TOPIC:

I reckon they do it for the girls.

So you had no choice,would be interested if other clubs have a selection of candidates to vote for. Maybe it's the girls or the business trips or the kick backs.

Not sure about the glory.
It's probably more about the free lunches.
I can assure you that in 2004 there would have been only 3 maybe 4 Directors at most at a Luncheon, they were rostered.
I'm fairly sure that all Directors are there now.

At the moment to make up numbers because nobody is coming at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly Swan42.
Not too many of our Directors would run through a brick wall for the Club.
That's the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of them I have never seen before, prior to being appointed to the board.

He could have been a wonderful player had he got himself fit.
And yet we allow players to dictate whether they will train or not.
Throw Leon Davis into the as well.
Just pitiful.

Illustrates how important the next coach is.
Also the need for a decent:
Football Manager
Football Director

The club will go nowhere until these things are resolved.

All we ever hear is these guys are not club people, not doing the right thing.

Geez is everybody so bad?

Or is it our football department that is so bad? Unable to manage!!!!

I know the answer.

Matt Moody is a policeman DF. The odd hours do mean that he can't attend all training sessions. Just a fact of the competition really, the WAFL is semi professional.

I do agree though that in the past players have been mismanaged.

Hear what you are saying.
No excuse for not being fit though.
He could train at other times.

As a club we would be the least fit team in the competition.
Yet we get told every year they're the fittest they have ever been.

Very interesting talking to some of the guys from the Eagles that moved from Perth. Also some of the guys that went to Perth from EP over the last five years. Who are the board members at Perth if I may ask and what is their background, are they Perth people.

What did these guys say Larry?

About 180 people there on Saturday apparently.

I think he was fitter last year but this year just seems off the pace.

The whole squad is not fit enough IMO. Have heard that the game plan under the ex coach was very taxing. This would explain why we have been able to play some very good football and then die in the arse.

Why you would use this game plan if the players fitness wasn't up to it is beyond me.

However our fitness levels have been down compared to other clubs for years. So when the club says we are the fittest we have ever been maybe we are. We are just coming from a long, long way back

Hopefully with a new fitness regime and a less taxing game plan we can be competitive for 4 quarters and not 2-3.

You can imagine cant you?
It wouldnt be to flattering.
There sitting pretty on top of the ladder whilst there former club awaits another wooden spoon!

I know when they get delisted(if they do they become Perth players again) they wont be wanting to come back to us in a hurry if things stay the way they are thats for sure.
