    Negativity On The Club. A good thing?

    From what I've been reading, seeing in polls and peoples comments at work. It seems there is the majority of people see this as stuffing up our chances for the rest of the year. But I'm starting to see it as a positive.

    It has been said on here before, I'm sick of being everyones 'second' team. I'm sick of every year people saying they hope we can make the Grand Final or think we have a chance to.

    Now with Aker gone people are saying we have no chance in September. We have a somewhat negative image now and let's use it to break the drought and prove all these nay Sayers wrong!

    P.s. Sorry if any spelling errors or grammer errors as I'm posting this from my iPhone which has been shitting me lately with the new o/s4 making my phone slower then ever.

          I guess how we react will viewed with interest outside the football club.

          St.Kilda have had to deal with a fair bit on & on the field this season, but their campaign is still on track.

              Frankly I'd rather my club sacked a rapist and gone off track then defend him and be on track. Lyon has zero credibility as a human being if he thinks playing Milne is kosher, and who cares if he wins a premiership.

              Football lost its perspective a long time ago.

                  I think the media are hiding it.

                      This is a very good point.

                              It may well, but we were left no other option and it needed to be done.

                                      On the radio today I heard an irate opposition supporter claiming that the Dogs 'used to be everybody's second team, but not anymore!!!'

                                      Seriously, like we care. I'm kind of sick of us being people's second team.

                                      I think we play some of our best footy with our backs against the wall, underdogs and all of that. All we can do is hope that the team on Sunday comes out as a united front and wins the game.

                                          Well, you're a 50% chance of being correct...
                                          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                              I dont think this is going to go away for the rest of the season. This potentialy could really hurt the doggies!! I hope not!!

                                                  I think and hope that it will make us better and go all the way.

                                                      I finally found a media outlet that praised us, rather then put their boots in.

                                                      On foxtel's Afl teams, Brian Taylor, Tony Shaw, David Parkins and Rohan Smith all bagged Aker and were united in saying the dogs didn't have another choice. They also believed it will unite the group.

                                                          I'll say it before and I'll say it again -- I'm neither here nor there about the decision itself, but if it takes something external/extraordinary like this to 'unite' a group that is supposedly in with its best shot at a premiership then we might as well pack it in now. If last year's prelim final wasn't a big enough kick up the butt then this won't make any difference whatsoever. People are pointing to our supposed improved form in the last 6 weeks, well, we still fell over the two times we were seriously challenged. It's all very well and good to beat up on teams that are no good, but September isn't made up of bottom 8 teams.
