Ive been a long time supporter of this wonderful footy club and nobody enjoys the lack of success more than me , but for crying out loud if you have got nothing better to do than slag the club off at every chance you need to go elsewhere and take your obvious frustrations out on someone else . I will wait for the abuse heading my way from a certain few haters on here but in all seriousness if you blokes dont like whats going on at the club why dont you do something about it instead of getting on here having cheap shots at other supporters and the club . Go the Redlegs

Good post leigh.

These are the same supporters that denegrated the club on WAFL Online.

They have no solutions just criticism which is not even constructive.

Oh, and they will accuse you of criticising anyone who doesn't agree with you.

Yes you are right you can expect some abuse as I can.

Like you I can't wait for the season.

Go DEES.

So let me get this right, since I never saw you condemn the behaviour of a certain person on here (or any other site) which was considered vulgar and unacceptable on here by others (including many non Perth supporters), abuse in your book is ok providing it's not levelled at you or the Perth FC??

Mr AFL wrote: It was good to get a letter from Damian about what the club had done over the off season. My understanding is that the club has made an effort in trying to recruit players to fill obvious gaps in the team. Some of these players look good but majority are still untried at this level. I am not slagging off the club as I believe the have done a very good job in getting the players that they have. Like I said a couple of weeks ago it is unrealistic to expect the club to go out and recruit 5-6 10 point players. I'll be down there watching all the scratch matches looking at all the new recruits and seeing which ones might be able to play a part this season. All in all can't wait for the footy to start!

Will be looking out for your reports on here Mr AFL.

I have never condoned the language or abuse of anybody.

Turning a blind eye is sometimes very convenient isn't it?

What upsets me is that the same criticism has been levelled for months/years.

Same old same old with every post.

We all know how people feel about Damien McMahon, w'eve heard it all before. And I have said before that I do not necessarily think he is the right man for the job but I refuse to denegrate the man in a public forum. He has the job for now and that is that.

But, I have never abused him or the Club.

I have been accused of being a defender of the Club. Well, I don't agree with every decision that is made but I am not prepared to abuse good people that do a job in a voluntary capacity, give good money to help the Club. All they seem to get from some quarters is abuse and ridicule and I don't believe they deserve it.

As you go through life you cannot expect that everything will go your way you need to take the good with bad. The only alternative is to come up with a viable alternative and do something about it.

Yes, I know that people don't have the time or the inclination to do that.

Therefore do the people that do try to do something deserve all the abuse and criticism they cop?

I don't think so.

Call me a yes man if you like.

What we all need to do is understand what it takes to run a football club, and give those people that are trying some support.

Interesting comments Leigh, I look forward to see if you post anything positive and informative. So far all i've read from you is rubbishing supporters. Good start.

I did that why I started the thread. Some how Leigh you got a bee in your bonnet and hijacked a perfectly good post for your own ends. Please stay on topic and contribute something positive.!!!!!!!!

Im not going to argue with you like some do you seem like a nasty man . Anyway something possy just for you , im a huge Duffy fan and would love to see him still in the red and black . Good luck to the young lad , hope he makes a name for himself .

Sometime things are not what they seem leigh. Duffy has it all before him he just has to take it. What did you make of the letter from the coach leigh?

Welcome aboard Benno.

Look for Johnno & BTB.
