You know the sad thing is we could trade out all these 3rd rate playersand recruit top kids and I bet we'll probably still be stuffed. The culture at Punt Road is rooted good and proper.

Correct !

so does a culture that is so bad get fixed? its one hell of a job IMHO.

Can we sack the bloke who sells our home games? I know we do it  for coin but wins bring the cash in too!
We should have beaten them anywhere but i think we need to learn how to win at home before we try somewhere else!

Eff you all. I'll give you the Dirty Dozen:-

Jackson, Thursfield, McGone, Farmer, Herslop, White, Browne, Graham, Webberley, Connors, Morton, Edwards.

Yes sir, its a roll call of the mentally fragile, the pea hearted and those who sit down to pee.

And that's not even counting guys like Tuck, Miller and JON Mk II who we know won't be there next year.

Depressing.

I'm off for the mother of all binge eating sessions.

Without even batting an eye-lid. But as others have said, even wholesale changes to the list isn't the answer. The problem is the culture is well and truly stuffed.

Funny everyone going straight for McGuane. Don't get me wrong he is crap and he'll be upgraded at season's end but apart from one or two standard blunders he played one of his better games today

Thats the thing Black its not about today its about him and most of our players from day one.

If we had won today some, actually a fair few would say Edwards, Mcguane etc etc are going good bla bla

we get caught up in this insipid meaningless wins and therefore miss the bigger picture.

We have about 12 players who play okay when they want but the bottom line is they are useless at this level.

we hold onto them in the hope they will come good. Development at Punt road is the worst in the league thats why you have players like Thursfield who still look 12 yrs old with skinny girl arms. He belongs at Commercial Road with Bob Browne that bloke along with half of our list

You're right and the club would know it too you'd hope. We'll cut deep into the list again and hopefully trade wisely

With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Connors is undisciplined and Morton drifts in and out like the tide. Where is the consistency. If we are going to judge a player on our list in reference to Connors for five years as he debuted in 2007 has played 20 odd games out of about 90 since his debut in Geelong in Round 18 2007 and you still claim we'd be a better side....... Kid has had his chances injuries form discipline has let him and the club down thems are the breaks. Had enough of this hanging on to what ifs who have talent show little been on the list forever and a day in the hope they might take us to the big dance one day. Pass if he is so good, trade him and let someone else invest what we have for the paltry return. I for one have had enough of him.
