You'd almost think from that letter he's reading TC. I'm glad for the update, and it's nice to hear things are moving.

He used the word rebuild. That's massive in itself for this club.

Hope he doesn't get reprimanded for it.

They always talk about a rebuild

Can he define it?

When was the last time you did anything to help the club that gives you the right to be infuriated Synners?


Like buying a membership.

They talk about regeneration, refreshing etc (all of which are a cop out and a load of bull) - never ever rebuild.

probably done my fair share... and sorry i dont give money to @#$%&! idiots... its like if u asked me for money.. id say piss off...
doesnt mean u dont infuriate me....

remember.. members money went on paying out ratts hughes.. rogers.. pagan.. and arizona...

they only get money when they prove they know what theyre doing...

pratt didnt give smorgon money.. yet people idolise him

pratt sent the wrong mesage to the club... oligarchical ownerships and laziness... and cronyism...
yes but there was hope....

now getting back to triggs letter.. it all seems abit knee jerk doesnt it??

were effectively putting the cart before the mule here....

why would a club say this year is done and dusted and were out of the running after 2 rounds???

well the answer is simple.. theyre beating everybody to the punch and telling us its crap.. and thyre working on it.. they have a plan.

they have just done a casboult.. and deflated the pressure...

dont look at us.. were rebuilding.......

thats what theyre saying

so why say that??

to deflect criticism and pressure

this is a weird time to be waving the flag... any player with a contract end f year should get out...

..hard to say, harder to do.... ..lets see if they've got the stomach to stay the course..

..if you can't be good, be good at it..

this is not the time for that message... its round 2 in a 22 round season....

and they were promising us much more... did it take them 2 rounds to get it??

of course not... its a pressure release valve theyre activating...

but the message to the players is .. this season is shot....

..the playing group has been getting the same message from the club for a decade..

..''don't worry, don't stress, we'll somehow fix it for you''..

theyre going to sell us hope again... not "can do"

just wait... youll see.. we will get it right.....dont get anxious

considering its the same board that was in charge for the last rebuild they shiuld commit mass Seppuku... that would be the correct action for this board to take...

Yep spot on, announce it now why? That means they have wrote off this season already (not that we have any chance anyway).

Who wants to go an watch us now. I no I don't for the first time in over 30 years.

Our players will be shitting themselves and go further in their shells.

So unprofessional this club.

the playing group have in effect just been told theyre in the same position as riewoldt.... were not playing for finals.. were doing a rebuild...

except nick played in finals.. and prelims and grandfinals for most of his career...

simmo and walkz have known nothing but shyte with this club... and now its time for them to be part of a rebuild.. murphy and gibbs will be around 30 ....

ridiculous...

get the samurai swords out and the bowls you weak flower!!!
