What a embarrassing disgusting performance, I can live with losing that's never been a problem with me but by 103? That's unacceptable.
Poor recruiting over summer is now showing us up.

Not panic stations yet but there could be a lack of desire from the premiership players of 2013, need to keep playing the kids and cop what we cop for the time being I reckon. We never seem to bottom out, maybe this is our year !!!

I personally don't have all the info on our new prez but "perception is reality" and the perception on him is Where the F....k is he?
He is not the Club man Raponi was - He may have business accumin and maybe THE CHANGE NEEDED A BACKYARD BULLY IN THAT AREA??? - but I don't see he wears Red and Blue - I don't see him at the games / reserves or Colts as Raponi would be - he seems aloof to me - So as an outcome ????? Time will be the judge

On our game against Sth's - EMBARRASSING and an honest internal assessment is needed. Not ...lets put that behind us, not without learning from it

Relevant Cliches:-"You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and its only one game" but cracks and position concerns have been bubbling since game 1.
Whats with all the lack of confidence (hand-balling?) no confidence to kick forward? - you cant throw players around trying to put out spot-fires when in a raging bush-fire spot fires keep moving ahead of you, its a redundant move.
I include several other players here regarding disposals in a game: I love Nellie but Im over all the hooplah about statts. If the statts meant as much as some profess this game would have changed almost on his efforts alone ( but it DIDNT)- its "effective disposals" that impress me' not fluff.

My thoughts:- Time to give some of the supposed position players a fright and show them a reserves birth
Time to have the players honestly access their teams form in a locked room.
Defensive game plans dont win in today's footy - Long and strong is a game winner in my mind -- Im not a coach but This ring a round a rosie the players fall into is a killer!!!

Oh & what did I miss with Keitel on the field - did he abuse someones Mum or someones red headed freckle faced bucktoothed sister? seemed he aggravated nearly every SF player - and he got the free kicks to prove it

President sets the tone for a club and it appears the Raponi replacement is not visible. Chincs are appearing in the armour at Garlic land.
Dud pres'or not, that was still a pathetic effort.

Ballem has been down to speak to the members at home games, just ask Winger.

Winger told me also, but he has not visited sponsors of the club like Brett did, I should know.

But aside from that the club has not recruited well in the past 2 seasons, we have lost good players and not replaced them, we are blooding within yes but need key position players, our forward line is weak, our defense is weak, midfield is ok.

The lack of recruiting is smart business in my opinion. You may struggle to win a Premiership but running a tight budget will keep your club alive. There are tough times ahead time to tighten the belts.

Scott comes down to the members area all the time. He is available to the members in person and by e-mail and phone. He is an approachable person and very much dedicated to the club. Bretts a top bloke and was a dam good prez, lets give Scott some time to settle in, go up to him and say hello.

Apparently so - as with quite a few long standing members and supporters who haven't seen him or had him warmly say Hi etc etc etc
But as was mentioned
Happy for him to be given a go and ill look out for him on the stairs incase Im coming down as hes going up or Visa Versa?
