Smacked with 40 secs to go? Even then where were we on the ladder?
We’ve now dropped out the 8 and you are back?
Any supporter that takes joy out of us losing so in some twisted way he uses that to vindicate his hatred of a young player needs help and should go support the swampies.
I think we’re all overlooking one key thing in all of this.
Given the swell of backlash is growing to a point that the drums almost can’t be ignored, do you honestly believe that Burton, Hass and co. wont mismanage and rush top tier players back if they fear their cushy jobs are at stake?
I can see us playing nobbled top tier players that have been pushed back into the starting lineup underdone in an effort to keep these clowns in jobs.
Can’t believe Americans didn’t see the Russian interference sooner. That’s deadset Putin in drag.

So that’s a “If I list them, I’ll have to admit there are so few of them that my position that our current form is Hamish’s fault will be exposed and I’ll look like a bigger idiot, so I’ll continue to deflect”
That’s ok Marty, we know what you mean.
Our list is good enough to win a premiership and we have a coaching group good enough. We've had a litany of soft tissue injuries and we're 6-5. I'm actually surprised we're 6-5, and I think if it weren't for the coaching group we'd be completely screwed. This is a game where you must capitalise on opportunities, and we didn't, we've completely f$#%ed it. It takes years to assemble a list, open a premiership window, and get the right coaching staff. We do all of that and then our fitness staff, who are supposed to experts, go and injure everyone.
I'm the CEO of a $150m company with 1000 employees. I know how to find problems in organisations and I can smell them a mile off. Those soft tissue injuries are not a statistical anomaly, which makes them human error. The human(s) that made that error have resulted in our season going down the toilet after years of hard work and strategy building the organisation to a capacity where we can achieve what we exist to achieve. This isn't a "we'll learn from it" moment because this person (or persons) have been hired to provide expertise in fitness, and they have messed that up. They are now being allowed to demonstrate that they are not incompetent and can be trusted with our fitness regime. This comes with a large risk because we're rolling the dice assuming that they're competent and can fix it (even though they've already screwed up), and at the same time rolling the dice on our players fitness and everything we exist to achieve. Without sacking someone, which shouldn't be off the table, an external review is the only way to mitigate the risk. If they haven't got a tonne of internal heat on them, and if there hasn't been an external review, then there's a problem.

This trade period will be a good test for Pyke. Is he committed to having the best squad possible and the best off-field team possible, or is this year just a whoopsie blamed on injuries that will right itself once we can "play our way" again.

They can't go too hard at that angle in their public messaging ... what do they do when we don't have the picks to get high SA talent in other years? They can't risk the draft the best we can from anywhere policy being unpopular.
Are u on the dole Marty?
You would think so. But remember this club has been ultra paranoid about missing the 8 its entire existence and has no faith in youth.
I think the supporters would be on board if it was packaged with a coaching/fitness clean out, but the club is detached from the members and has a mind of its own.
You would think with Pyke's business ventures outside of the AFL bubble that he would be acutely aware of this. I wonder which side will take over, the footy club man, or the businessman. Hopefully it's the latter, because I feel as though he's carrying a couple of people in that coaching group.
The Walsh stuff is a myth. Walsh had a great personality and talked to the media like a boss, which made fans warm to him.
But he wasn't the messiah. He too was a big proponent of the gold pass culture. He had an unhealthy obsession with ground ball as if he had cracked the code. His win - loss wasn't amazing.
Pyke is the better coach by any measure. Walsh would be getting his arse handed to him with such a decimated squad. But he would be more entertaining and relatable to the average footy fan in pressers.
The Big Footy supporters would be. The masses would probably be appalled at the thought of turfing club legends, or "our boys".
Ceebs listing them
It’s damn obvious we are on the decline because we have t turned the players over correctly
We will not win a premiership in the next 5 years maybe even 10 the way we are looking
Major factor is the list who is responsible

You were a young thread, an interesting thread, you had potential, but alas you were unlucky. We could have shared some good times together discussing the immediate future of our club and how to make the most of this season to set our 2019 campaign up for success, but it wasn't meant to be. For now the scourge of threads has returned and you shall fall victim to derailment so that one man's agenda against Ogilvy and Doedee can fester.

Ceebs responding.
Sadly he didn’t get long enough to prove what sort of a coach he was, the pear seemed to think he was a big loss when he left them.
