It seems you are the one who has a chip everytime a player leaves the club.
Or is it just coincidence that you post in a way that implies that you are pot-shotting the club? Or is it just lack of care on you part?
Maybe one day the penny will drop that this is St Klda Forum rather than BigFooty?
If you post in a manner that appears to imply that the club is not acting
appropriately then it will not surprise when you draw a counter view. But then agian I am quite sure you are fully aware, and that is why you post as you do.
P66: why do you bother to try to spar intellectually with these people? They are too blinkered in their thinking to get what you are on about.
I agree with you 150%. Eddy showed a lot of character in his interview. On the other hand, the club took a very harsh and extremely mystifying decision to delist a guy who was relatively young, always tried his guts out, and was deemed to be good enough to play in 2 successive GFs. And it's really difficult to work out why we needed his spot or his (presumably negligible) $$$ under the salary cap.
Once again, in a process that started with the sacking of TS40 in 2006, through the alienation of Ball (which definitely took place, even if he ultimately left for the $$$), etc, etc: another instance of loyal players being treated as so many cattle.
That's the way things are at our club ATM: sink or swim, perform or be delisted, etc. I have no problems with this approach - it appears to have put us at the top of the comp - but words like "character" or "class" aren't the first that come to mind to describe it: I would have thought "ruthlessly professional" would be more like it.
But then, you see, the article mentioned Ross Lyon doing something (making phone calls, etc.). And, for some on here, Ross is a god who can do no wrong whose every action is filled with "character" and "class". If you criticise - even slightly - anything the club does or has done in the past (well, at least since October 2006) they jump down your throat.
For them, it's about allegedly protecting this place as a Fan Forum. For me, it's just irrational and boring.
