Please help me.
My brain has failed to distinguish reality from fiction!! Am I in the twilight zone???
Didn’t we play well last week? Unluckily beaten by 11 goals (should’ve been 20!) but in the game to the last gasp!
So we make ONE CHANGE – which was probably very close to “out injured”.
Was dropping Leigh Harding from the week before the cause of an 89 point turnaround???
Before having a crack at me let’s look at the facts.
- This is the same core team that finished 13th last year only ahead of St. Kilda, Freo and West Coast (I think).
- This year we have three wins – an emotional charged victory against Port, and close wins to Bulldogs and Carlton, where both results were in the balance until the last 10 minutes. Port aside we have only beaten the 15th and 16th (injury riddled) side.
- We should’ve beaten Geelong and the Swans – BUT WE DIDN’T.
So after a non-competitive performance we make ONE CHANGE. Our opposition this week has made 6 changes after a 9 goal defeat – 2 of these compulsory.
So the message the club sends to our VFL players is that you are not good enough, so hang around to trading week when we’ll clean you out to reach your full potential at another club.
What a slur to guys like Rod Crowe, Hugh Foott, David Hale, Daniel Harris, Adam Lange, Joe McLaren, Daniel Pratt, Jess Sinclair, Dylan Smith, David Teague and particularly Drew Petrie. They can look forward to playing their guts out and be B.O.G. for many weeks on end, only to be overlooked or, worse, promoted to the seniors to SIT ON THE BENCH for three and a half quarters and then put on in a position totally foreign to them.
Yesterday I was fuming with that fat prick McMahon’s comments. He is still wrong today – we may be dead in 2 Years!!!.
I hope the boys prove me wrong on the weekend but I’ll stand by this.
Give the kids a fair dinkum go to prove if they have it or not.
