Sad But True

Post: # 1214901Post The Fireman »

After being there tonight and sadly witnessing our downfall I would have to say we have lost all the attributes we had when vying for the flag 3 yrs ago, we simply don't have the leg speed anymore not to mention the skill deficiencies , our champs are now seeing out their twilight years and collecting their pay checks and good on them. We have some promising kids coming up but the likes of champions like Roo, Dal, Lenny,Fisher just can't prop us up any more. Don't hold your breath guys for another tilt at the bigtime..just enjoy going to the games for at least another 7 yrs..at least and hope for some incredible sponsorship and recruiting.. Sad but True. More will become evident against some of the young upcoming sides like the Cheats .
I have been critical and some of my posts in the past have reflected that but I have always posted with honesty from experience. Why am I posting this? maybe I shouldn't have , maybe.. like many ....should just shut up and let the hopeful embrace a rose colored future...sorry, couldn't help myself, I want all to share my misery. :)

I do understand where you're coming from Fireman..... but I think we can (hopefully) be more opitimistic than a 7 year wait for the next shot at it..... things can change pretty quickly given smart recruiting and some luck.

I do agree with you regarding our stars being on the decline

correct, this it folks. But hey we can still fly the flag but be a little more critical about how our club handles things in the near future, in other words..piss those rose colored glasses off.
