossy may still have been with us

^Oh look at that, I brought the topic back

I'm one that believes we have dodged a bullet. You know the Malcolm Blight/St Kilda kind.
I'm not fussed about Roos, what I dislike is the way this whole shemozzle has been handled. Clearly Angus' handling has created an impression that our club is on the nose run by idiots.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Starting to think it is more than a mere impression Irel :/

Try viagra John ,apparently that helps.

On the nose, Irel.

And all the vents I wanted to vent have already been vented and now I am ventless so all I can do is like vents which is no way as cleansing as venting a good vent so you can all vent off!

 

[Skoob]

Who? Angus Johnson? What number is he?

666....or so I've heard

He's a big fat ZERO

 

[Caiphus]

No vents? You need a fan.

Where's Jorgo?

 

[Apex61]

Lions taking it right up to the Cats.
The Dee's fighting hard for draft pick 1 (again).

Who does Roo's pick.
The Dee'$ !

Well at least we can find out if the magical coach can turn the horse S*** into fertilizer.
Lions are looking fine without Voss at the helm.

Cattle before Coach.

If Roo's signs for 2 Million then his whole LIE its not about the money is a crock of Horse S***.
That is a good thing he can add to the dung heap inside the old water tank.

 

[Haso]

Ouch. That non-call should be the topic of many many segments in footy journalism for the next week.

 

[SizeMatters]

The whole year we have been on the receiving end of pathetic umpiring, but that last call takes the cake. I'm shattered for the boys.

 

[Last of the Roys]

It is clear to me that Angus thought he had Roos. He then convinced the Board of that, which led to the final unaminous vote to not extend Voss's contract.

Angus then handle Vossy's sacking terribly and if Roos was thinking of coming it would have scared him right off. If Roos was never coming, then Angus is incompetent either way.

That is what directly led to the split in the Board - but as has been said before, it was just the trigger. The incompetence of the board and admin has been on display before (not that they haven't tried to do their best - but they are not up to it). Clearly when someone like Lethal lines up against you then you have major problems.

Our Club has been put into a crisis it had no need of entering due to the Voss sacking. It is now time for new leadership off field. We have been unbelievably embarrassed by the Voss / Roos saga.

Time for heads to roll! Here comes the Lions revolution!!!

 

[lionshine]

Mcburney. That is all.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Merrett's call against Port Adelaide.

That bloody bounce that didn't get called back against Adelaide.

And now this, Screw you umpires in general for the season of 2013.

 

[scottywiper]

Hard luck guys...good for my boys...but that was a shocking call by McBurney.
Chapman dived on it and then dragged it back in.
You have every right to be livid IMO.
