F*** it's frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it is frustrating - reading some of the shite that some people put on this site. If those who regularly "bag" the Board, Committee and players actually did something worthwhile, rather than whinge, maybe, just maybe the club may be stronger. To bag Michael Florio suggests that you know very little about footy and or players. He's been at Perth for about 6 years, probably played 80 odd league games and gave plenty to the club. To suggest he doesn't like the "hard training" borders on insulting to the young fella. Maybe, just maybe he needs to change things in his lifestyle, particularly since he got married a week or two ago!! Some people have to or need to make lifestyle changes - they are not there to please goofballs, some of who pass judgment without knowing, but thinking they know everything about everyone. We will go with what we've got and as long as they give their best each week, we can't expect anymore. I'd strongly suggest that prior to people putting posts on these types of sites, that you have a think about what your saying about who, before doing so.

Mate this club has been mediocre since 78, every other WAFL club that's had its up and downs and premiership droughts has come out the other side and become successful.

So yes I do blame the board and pretty much everyone who has had some say in the club sine 78, and its typical going by what looks like a merger or an alignment coming up the board has will take the easy option.

This is what I'm most looking forward to in 2015.

If we have a good run with injuries and the players are all able to stick together and adapt to a game plan which from all reports will be a lot simpler this year then we might be able to win more games than what people think.

PF your post suggests to me that you may be part of the problem.
The sad part there are people at the Club that can't see the problem.
You cannot fix a problem until you admit there is one.
Wonderful of you to do all the work.
Thank you.
But in football terms it is not good enough.
The sad part there does not appear to be anyone at the Club that appears capable of putting a Board together that will deliver us.
Wake up, players have left in droves.
There is a problem.

Pitchfork,I dont know about Florios training ethics but i do know come Saturday arvo's he sometimes looked lazy during a game,most supporters saw that.

I got the impression he was one of McMahons "favourites".
Had some ability but didnt show it enough over those 80 odd games,he was frustrating to watch at times.

As far as the board,commitee,players etc go....accountability would be a good start.

I reckon those in "positions" at our club get off lightly,have a look at the passion shown by the Richmond,St Kilda supporters through poor showings year after year,those supporters would tear this joint down if they followed this club!!
We are at the point now where supporters are generally happy if we win 7 or 8 games a year,our grand finals are when we cause an upset win over a top team.

I agree with PN,the current admin are just biding there time waiting for the alignment..whatever you do dont spend bucks on decent recruits lets go "with what we got"...as long as they give there best...lol

Does anyone know if the Busher deal has been finalised yet? There are rumblings at Claremont that Mitch Andrews may be used in a trade for Kepler Bradley.
I wonder if we have tested the waters there? At 198/92 and age 28 Andrews could be what we are looking for to lead our ruck. Would add experience.

Smokester, I don't think the Club would give much credence to anything said on here.
We're all morons, apparently.
Well at least according to PFD.

Only "rumblings" are coming from WP. WPFC is having more departures than Perth airport.
