Training - Saturday, 30th March, 2013

Recommended Posts

I dis-agree, they will continue to keep their jobs.

I cannot see an end to this for a long long time sadly :(

Hell, we even have volunteers walking away ffs. I mean if something going on is pissing off volunteers then imagine how everyone else is feeling.

I'm walking away because I want to spend time with my family and I've given the club everything I've got, personally I'm not getting any free time, working away for 7 days then spending 6 days on break trying to get things happening. Unfortunately I've hit a brick wall and its the best time to get out for me. Someone else's turn now.

I looked at the thread title and wondered if there was training this morning, strangely enough.

Was there, or couldn't the guys be bothered turning up?

Self important? Interesting....

I don't believe you did anything for the club actually...

.

That's OK. You're allowed to be wrong about me.

What you think, if that's the right word, about me is not really important.

HG:

Why have you revealed you are Col Garland's brother? Whatever serious things you plan to reveal that you think will help the club overcome its problems, how does that help?.

Perhaps you will say that would have become clear to everyone anyway, but would it? Why make it easy for journos to make trouble for your brother? Could you not have published whatever you plan to without revealing that?

HG, why are you waiting till next week, this aint days of our lives.

Spill your guts, its not cool to say, Ive got a secret but I will tell you next week.

Thats [censored].

My father told me a long time ago "never act in anger you will make the wrong decision"

Give yourself a little time to consider what you can and cannot say.

Then when Calm make your case.

Believe me it works way better.

Very Good Mono

It pays to keep your sense of humour.

I find it interesting that Neeld is highly regarded by the Collingwood group and yet apparently cannot coach. I don't think it's Neeld

Malthouse also said we had a great list and would a good side in the future.

You call supporters who are vocal about our performance keyboard warriors. You suggest that a bloke being honest about his insights into what is going on at the club has low character for threatening to make those misgivings public.

I dont know the first thing about you mate, but ive paid my hard earned for many years for this club and all I hear lately from inside sources suggests that the club may have some level of internal disfunction that is hamstringing the player's performance. i wouldnt mind knowing about that if its true and I wouldnt mind it being rectified if it is true so that we can move on from it.

I think every paying member has a right to hear what might be going on at the club to explain the performance on sunday. Simple as that.

So basically i view anyone who suggests that supporters whinging as being a 'keyboard warrior' is a load.

I sure do and it seems that you don't get it but I would expect that, and as for a bloke being honest well, lets see him put his real name to the post and not some pseudonym if he is fair dinkum about what he has to say and stand by it.

I also pay my hard earned and in fact have two memberships so don't think your the only one.

HG if you are going tell all, go through it with a lawyer first before you hit the "post" button.

Once it is out it will go everywhere.

Couldn't he just create a phantom account to post it which has no links to him?

Hell, how do we know he already hasn't...

I'm walking away because I've given everything to the club I can give and I want to live some of my own life. As my part in the club I feel as if I can't give any more and am not achieving what I set out to do, it's hard to get support all the way from the NT.

I'm not walking away from the club, I have just finished working for them. It's someone else's turn now, fresh ideas will work wonders.

I worK fifo and on my time off I spend helping the club out and not spending time with my family. So I'm excited about the next stage in life.

In the end HG there is more to life than a football club and a not very good one at that.

AS wyl says please do not put yourself in a dangerous position they are not worth it.

Mate you don't need to explain yourself to people who havent lifted a finger for the club!. Thanks for helping out the club and best of luck for the future!. Stop by Demonland tho, it's always interesting to hear from someone within the club or was within the club!.

Top man.

Was worried you were driven away by in-house antics.

I don't think we know whether or not he can coach, unfortunately for him we may never find out.

I believe that Schwab is a millstone around his neck, I also believe he (Neeld) has made some bad decisions but what first year coach doesn't. He was placed under some extraordinary pressure in his first year and most of it wasn't his making.

On the other side of the ledger, as for the Collingwood group, I once ran into a St Kilda player in a bar one Christmas and we got talking. He said he loved Stan Alves when he was an assistant with the Saints, great bloke but totally changed when he got the coaching gig...said he was an absolute.....couldn't stand him.

Thanks for all you've done and for the previous and present posts. I really appreciate the info.

Good luck to you and your family and all the best to Col, I reckon he goes alright but it's a pity we didn't get the one they left at home, sounds like he could play a bit.

Some of you are acting like its the end of the world, it's not.

All I intend to do is tidy up a few loose ends/truths, nothing that will put the club into disrepute or my brother. Do you seriously think that I would try to sink the ship after 26 years of membership and many hours of my time.

I also have some Dom Barry info from the NT here too which I thought I'd already put up.

There is nothing wrong with me having an opinion, you all do, as does Lyon, Schwarz & Healy.

Many in the media write autobiographies that would say a lot worse than I would.

HG:

Did you miss my post asking why you revealed you were Col Galand's brother? You've replied to posts since then, but not to my query.

I'm not having a go at you, genuinely asking and concerned about the consequences.

Edit to add: But less concerned given your last post.

May I ask why you will be waiting till next week to post what you have to say?

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.
