Like when you're making "funny" cracks about people's IQ? Great management, maybe you could oversee the next draft for us...

Well actually I've had some experience in drafting sheep - I think that would help. But - on the IQ question - it was a reasonable "first reaction" response and it did give me a good laugh. What about getting under my wing Stuie - you could learn a lot.

The club doesnt need RR to bring them down, there doing a fine job of that themselves.

Doesn't take guts to kick someone when they're down...

That's not supporting.

And it's damaging because you're trying to influence others to follow you.

If they do, it can do absolutely no good for the club.

Can you not think of a constructive way of helping the club's situation?

According you to you it's not supporting. According to me it is.

And what's the magical power you are attributing to me to somehow 'influence others'? Could you be any more patronizing? Who do you think I am ... David Koresh?

The constructive way forward is for the current regime to be cleaned out and a new competent one ushered in. We are incapable of doing this ourselves so the AFL will have to do it for us.

That is my opinion and I believe it is in the best interests of the club that I have supported for 30 years.

There always down, thats the problem.

You don't think you're trying to influence others?

I've read posts by you imploring others not to turn up, not to buy memberships, and constantly harping on about the impending doom of the club.

Your attitude is defeatist, obnoxious and ubiquitous on this forum.

But how is that supporting?

If no one turns up at a home game, how on earth will that help the club?

You only exacerbate the club's problems by sending supporters into further despair.

Like they aren't hurting enough.

It's hard enough keeping faith as it is right now.

Do you honestly believe that sacking anyone now will help anything?

Are you suggesting that Stuie should become my "grasshopper" ?

If there are fellow supporters who agree with me and see the wisdom in my comments and suggestions, then that's wonderful.

Well, I see no wisdom there, but it's neither here nor there.

I ask you, logically, what you think your approach will achieve?

Do you think it will better the club?

RR - what are you talking about? I have not said anything more than 'if you are concerned enough to want mass sackings, you are not giving up on the club.'

Personally, if you would step back from the 'end of the club' stuff and allow for some time (ir. end of season) for another ticket to challenge the board (or some of the board), then we don't have much to disagree on.

Are you on Scruie's ignore list? I hope this gem wasn't wasted.

Stuie loves it.

After all we've done for him it would be heresy to ignore our sage wisdom.

We have the equivalent of of the Captains of the Exxon Valdez manning the wheel.

What more impetus do you require for change other than pure survival?

It's possible I've misunderstood what you meant, so let's let that go.

Do you really honestly in your heart of hearts believe the club can suffer 20 more weeks of this?

will keep my auto renewal going for the D's > people get some perspective.

I can fully understand the pain of give give give for no on field results.

For dear Jim and my late mad demon bro, (Greg) who also was taken by

a brain tumor at the age of 36yrs, it is the least I can do. Perhaps at this point Jim

might even ask us to say a prayer for the.club ??

For those who cant control their anger - please keep your voices

unheard if the D's do come back one day for the big one.

In your opinion.

But that's not what I asked.

What do you, logically, expect to achieve, by changing either the CEO or board at this time?

And coupled with that, what will it achieve for supporters to not buy memberships and not turn up to matches?

What is the end aim of your approach?

It will have to.

Because any change now will not have an immediately positive impact.

It can only hurt. A lot.

What'll hurt a whole lot more is not cutting the cancer out now before it becomes terminal.

All the answers to all of the questions you have is contained in that statement.

All your comments wreak of personal agenda RR, you provide little to no logic or facts.

Watching so many good games of football today, seeing players work hard for each other with and without the ball I don't think I've ever been so jealous.

I'd love to be a Geelong supporter. They don't ever think they can't win, and it scares the crap out of the opposition.

Today has been a strangely simple eye opener. Footy is basically 4 things - kicking, handball, tackling, running. Unfortunately we aren't good at any of those things currently. Our kicking and running are really, really bad when you watch any of the top 10 sides.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
