You'll be glad to know WAT that your slogan "no excuses" got a run at the AGM last night  ;).

When Dimma was speaking he said that the year of transformation is over, over the last 2 years we sacrificed results for getting games into the kids but that is now over. Games wouldn't be given they would no be earnt because now it's about result ...... wait for it..................

















NO EXCUSES


****At this point I cracked up  ;D

I bet you and the rest of the members on this forum that attended thought of me didn't you.... :lol, go on you can say it.
DIMMA - You will be held ACCOUNTABLE...

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

WAT

My PA is from Nambia

She still raves about the place.

Only trouble is she got to the stage where she would get home, lock the kids in the car, take her gun out of her handbag and check the house for intruders.

She still can't believe how well we have it here in Australia.

C'mon WAT, you can't use that old chestnut!

Don't be a nambia pambia!
It's that simple Spud

Luv ya Gerks......

"No reason whatsoever we can't make the 8 next year, it's also not mutually exclusive with rebuilding the list. It is possible to win games and still draft, and trade, well.

There is not usually a lot - if anything - between the sides that finish 7-10, except 2 sides play in September and 2 sides make excuses.
What was our record against those sides this year? You only have to beat those below and around you to make it, you don't have to be knocking off Top 4 sides. That's not overrating the list, that's certainly close to where we should be at next year. We may not win a final but we should aiming to play one, bare minimum. That's not a false expectation either, I'm more than aware of how far back we've had to come from and how much further we have to go.

This whole can't make the finals for 4(+) years while rebuilding is new age rubbish and nothing more than an excuse for mediocrity both on and off-field. 2014 realistic? Setting the bar embarrassingly low there. Should have aspirations to be entrenched in the middle of the 8 by then."
