Since 73 posted last week...
The usual mob get beat week after week after week…
Here’s an idea…
Let’s keep sending the same guys out again and again and again...
I just do not get our club. It breaks my heart to have to support a side that has accepted defeat so readily.
'We have no money.'
We have no players.'
'We're the perennial bridesmaids.'
'The ref's are against us.'
We hang these tags on ourselves and accept the same mob running out each week and getting beat.
We are lucky in that we have 5 rounds to blood these guys - in games that don't matter.
They can go their hardest against seasoned first graders and win, lose or draw it's an invaluable learning curve.
Much better than waiting til trial games against half-assed competition or in games that matter in early 2011.
And, a bloke like kelly would have the opportunity to learn a few things from Barrett.
A slightly better option than say, reserve grader Wade Graham next year.
But you've been following sticky's rule for a decade now Flanno - so don't go changing the mantra....
'Don't chase the win - just pick the guys who ensure you won't get towelled up.'
You're a dickhead and you're at a club where dickheads have ruled for nearly 10 years.
And we're dickheads because we turn out each week to watch the same 17 blokes achieve the same result each week.

Anyway - that's my point and I've hammered it to death in this thread.
For the life of me i can't accept defeat until I've left absolutely no stone unturned, and that's what frustrates the crap out me about our coaches.
