Thanks this was my reply
Every team has their ups and downs and at this point in time its our turn. We have had a good record over the last 25 years with Sheedy. Even though we have only won 1 game this year we still have the best win loss record of any other club since Sheeds took over in 1981.True fans will support the club and stick by them while they are on the down fall. Just makes it more of a thrill when we will rise up again. We have the youngest team in the league and we have never had the benefit of recieving a top 4 draft pick. Give us another few years and you will see the baby bombers rise up once more.

As far as I'm concerned, Jobe,the Mon, Kepler, Henry, Lee, Laycock, Licha,
the Lovetts, Johns, Dempsey, are all going to be our future and regardless of form, if fit, they MUST be played.
I hope we will get 3 picks within the top 20 and I hope fervently we choose wisely and well.
It doesn't bother me that we are having such a rough trot this year. It annoyed me far more when for years we'd make the eight and then weren't good enough to seriously challenge the better sides. It seemed to me at that time it was more about keeping Sheedy's record in tact than actually biting the bullet, getting rid of the also rans and blooding young players.Barnsey3150 said:
