Yes - I should be proud we gave our best. I should be proud that for the past 25 years 'we gave our best.' Right now is about the time I become a little impatient. Clean the place out. Sick of being second to the ball... sick of stylish players with no heart... sick of try-hards in our colours... sick of accepting mediocrity.
I have followed and supported this club for 40 odd years and im sick of the mediocrity as well
But i have a solution and that is i dont give a flying toss bag anymore because theres only so much disappointment one person can take
Im convinced this club will never win a flag in my lifetime doesnt matter who they draft.they just have a looser culture dont reckon that will ever change.
After that post i can see that your nick really suits you.
Lonies whole game right now is trying for free kicks. He just does not have the speed to make up for his lack of height.
He milked an early free and got a goal.. but it is just not enough
I hope he can improve, is only young... but right now he costs us more by losing contests and being too small to compete in the air or lay effective tackles, than he gains us by milking frees.
We have enough small forwards with Gresh and Billings, so I just dont see why we need him there..

If he stays on the list he has to get on the protein powder, hit the gym, get an upper body and learn how to tackle

I would delist him. Too small, too slow and a stager..

Can anybody tell me why we have recruited so many small forwards who can't go into the guts and kick very few goals?
