Problem was the fans losing their poo in 2011 and 2012 despite being 1-2 years into a rebuild :lol

LOL .  I dunno what we could of done though, they went moneyball with the compromised draft and we are basically back to where we were in the first place after the heady heights of ...three consecutive finals instant knockouts.  stuffing AFL.  Our timing stinks.  Remember we bottomed out when they changed the priority pick rules too LOL dipped out then as well.

I like how they changed the father-son rule two drafts before we finally have our first promising father-son prospects in 20 years because Fathead bitched about the northern club's academies....as if the southern clubs have a production line of gun father-son prospects coming through every year comparable to the academies....even the clubs that have been the luckiest with father-sons, like say Geelong and more recently Footscray, have only really got a batch of 4-5 top players from it over a decade...and usually in just out of one or two drafts...

Yep, the most loyal stuffing fans in the league are the issue here...

And were we losing our poo at that stage? I remember most of us being fairly accepting of a new rebuild.

There is a lot wrong with that post.

Even if we were bitching back then (which I don't agree with), are you seriously suggesting that unrest in small sections of the fanbase is justification for these well-paid administrators to lead the club down an unsasitanbale and ultimately unsuccessful path?

The same club that make key decisions based on being afraid of newspapers and sen- make list managment calls based on a few toothless feral bogans apparently.

Well I can't say I'm surprised

Its ironic reading this thread and realizing the famous OER "Sack Hardwick " thread has been going strong since July 2012.

Was never convinced by the "moneyball" approach...or Blair's execution of it at least, never rated Hackson as a recruiter , was always frustrated that we never traded back into the draft - so my concerns over list management have always been there from day one.....2012 started to see signs that Halfstep was perhaps not all we hoped....but probably gave him the benefit of the doubt until 2013 EF....though couldn't shake the feeling we were winning in spite of things, not because of them...definitely wanted him gone after the corresponding match the following year and he should've been.... then his selections, match-ups and tactics for the 2015 EF made it a matter of urgency....
