I just can't believe this.....

[Go Richo 12]

Its the day after our first NAB cup/challenge game and i can't believe what i am reading!!! The same old negative crap is being is being posted by the same old negative people!

We had some big outs from a very young team, are playing a new brand after 5 years and played a team who's position on the ladder last year was not a true indication of their talent. Give everyone go! Who actually thought we were going to be any good this year anyway? This is the only pre season in recent memory where we are not getting propaganda slammed down our throat that raises unrealsitic expectations.

And before the same old tired replies comes, i am sick of under achieving, i have been through the same amount of heart ache as anyone and do get sick of some of our drafting! I just don't see how constantly denigrating players will change what happened in the past. I also don't believe in slagging off players simply because our club made the mistake of drafting them!

Can we, as a group of supporters, actually get behind this group for once?

Some of us can GR12 and I totally agree, but the usual suspects will never ever embrace our club or the players. Rather than looking at the positives they continually bring up the negatives, they are just happy to bag the club........unfortunately.

 I'll drink to that

Its hard to get behind the team when there are 15 other teams behind them gearing up to give them the reaming of their lives.

I honestly think we are capable of going 0-22. At the very best we will win 4 to 5.

Dont knock it if you havn't tried it .

Howd you know, Thanks

Mate, I call it as I see it, if the truths hurts , bad luck,
Only positive from last night was Martin.
Problem last night is that, how on earth can you embrace something when we werent even competitive.
They had 2 goals from 4 kicks in the first 2 minutes, you geniuses work that out
People on here give Connors are rap, watched the game again today, his first 4 kicks either went straight to the opposition or resulted in turnovers, you embrace that!

I really don't understand the outcry. The last five years, like it or not, was a waste of time in terms of player & game plan development. I still feel burned by the previous regimens but they rolled the dice it didnt work, move on.

WE ARE STARTING FROM SCRATCH.

Because of previous mis-management we are in the poorest of positions in terms of an onfield team & game style. Hardwick, by most peoples accounts, has done as much pruning as possible. He can't just trade captains and mainstay inside midfielders as their is only a semblance of leadership in the team as it is. Yesterday there was 12 different players playing compared to our opening game against Carlton last year.

Player Turnover + New Game Plan = Losses (Heavy Ones Against Top Four Sides)

It's going to be a long year, and it has to be if we are to ever rise out of this rut of mediocracy.

Sorry Al,i thought you  meant you were a poofter...

I was wondering how you even knew about that flag, it was only the file name that made me realise what it was.

Both the Cats and the Hawks were is the same position as us. Don't you all remember people demanding the heads of Thompson and Clarkson?? They survived by the skin of their teeth and look at them now!! Both teams were losing regularly but they were rebuilding and adjusting game plans just like we are now. We are in the recession we had to have but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel even if it is akin to one of those el cheapo solar garden lights.

Yeah agree, everyone including the entire RFC have told supporters what we are doing, where we are heading and yes how we are rebuilding. It's a shame some people can't get that in their heads, it's going to take years not one NAB game.
