    Re: Post-flag plummet was always possible

    Rotating premiership assistant coaches out of their roles, into new rules for their development and not necessarily the players development.

    The Stringer fiasco.

    Our PR has been really poor. Our messaging from basic things, to senior positions, to an extent articulating how and why we were moving on Stringer lacked precision.

    Managing the alleged tension between JMac & Dal. JMac quit, and despite Dal having this year under contract he's now at Sydney.

    This could be filed under retain senior officials too.

    Injuries. I'm not sold our team has done or is doing enough. Especially ACL injuries.

    Amazed at some who still buy the rubbish the club is selling.

    List management too. We've not cut hard enough, retained sub par players, signed back up players (nearly never selected) and now we've got a huge cut or too ahead (which makes careful management harder).

    Telling the bannerman to piss off ... after he'd rejuvenated a tired medium to the club's benefit.

    Not spiritedly enough defending the premiership on field.
    In 33 games since the premiership, losing 18 and now being completely impotent to even kick goals. 2 goals vs Adealide. 7 goals in 6 quarters against Collingwood (0) and Melbourne (7). 9 goals in 10 quarters over 3 weeks is embarrassing.

    Re: Post-flag plummet was always possible

    Nothing above tells me the club is a joke. Most of what has been posted is really minor stuff, and if we were winning no one would bat an eyelid.

    No one is happy with the onfield performance, but off field we are a strong club.

    Which is moot if we continue to go further into a downward spiral and we will. On and off the field we are a joke. The AFL world laughs at us and rightly so.

    I wouldn't say joke - it's just really disappointing to be treated with such condescension as a supporter in light of the continual garbage being dished up on the field.

    Not sure off the field the club is a joke
    Would have thought to turn the clubs finances and sponsors like they have is a joke
    On field we’ve been embarrassing two years after a flag . The club needs to stick to one message to the fan base .

    I think about the off field stuff like once or twice a month. I think about the on field stuff like a month's worth of thoughts in one day.

    I'm not worried about Turtles comments. No one had a crystal ball at the start of 17. Why would you sell caution to the members off the back of a flag when you can sell optimism, more memberships and merchandising.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Re: Post-flag plummet was always possible

    I've been a member since 81 and I've never been happier with where the club sits. Since 2014, 2 X VFL, 1 X AFL, 1 X AFLw premierships, no debt, profitable, record membership, great alliance with Ballarat, Mercedes, Mission and others, our vice president was integral in a deal to get Disney involved in docklands ( which will hopefully benefit us), a brilliant young CEO in Ameet who is very impressive; not to mention the amazing work done in the sons of the west and multicultural programs driven by the club. To suggest we are a joke or thought of as such doesn't have a factual basis and is more suitably written in rubbish newspapers and particular forums (not the fine folk of woof) where contemptuous armchair warriors rail against the club. Im not suggesting we are perfect, The failed Edgewater project, the sad departure of Jake and that abomination of a jumper yesterday is proof of that, however I think from a big picture point of view we are in the strongest position Ive seen in my days supporting the club which makes me very proud to support the red white and blue. ��⚪��
