How low can we go?

Four years on, two consecutive wooden spoons and all but a 100 point loss in the last game of the year.

Our last remaining premiership player to stand down as captain and no genuine alternative to replace him.

Our best player for the year benched because of poor team discipline. He can't be captain.

And then we start looking at things off the field.

This sucks! :cry:

We need a revitalised and imaginative board to take this @#$%&! club by the scruff of it's neck and drag it's arse out of the red. We need to start leading the way off the field. Innovation. Imagination. Belief. These things are lacking as much in our off field leaders as they are with the footy department.

We need a new coach able to breath new life into our existing players and willing to adapt and learn to modern day football. Someone willing, ready and able to lead us out of the quagmire in a positive frame of mind.

We need more new talent than we can ever imagine. We need someone to lead our players into a new era.

We need hope. Right now, we don't even have that!

Absolutely right camel.

Today's game reminded me of Rd 22 2003 when we were pumped by the Kangas. Sadly we haven't seemed to have made up any ground since then. Pagan must go. Enoughs enough. :evil:

I think you need to follow some of your own advice Liam.

It's a bit raw for everyone at the moment, but you're right that change is needed somewhere, even if only to get the ball rolling.

There's a lot of people who can give a lot to this club, and they're hanging back at the moment because they have their own agendas.

So to those people - If you truly loved the club and didn't just want to sit pretty atop a champion team, you'd have pulled your finger out of your ass by now and done something about the situation we're in.

Approach the board - forget about this political back-stabbing crap - and discuss the options. The board positions don't provide those in them any financial incentive, so it's not like they're not going to stand aside if there's someone better.

Cue Synbad screaming how they won't budge. What a load of crap. They're knee deep in the crap trying to help how they can, even if they don't know how to get the job done.

Honestly.............

i've already forgotten about what's happened this year........
yup.....done......!

i cannot begin to tell yas though.......how excited i am about
next year.........so....SO excited...........!

it's easy to be all doom and gloom now..........real easy.....
but next year's going to rip everyone a new one......i'm not talking
final 8........i'm just talking excitment.........!

i'll leave it to someone else to put together......but we have some
kids that are KILLA........we can all see that surely........?

lets take a breather now........relax.....kick back and
see what our club has in store for us over the next three months......
then a couple of stretches.......a star jump or two.......
and we're back again.........!

kindest regards tommi

Last game of the year, players thought it was mad Sunday.
I wouldn't worry about it, allot of players were asleep today and couldn't wait until the game was over.

We can stick the 3 wooden spoons together and make a limbo stick and sing "how low can we go, how low can we go"

Yep. It's not a true reflection IMO.

The true reflection was or competitive games throughout the whole season. We did fairly well in quite a few games.

It is such a contrast seeing the Swans with their old heads, such a mature, composed and skillful group, add to that how knuckled down they'd be for a shot at the flag...It's really not the game that made me throw something at the T.V. ....Eagles did the same thing to Richmond.
