The scuttle butt I had heard suggested he was pretty down on the coach late last year and through the preseason. It's a worry IMO.

Good premiership winning clubs get the best out of their best 22 players. We haven't. We just lose them.
It's a definite pattern

Are you joking putting Stringer amongst that list. Matty Boyd was retiring anyhow, and Adams ...mmmmm

Stringer was apparently unmanageable. It turns out that another club can manage him just fine.
And Adams talk of a fresh start when he left could have been ripped straight from Dahl and Rough's playbook.
Biggs another who prematurely retired as he couldn't get motivated.
Now Jong can't handle footy anymore...
And there is a host of players playing nowhere near their optimum since 16. A host.
Something is wrong.

Fair dinkum that wasn't what I said. Something is wrong.
Flag winners to missing finals 3 yrs running and likely bottom 6 with a young list. Plus best 22 players regularly giving up on the club. And I'm out of order saying something is wrong?
I can tolerate your blind support of virtually everything the club does, what I don't tolerate is you taking the piss and being an obnoxious flog towards me and anyone who disagrees with you.
You are the main reason I rarely post here

Re: Jordan Roughead
At the risk of getting drawn into this, he's played all the first 14 games at the pies this year. I think he only did that twice (at most) with us. I wonder how they manage his body to get that result. It's terrific for him and them.

I can’t quote the source but I remember reading that Bevo didn’t want to give M Boyd a fairwell game - Peter Gordon personally steeped in and overruled - which does sound odd but end of 2017 season was shot.
I watched his retirement announcement and he thanked every person at the club except Bevo.

I think they’ve previously said Biggs quit/retired & Redders, Boyd & Cloke quit/retired with contracts. I’m not getting in the middle of this, especially after a win. But they have previous posts. Anyhoo, we won.

Roughy is the only one we got wrong in my humble opinion, that was due to our disrespect for the ruck position. Rough is a ver decent Blackman but we played him in ruck.

Re: Jordan Roughead
Wouldn't hurt to have him in our squad right now. Either for ruck or KPD.
