But some people are hanging on any bad thing so they can unload the long running lame jokes and get some kicks.

Its sport. It doesnt always go well. Shit happens - take some bad with the good.

We’re 9 years in with the same coach and have sweet f all to show for it. Had we been progressively improving I’ll say the criticism isn’t warranted. We keep seeing the same issues with the team on a regular basis, strange plays/tactics, odd bench choice/rotation and so on. I can understand why fans are growing restless. And if it’s true about the board sacking Ba if we don’t make the preliminary, it’s obvious they are too. If we weren’t passionate we wouldn’t be critical.

And I'm happy to have egg on my face but win the gf
You've got egg on your face just from us winning 16 games and finishing top four ffs. That's determined over 24 games, not f**king two. Therefore it's a better indication of our season. We could make the preliminary final and still only have won one game, no different from last year. Or we could win two or even three games. Every game we win will have involved some luck just like every loss. That would be no different from last year or the year before.

I did; however, I had concerns that we had some psychological issues, and were unable to concentrate for the full 80 against quality opposition.

The team has proven me wrong; the only foot we set wrong was our game against Souths.

Ele, I recall you last year or year before vowing to never watch the eels again. That doesn’t make you a lesser fan than anyone else. It means your passionate!!!

Nothing wrong with some criticism. I think BA is limited and one dimensional.

its the endless mind numbingly dumb shit that people get their jollies from that wears thin

Yep. If you see a loss as a chance to put shit on your own team's fans you're a f**king loser, and you deserve to be shat on when your team wins.

Blaming the coach is buying in to the scapegoat. If we're not as strong as some teams it's because the club isn't spending enough on football operations. We know they're not because of the quality of our pathways compared to bigger clubs. It's not a f**king coincidence, and you merkins pointing the finger at the coach allows the head office to avoid blame.

you
Please don’t put Ba and bs in the same sentence. Bs was a tactical coach with great game plans. It’s almost a tragedy he didn’t win a gf.
sorry it’s an insult to compare Smithy with BA. You are right, Smith did have great tactics just could not get his teams up for the big games. BA has 9 years of nothing
