Some of you guys amaze me - Terry does what the blood lusters are after and sacrifices a few lambs and you all agree what a great move it is - and say things such as " OOOHHHH I'm so Excited!!!!"
And then after being lauded for finally making the right decisions (the ones all these so-called PRE luminaries have decided are right) ...when it all turns to cr@p ---he is a dud. Give me a break!
The team had a look of the Fitzroys when it was named and so it proved.
What about that stellar defence. Mguane and Moore were shown up for what they are - kids with a long way to go and if GAS had made half of the comedy caper errors these two made he would have been lynched before he exited the change rooms. Moore has played in 2 winning teams in about 25 games and Mcguane has never cracked it for a win and these two were going to be our defensive KPPs. We should have seen teh headlights coming teh other way when we suffered average 100 point losses against West Coast St Kilda and Swans without GAS in the side
Youth policy - White and Jackson - the Krusty and Sideshow Mel of AFL , sorry VFL football.
We identified our scapegoats and guess what - we got the wrong ones. We get beaten in the middle, week in week out and we keep playing tweedle dee and tweedle dum, a couple of hard nuts admittedly - one whose body has let him down and can no longer run which added to the fact that he never had a skill set makes him a rather unlikely first rotation midfileder, but apparently qualifies him as an excellent captain. The other cannot be faulted for endeavour but unfortunately has the football composure of an inebrited gnat on ritalin.
Kudos to Foley, Polak and Richo for fighting it out ..and Bowden apart from his usual Bowden moments tried to lead from the front.
Since we have dipped our toe into the youth policy quagmire we might as well go all the way - Out Tuck, Johno and throw darts at a board and delete any 4 others and bring in Jack, Polo, Connors, Thursty, Casserly and Edwards.
We can then watch Coburg win the flag and then wait till 2009 when we have all our great recruits fron the superdraft of 2008 for Richmond win a game.
BTW Do we still have Gas' number?
