That's depressing.

What does this article about Port Adealiade's Coach calling Port's Clearances awful make us look like: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-06/ken-hinkley-postmatch?utm_medium=RSS

That article sums it up for me. The last 2 years of Bailey I actually enjoyed going to footy most of the time. Even though we were nowhere near the most skilled side going around, we were definately one of the most exciting. Since Neeld took over I've watched the side go backwards each week, there is no enjoyment or hope left.

That was basically my take on the years 2008 to 2009 (and I got blasted once for saying so). The club had recruited pretty well and there was enough talent within the group without having to take a dive. Results might contradict me but I feel that two things have set us back:

1) The fact that the draft picks were viewed as an end, not a means to an end. We get the draft picks.... then what? It was never really thought out. This was the previous coach's fault (Bailey).

2) As a person with some self esteem, having a ceiling put on how well you can perform is devastating. This is the current CEO's fault.

Possibly one of the last games I can say the boys gave 4 quarters in and I enjoyed. Pretty much every win after the Brissy game and the Freo fight back game are a blur for me now.

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
