IS US!!!
It was really disheartening when getting back from a 5 hour round trip drive, and a 5 hour day at the game, to see "Fans" turning on the team and one another.
As Knights fans we have always prided ourselves on being a cohesive unit who love and support our boys no matter what. Some of the crud that i read, especially in the "Joey Should Retire" Thread made me feel physically ill.
Anyone who was at the game today cannot tell me that every single player on that field gave 110% to give the home crowd the win they came to see. Thier hearts, bodies and minds were in it, right up until Joey went down.
Unfortunately, once the heads lopped off an animal it kinda doesnt function as well anymore. And that is what happened today. Yes He's injured for 6-8 weeks, and yes we have a spate of other injuries aswell.
But we have played and won without him before, and we are going to have to get used to not having him in the future.
A Fan isnt supposed to be like a fairweather friend, only showing support when things are going in your favour. If there was ever a time when they need us to get behind them and lift them up its now.
The way people are talking you kinda get the feeling that no one is going to show up for the dogs next week. WRONG WRONG WRONG
We have fielded a weak side against a strong side before and thier arrogance and self assurance cost them, and lets not forget, 5 Bulldogs players are backing up (or hopefully injured) from the Anzac test on Friday, in a disguised blessing we dont have any players currently fit for Rep Selection.
Yes, there is a good chance we won't win. But we beat them last year when they had a similar line up didnt we, and it wasnt Joey leading us then.
RABK and I were not planning on going to the game next weekend, but if we can throw our weight behind the team to give them that little bit more of a lift, we are gunna do it.
I implore everyone who is a true Knights fan to make it next week.
Show them that Win, Lose or Draw, they are still the ones we Love, and that we are Proud, Passionate and part of the team!!![/u]
