Why stop at training?

[Guest]

Great atmosphere at training this morning, but it would be even better if we could provide another morale-boosting attendance at the game tomorrow.

The boys loved us being there, it got them up and about. Lets do it again against the Eagles tomorrow.

Get around the guys, show everyone that our football club won't just roll over.

great news, i only hit city for 7 games per year but im started to get excted enough to stop listening on th radio while fishing and get city more often just to be around dee supporters , so i can not be alone one out with cats and bomber fans giving it to me. we need to stick and show strength right now, maybe being at training and showing the spirit is the start we need

So good to hear training was such a success with the turn out and support.

Lets make sure we all get along tomorrow but lets remember to be realistic too.

We are playing a real finals/premiership chance and will most likely lose the game. Thats a fact.

It would be counter productive for us to then turn around and boo the players during/after the game etc. as we have our hopes up because of a resurgence of supporter support.

As long as they have a fair dinkum crack i'll be happy.

I have heard multiple times from players that the supporters/crowd at games is a key motivator for them. I can understand that - imagine having 30,000 cheering you after a goal/good play (it really would make you dig that little deeper).

I think if we can back up the attendance from training it will be a real motivator for the players. I will be there and if the players show commitment and desire I will be clapping them of the ground no matter what the result. The supporters have shown that they bleed red and blue it is now the time for the players to show it!

Quit this losing is ok attitude...NOW.

i dont think losing is good at all. Believe me.

But in a side that doesn't know how to win, and is learning how, then you need to support the steps in the process of them learning.

I'm not saying i'll be happy if they lose, i'm saying i won't be booing them.

But lets be realistic here, we are playing West Coast a genuine Premiership/Finals contender and we are woeful at the moment. It is highly unlikely we will win, but we can still make progress!

This week i want relentless effort and for them to have a damn crack.. I'll applaud if i get it.

Next week i want relentless effort and something else. I'll applaud if i get it.

The week after i want relentless effort...etc. etc.

You really don't read or comprehend posts do you, nobody is happy iwth losing, keep repeating that to yourself, while you flagellate, the poster is being realistic.......so you expect the team, taking into account where it is at the moment, to come out and beat West Coast by 100 points........yes that would be great and by some miracle it may happen......but realistically not
