I believe there are 3 Major Reasons why we are not winning games and not where we were hoping to be:


1- Too early for the young players to win Games: Our Young Players & the future of the club need 4-5 years in the system to start delivering consistency and winnable games. Those players include: Dow, Walsh, Cunningham, SPS, Fisher, O'Brien, Stocker, Curnow, McKay, Schumacher, Kerr & Polson.

2- Terrible Recruitment: We have recruited players who are not even worthy of a game VFL level, yet we have been forced to play them, hoping they can support the young ones whilst they develop. SOS has to take responsibility for the dismal and appalling recruiting of the following players:

** Alex Fosolo: What the hell were they thinking in recruiting a guy who is clearly past it? Collingwood dumped him to the VFL because they knew he was expired. He is injury prone and overweight, and looks way past it

** Darcy Lang: The Worst recruit ever. We got him based on One good game he played for Geelong. Nothing else.... Big body but does nothing with it. Terrible kicking and turnover king. Worst recruit ever

** Mathew Kennedy: We really were cheated with this Guy. No wonder GWS gave him away so easily. Same story as Lang. He is a regular injury prone player and when he is on the park, does nothing to support Cripps.

** J. Silvagni: I am sorry SOS but you need to get your sons away from our Club. They are useless as hell. Too slow, too predictable, no forward pressure and simply not up to AFL Standards

** Newman: Whilst he has been going OK in replacing the injured Doherty, we are now begging to see why Sydney were happy to let him go. He is a turnover King. Today, he killed us. Last week he killed us. Not good enough

** H.Macreadie: Injury prone, too skinny, too weak, and not even VFL Standards. What the hell were we thinking in recruiting him?

** Williamson: Rubbish....... Injury prone and is never going to make it........ We got cheated again

** Pickett: Was supposed to be the new Eddie Betts. No where near it.... Again, injury prone and has done nothing at the club so far....

** Lobe & Phillips: Average Ruckmen who will never be selected at any other AFL Club but Carlton. If Kreuzer goes down, We are shot to pieces.

** McGovern: I have said it from day one.... He is Rubbish....A Cameo player who will give you the mark of the year or give you one good game in a while, but he is not consistent, and Injuries will be his thing.

** Garlett: Rubbish pick.... Waste of time

** Add to that the aging of our senior players who can no longer be counted on to deliver: Murphy, Daisy, Simpson & Kreuzer.


3- The GWS Experiment: The Biggest Scam of SOS's venture at our Club. We all got cheated. We all got robbed. We all know by now that getting recycled players from GWS was not the answer. Players like Marchbank and Plowman are decent average footballers who will give it all, but they are not what we were looking for. We needed A Grade players to deliver weekly.

He was going ok until he got to Williamson and Pickett. A player being 'injury prone' at AFL level is not necessarily the recruiters fault.
