If you are that passionate pen your negative thoughts and send them to the club, as most posters don't need to read your crap. Don't slag the club off in what is now a very public forum. We are going into a transitional season, and negativity is not what is required.
We will be fine. First six weeks may be a touch bumpy, as we gel, get a few key players on the park and have a number of difficult matches. After that it should be all good, going deeper into the finals than last year.
GO BLUES!

I feel very frustrated and disappointed to be honest.
The handling of the Fevola debacle was very unprofessional IMO. It became a media circus and was the start of a smear campaign that only grew even bigger thanks to childish acts from so called professional footballers.
Then Trade week comes along and whilst the club had to make a stand on Fev, Brisbane at this stage "owned" us with the deal they got. I know its early and perhaps we won't really know the value Henderson and Lucas will bring for a few years, but on face value we were short changed.
To ad insult to injury, the draft whilst being a supposedly weak one saw some reaching from our recruiter. Lucas aside the other players chosen at this stage seem projects at best. I hope I am proved wrong though...
Then the club comes out with the new slogan, something about cooking. I know they wanted to be bold and different, but geez, it added more fuel to an already overwhelming media fire.
Then after supposedly showing the strength to set up a "strong" culture, with the trading of Fev, a handful or so of players decide to slap the club and its path of change in the face with childish acts. Not that the media needed anymore reason to continue their slamming of the club, this provided bonus material to report on during a generally slow AFL news period. The Club also, shows minimal professionalism to act appropriately and with conviction, deciding that they could wait a few days before working out a punishment.
So given what has happened in the lead up to this season, I am struggling to get excited at this point. Maybe after I go and watch the boys play in the NAB cup at Blacktown my demeanor will improve, but for now I feel like the club is treading water a bit....
^infinity.If push came to shove, everyone would have been happy to take Bradshaw and Rischitelli in the last hour of trade week. Yet they gave us a ten year power KPP like Kennedy and their first pick in the draft for Fev and pick 27.
A KPP who lined up on Roughead and Franklin last year.
If pick 12 was a KPP, the rating of that trade would have been rated weighted heavily in our favour.
Lucas is just another midfielder.
Who were the players our recruiter reached for if Jessie Smith was there at pick 60?
We have two recruiters.
TC should have a WOW award for the wowser of the week.
1. Since when is Henderson a KPP like Kennedy?? LOL!!
2. I already identified the fact the club had to cut FEV, and yet their lack of planning for suitable replacements (ie he should have been traded in seasons well prior to the idiocy of Brownlow night) meant they had no choice but to get minimal value for a player like Fev.
3. I am no recruiter, but given the state of the draft, and the forced cutting of Fev, we got one midfielder who is supposed to be class. There were no KPP taken, no planning for the future. Maybe there was no suitable KPP left, however the fact is the clubs lack of action in prior drafts to have a mentor to Fev, meant this draft was again not going to help in KPP stocks.
3. No we didn't have to be "happy to accept Bradshaw and Risky in a trade". Fact is the club has handled their management of Fevola poorly for a number of years, which in turn had a significant impact to hes value in a forced trade...
4. If you don't like me being upset and disappointed in what is clearly a Club treading in water at the moment then
to you too
