Title: We Are The Worst
Post by: WA Tiger on August 15, 2009, 04:27:10 PM
Well just sitting here at 3 qtr time 97 points down and I really feel we are the worst performing club in the AFL. We actually play our players in the positions we beleive they plat at their best (with the exception of morton today... ???) and we still can not play this game.

Our decision making is amazingly stupid, our skill level... well.... I watched my sons 12's side play today and they won by 47 points in the hail and their skill was better, I kid you not.

Our players are weak and underperformers and very over rated. trade any of them for mine and start again, honestly they have not shown me anything this week that differs from last wek.

Really people with the exception of the youth policy...... well giving a few young players a go that would have got a go anyway what has changed since Wallace left???? Please be honest to yourselves before answering that, also, sorry Jade but the players look like they wan't to win for you as much as I wan't to stick a cucumber up my arse.

This club needs a hard nut coach to pull these useless players into line because what I am watching is not an AFL side it is a pathetic attemp to to play a game that we all love by a pathetic side representing a club we all love.

We are the worst club in the AFL for mine.

Only a hard nut can coach Richmond. Only Hardwick of the candidates can do this job. If Rawlings somehow wins the job we will be finished as a football club within the decade. Our members have had a gutful.

Freo are the worst! We are not far behind! However, everyone wants to bag our list commenting on people by labelling them with names such as McLovin and Petrified and bagging Edwards and King even though Edwards was named in todays best! Then we want to say that the club will die within 10 years if we appoint Jade! You cant have your cake and eat it too! What is it ? Wallace, the club, March, Rawlings? Jade has inherited a mess but we blame him! The list is not the greatest getting around and i think we ought to remember that when passing judgement. Rawlings is the little boy with the finger in the dyke! It wouldnt matter who coached us, we are not going to do any good until we stop slagging off, back stabbing and generally being nasty little humans!

this coming from someone who just weeks ago annointed Jade as the new coach. The great white hope. No worries pal  :thumbsup

your comment it doesn't matter who is coach us if the biggest load of crap because if that were Lethal or Malthouse out there the players would respond and all 22 would have been gusting their gut out their today. They dont respect Jade as a coach and are not affraid of him.

Our players need to be affraid of making a mistake and not be sugar coated like what Spud and Wallace did.

Lastly anything to do with the Wallace era needs to go.

McCrae and Royal :banghead

i have seen how Mccrae has developed these kids. Nice work pal

Sugar
Rawlings also should go

a complete clean out with March, all fitness coaches and recruitment staff also. Thompson

all assistant coaches should be shown the door post round 22 and sorry Campo but that includes you

anyone who thinks we are not heading into a rebuild are kidding themselves.

You're too emotional Daniel.

The scare tactic of authoritarian style coaches is long dead. Look what happened to Pagen in the Carlton days.

No matter how many times you tell the players are worthless it wont make them better players. Our list needs to be improved before we start calling upon coaches to come in and save the day.

We need our own brand and style of footy and it needs disciplined players to adhere to it. Simple as that.

Ross Lyon and Paul Roos 2 of the most placid coaches in history have probably the best win loss record of any team bar Geelong since the Brisbane era.

There are no need for Goliath coaches these days. You need an Einstein, that's why I'm heading towards Richardson. Don't get me wrong Hardwick's CV is 2nd to none but doesn't strike me as an innovator. Richardson has a lot of experience with successful clubs that have rebuilt. For mine that edges a bit over the fact that he is a little rougher in his playing days.

The last few premierships have a uniwure style to them.

Sydney - Keep possession at all costs (Innovative and first of it's kind)
Geelong - Run and Carry, use handball and run in numbers at will (Possibly can't claim that they invented it but first team to get it right and everyone tried to copy them)
Hawthorn - Invented the zone (Innovative and brilliant match committe decisions, coaching and team discipline)

For mine what every we are doing isn't working. To the drawing board and brainstorm with Sheeds how this club can change the game instead of trying to keep up with the rest of them.

We need brains at the club not brutes.

You dont understand your own contradicions, you pay out the playing group and say that players are, quote, the worst footballer to ever play AFL, unquote, and then you want to say a tough coach like leigh matthews can the most out them? Terry Wallace screwed the club over, but now it is rawlings fault? Which one is it? Rawlings? McLovin, Wallace?,March?, Jack Dyer?, Global Warming?, El Nino? Bloody easy to point fingers in blame but very hard to come up credible solutions! Hardwick will get the job, no doubt now that the minority group of gob offs are making noises, and we will still be poo! And then jungle drums will begin to beat ever so softly until it reaches a cresendo again!

Jade was given a big chance unfortunately he is not ready to be a senior coach. Hardwick on the other hand is. A history of success and toughness is what is needed not molly coddling.

Its funny what a good nights sleep can do.

Over the last 3 weeks you can argue that we are a rabble and the absolute easy beats of the competition.

However we are not the only team in the history of the AFL to succumb to injuries and put the cue back in the rack towards the end of the season.

Western Bulldogs lost the last 4 games of 2007 by an average of almost 10 goals.
Essendon finished off last year with 3 straight losses at an average losing margin of 70 pts.

Our recent lack of competitiveness has been disturbing and we are in no danger of winning again this year.
Things look grim now...but we will soon have a new coach appointed and a major clean out of the playing list.
2010 ...A new beginning.

Post by: the_boy_jake on August 16, 2009, 08:24:16 PM
Absolutely no doubt we are one of the worst teams.

I use % to gauge teams as it is not affected by a couple of close scrappy wins. Ours is nearly as bad as Melbourne and Freo and I think that there is a possibility that we will finish with a worse % than Freo.

We are very lucky that we only played Geelong and St Kilda once too as it might have finished the worst!

All I can say is get used to it. 2010 should be a full on developmental year where we get games into as many of our young fellas as possible.

We are one of the worst performing but we dont have the worst list.  Blood our top draft picks from this year straight away into next years season as well regardless of how they go.

Post, Vickery, Collins play them regardless of form or results.

no we dont have the worst list. okay no worries pal :thumbsup we are only trumped by Freo make no mistake about that.

as for blooding youngsters if Alroy does not get a gig this week then we have no idea.

lets see what he has got and i dont give a stuff about Coburg and his form because it counts for sh.ite

schulz does okay at that level yet is useless when he plays for us.

alroy needs to play ahead of Brown and his selfish mates

Your not suggesting that Hardwick is an idiot who cant put 2 sentences together. His education, the successful completion of commerce degrees suggests that not only isnt he an idiot, but that he can also put 2 sentences together as well together with 3 flags at 3 different clubs. If he doesnt get the job- then the process has been rubbish.
