i think we need to change 1 our game plan for 2018,and 2 need to add a couple of line breakers into the side , 3 add some speed this wat i see as our promblem. Our currant get ball either from defence or wings or when we go forward and do the long bomb we are going no where.

from Marc Smurf 3 on BF;
Gibbs more likely to stay and looking for another property in Carlton
Kelly will either play for Carlton or GWS. We are seen as the club with the highest ceiling and able to compensate GWS most.
At this stage Hopper leaving GWS but to an unknown Victorian club.

Simmo at 32 will do that to us every time he plays.

Rowe and Thomas are next at 29...not long to go for them too

Then there's Armfield and White....it was the right thing to do playing last week in WA, and White plugs holes till...next year.

So, what happened in the other 50% of games? did we win a few when we were younger? Did we get close? Did we show signs?

I like your spirit Sydney, but you sound like the media to me.
Like Accountants, they make figures say what they want.

What they don't tell you is we all wanted to strip back the club and rebuild it off field and on field.
That is going backwards before going forwards. How would you explain that to a kid looking at the ladder?
My 9yo understands it. My 13yo is sick of the false dawns.

Nobody is saying that.

What the club is saying is that the win/loss ratio is not the ONLY measure for us at the moment. We have failed against that performance measure in 2017, that is undeniable. But the big picture is about building a club which will become a genuine premiership contender. Are we doing that? We'll have a better idea this time next year. Personally, I have seen enough this year to be cautiously optimistic that we're on the right track to achieve long term success.

A great example of a club who rebuilt itself properly and won a flag as a result.

I'd much rather the club's leaders be talking about building to a flag than just consistently making finals just to keep everyone happy ala Richmond.

Almost everybody agrees with that. Unfortunately SB is too blind/cynical/jaded/blind to see it. We all feel sorry for him/her.

I'm nobody's bitch.
People have been saying that about me on here for years Crippa.
Unfortunately in most instances I turn out to right.
Don't know if you were around day 1 when I took a set to Pagan. Then Malthouse.
Most thought I was a looney

Pagan and Malthouse were very low hanging fruit. Love your passion for our club.

Not sure of the relevance of the "I'm nobody's bitch" comment but can confirm I mean you no distrespect.

I've been on here for about 9 years. Under a different name until I forgot the password in 2015 and had trouble resetting it so just made a new name.

You were far from along bashing Pagan and Malthouse......but you are certainly in the minority now. Doesn't make you wrong of course. Maybe one day all the flat earthers will laugh in the face of people who believe the earth is a globe.

Like many I still honestly love your passion.

Pair of old raisins those two.

nice article in the herald sun today about the stats that show we are heading in the right direction, sorry i can't upload it but it explores more into the way we have lost rather than just our win/loss ratio
interesting facts about our players used, experience, rising star nominations, even points for and quarters won was a healthy surprise
previously (rightly or wrongly) we were being sold success so we came to expect even demand it, now unlike our previous accomplishments we are of an understanding that we need to build to that success so a bit more patience and growth needs to be established for that to be achieved

But da meedya sed we're going nowhere and should sakc the coach????

when people claim they are right once and so will be right again, I remember the old rule - show us your working out - it's not the right or wrong that matters - guesses can hit the mark (Chimps, typewriters and all that), it's the reasoning behind the answer that matters.

My biggest concern is that the Club tries to do the rebuild too quickly. When they announced a 66 game 'reset' when Bolton was appointed, I thought they were being too optimistic. 4-5 years seemed more realistic given where we were coming from.

This is year 2 of 3 years. I'd much rather them take an extra year or two and do it right, than trying to get the bulk of it done this year and next and falling short.

Ask yourself this question we play Hawks tomorrow night.
For the long term developed of these players and playing group what would be more beneficial.
Another honorable loss and pick 1 in the National draft or
A win over a side we have not beaten in 12 years and pick 2 or 3.
7 games we have been in front in the last quarter and lost.
If you look at the overall stats apart from uncontested footy we match it in almost every aspect.
They don't know how to win and they are told winning doesnt matter.
Learning to win is the most important thing this playing group needs
