No need to name call when you don't understand what your talking about
No, I'm name calling because you don't understand. I called you thick, it is pretty easy to get, keep up.

No need to name call when you don't understand what your talking about
What hurt is not backing bloody Essendon when I knew we would lose.Normally I get over losses pretty quick but this one seemed to hurt for some reason. Didn't help with all the antagonistic Essendon supporters around the cbd. I never rub it in to oppo supporters. Never
Are you really wasting everyone's time by running a purely semantical argument about the word toxic?
I'll weigh the decision at renewal time I suppose.
I can say that I didnt watch the Gold Coast game, which is a first, and I'm pretty sure I won't go to the St Kilda game, which is a first.
I'm getting closer to the point where the AFC won't be a part of my life.
This nails it.Fages is happy as long as people are turning up, and the AFC has no shortage of people willing to line up for another bowl of slop.
The coaches are happy as long as their best mates are getting games and we scrape into finals.
The players are happy getting paid to have a laugh with their mates. Brodie Smith on the wireless after the game having a great time yukking it up about wearing the wrong guernsey.
No one has any real want or need for a flag. In fact it seems a lot of them don't really care if they win or lose week to week. They're all content with where they are.
Yet we're supposed to show up rain, hail or shine and "support tha boyz like a real supporter or go and follow tha mob down the road!!!"
Is our head of football still at the club. I don't think I have heard anything from him this season.
It's because their performances have no accountability. They do not hold themselves responsible for failing because they are not made to be responsible. The nepotism that got Ricciuto on the Board (great player, not an Administrator's ahole) has seen Campo retained well past his use-by date and incompetent failures like Burton, Hass and Hart re-employed. Similarly, underperforming senior players are re-selected weekly.The players are happy getting paid to have a laugh with their mates.

So how do you explain them "putting" in for the 1st half against all the top teams we played this year. They should just start the game shit then....?It's because their performances have no accountability. They do not hold themselves responsible for failing because they are not made to be responsible.

Drugs Are Bad Mackay? made good observations in another thread about the players' what's-the-point? attitude.
It's like rust. Once started it will spread inevitably, unless dealt with immediately.
What we tolerate, in general, we get more of. True in life and of the Crows, who are rusting out of the 8.
I found it interesting after the loss to Port that Campo came out and made that statement about emotionThis nails it.
It's just a 9 to 5 for them nowadays. No one ever mentions striving to win a premiership like they used to when they were young and full of drive
Because at half time the ''jobs done boys'' sign goes up. It actually re-inforces this comfortable feeling the players have.So how do you explain them "putting" in for the 1st half against all the top teams we played this year. They should just start the game s**t then....?
Of course not.So how do you explain them "putting" in for the 1st half against all the top teams we played this year. They should just start the game s**t then....?
They owe all of us a committed four-quarter effort, every game.I don’t owe them anything.
Perhaps however they owe me.
No. Coaches who take teams to losses in a GF are retained as reward for getting there.Pyke probably should have been tapped after the grand final
That’s one take.Because at half time the ''jobs done boys'' sign goes up. It actually re-inforces this comfortable feeling the players have.
I think this is too black and white. The players had to be more responsible for the loss (against Dons) rather than the coach, surely? We need to play the fit and the firing to better allow us to judge the coach. And need to kick bloody straighter!No. Coaches who take teams to losses in a GF are retained as reward for getting there.
Scott/ Bolton/ Richardson are gone because they failed.
However, it's nearly 2 seasons later and we are playing much worse now than then (2017, not the GF).
I think Pyke is in trouble.
Either he takes control, brings in his own assistants (totally shattering the jobs-for-the-boys regime) and is given the chance to rebuild his way,
OR
the Club needs to find someone who will.
Doesn't look to me that either will happen; not with this Board/Chairman, not while nepotism rules. The decision-makers are not going to decide to unemploy themselves, unfortunately.

Apart from Gibbs who has really been held accountable though ? Its like Smith and Milera are expected to make up for under performing players all over the ground.I think this is too black and white.

Maybe both workI used afagan@afc.com.au last year
It's not a tantrum, it's a correct read of a club that has too many systemic issues to be successful.I get the sentiment of the thread and share the frustration and bitter disappointment but this thread reads as one giant tantrum. Give up on your club if you want but it does say a lot about you. Personally, my love and support for AFC is unconditional. This doesn’t mean that I’m not p$ssed off beyond words, just that I’m not going to abandon them.
