we wont be successful again until all those players and people who were at the club when we tanked have moved on .
oh rubbish... !!!... the culture is a losing culture because the club is !@#$%&!!!
nothing to do with not winning 2 extra games.. after we won wooden spoons when we wernt tanking ... AND PAYING OVER THE SALARY CAP ... WINNING SPOONS!!
the culture is shit because the people that mae up the culture are shit...!!!
You see... if we were run properly we wouldnt have crashed to nothingness.. paid over the odds .. salary cap cheated.. and won flags... we would have managed a ist properly before the tanking...
you dont get it do you??
this club has been in decline from probably 1990 and has never recovered.
Sure we won a flag on the back of form 4 picks from the mid 1980s .. and topped up with guys like G Wiliams.. who we poached .. after getting rid of him in the first place....
but our problems didnt start 2004 or even 2002...
only dummies think that,,,!!!
How did we have a winning culture AND be in a position to tank??...
Do you guys have a brain???.. i think im going to get a !@#$%& big needle and some of that pigs brain plasma for the idiotic stuff people sprook on here...and begin my own off site clinic... with pharaceutical experimental shit...!!!
Get in the que behind Surrey... and if you wanna know how youre wrong on this.. Surrey is right behnd you!!!.... you have to be wrong...!!!
now sign the !@#$%& waiver.. and be quiet!!!... youre getting pigs plasma for clear thinking.. and ill ask Dank what else he has in that fridge...!!!
i seriously cant believe how ridiculous some people are.
If you wanna know whats wrong.. look at your board
the way I look at it there has been 2 sides that have gone out of their way to tank and both are basket cases
I said it then and I say it now it was the wrong message to send to the playing group it said that winning doesn't matter - Even now people are suggesting we should have shut up shop and rebuild the list
The coach is even saying he has to go to the draft indicating that it doesn't really matter what the results are
to be successful you need a must win at all cost culture we still don't have it because the people around the club feel that its ok to lose because your draft picks become better - so do supporters
Well what have all those early draft picks achieved - zilch
you ask what winning those extra few games could of got us
well
Thomas instead of Murphy
Pendlebury instead of Kennedy
Selwood instead of Gibbs
Cotchin instead of Kruezer
Tippett instead of Hampson
tanking proves nothing and improving one place in the draft does nothing
How many games did we tank? We might have only had one of those first two picks if we didn't.
There's no guarantee who we would have taken if circumstances were different but we could have selected Pendlebury
Kennedy if we had the guts to go against the 'safe' option.
