jazza 1,323 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Where on earth do you get the idea we are doing it properly? fitness base has been instigated at a rate of every other club , of which we were 3 years behind got 4 hard bodied players to cover gaps until junior softer boys from draft can put on muscle and play against men in ressies for the first time in thier careers .no more throwing them to the wolves has accepted we may lose games but will not relent on certain issues with players fd has been trying to get out of ceo overshadow for 18 months maybe new ceo has aluded to this already recruitment has been talked about for 18 months and now the fd gets a clear call at the player required Quote

The current course IMO is simply not working I see not one improvement since the end of 2011. The scoreboard is the only honest thing in the AFL 1 Quote

But there is no denying the spot we currently find ourselves in at present. From 2011we have been progressively worse each year we must be on the longest J curve in history. I don't doubt it is going to take a long time to cure our current position but doing nothing is not a course we can take between now and the end of 2013. Members, supporters and Sponsers must have some sense of hope for the 2014 year. Right now there is none Quote

Members, supporters and Sponsers must have some sense of hope for the 2014 year. Right now there is none thats the panic button mate. this spot came from many poor decisions, the main ones were the last 6 games 2011 a decision was made to bring our fitness levels up to standard. this was a fd primary goal. its being achieved dont expose young players to gorillas and break thier mental spirit, this is being achieved. re 4 hard bodied older recruits i would say 2011 was worse and the members sponsors were got back with the rebuild promise ive seen the team this year try corridor footy and fail. then change to boundry. believe me this change during a game is hard to switch for any team, but weve done twice. lost but we done it. thats a good achievment for a footy team. younger recruits learning thier trade in the ressies and building up bigger frames . this is a terrific implementation of short term loss, long term gain. the murdering of the ball coming off half back will be sorted out when you have clark dawes , they HOLD the ball well in the f/line and give players something confident to kick to. see how the team will look when clark. watts, jamar trenners and grimes are back. you will be much more supportive and look forward to matches remember big fella its not all doom and gloom. promise ya get on board and enjoy the swings , theres nothing else you can do Quote

Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 sacrilege, redleg you just need to change your banana cake supplier Perhaps the bananas got done for peptide abuse and were banned for two years? Otherwise, the sky really is falling ... Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Good to hear you are back in form, Redleg. Now if only our team could regain theirs'. Quote
Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Now if only our team could regain theirs'. Get some bananas into them before the game to fire them up, perhaps? Knowing our lot, they will probably come out and play like B1, B2 and the Rat in a Hat Quote
old dee 24,083 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Now if only our team could regain theirs'. That suggests they had some at some point in the last two years to find Redleg Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 Having just read some of the other threads on Demonland, I am extremely grateful that this one has not descended to the nastiness of a few of the others. There is still a place for a laugh and a discussion on football and our club without being attacked. 1 Quote

There is still a place for a laugh and a discussion on football and our club without being attacked. Spot on RedlegI don' want to appear a smart arse but i have just got home after a great 24 hours. Baby sitting overnight my two and half year grand daughter never ceases to bring a smile to my face. Then off to see Uni Blacks play De la salle in the top of the ladder clash. Blacks won by 11 points, close game and by Amos standards a good one. Nice to go to a football match were I have the belief that my team has a good chance of winning. My wife and I had a good day meeting a couple of friends, couple of drinks in Carlton on the way home. On the way home she said to me "nice to go to a games and enjoy yourself!" Next comment was are you going to another dees game this year? Hmm very good question Edited May 18, 2013 by old dee Quote
