Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

Just shut down the entire board down then.

Let's just praise them for a great year instead.

That's more like it. I knew you had some positive thoughts in you.

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

There have been plenty of positive suggestions but you seem far too deep in lala land to notice them.

Why thans for the kind words TD.

By the way, might be time to change your sig. It hurts every time I read it.

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

The "be patient it will happen one" is not working either. This forum are two groups, the ones that want change as we see the issues and the other is the apathetic "she be all right mate in the long run" group.

Where is the happy medium.

Do we get blood on the sword and rid us of someone, anyone to make us feel better, if so who (not looking at you Fantasia), or do we just sit back and hope for the best as we always have done.

My views are clear, Chops and I both dont sit on the fence, tell it how it is. The time for a big culture shift is now. We all want success and see it in differing formats.

Human nature says none of us will ever be happy with what we see or get but we must take a stand and make it loud and clear that we expect more. Granted our kids are young and it will come, but at what expense.

I am very concerned about our future, I dont want to be a struglling club anymore.

We changed almost the entire coaching group last year, they'll be another change this year. Should we sack a coach every year we don't improve?

The recruiter's only had 3 drafts and we have no idea who will make it out of those players yet. The previous recruiter who was very poor has moved on. Should we sack our current recruiter to make a statement to our previous one?

Maybe we should hire someone and immediately sack him so short sighted supporters will feel better?

We took a lot of short term decisions because it was believed we could win a flag in our cyclical up period, we're paying the price for those decisions now. Most people saw this coming and were critical of tho se decisions at the time. Our drop off this session has been sharp and disappointing, but I believe we are expediting the rebuild process rather than drag it or over several season to keep supporters happy by finishing 10th.

Or of course we could sack Fantasia and the world will be right.

I don't want change for the sake of change, we did that last year. I want to fix the horrible mistake we made.

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

Unsuccessful year then, finishing 12th.
I'd be more than happy to see Fantasia on the way out, although J. McCartney's list management position may help lessen the errors of the past. If he's any good at it that is.
Our list management and drafting this year will be absolutely critical. First step is getting the early first round picks right, but we need a really good percentage of our picks this year to work out. This is a critical career defining year for Dalrymple.

Unsuccessful because of ladder pos? or capitualtion ?
I don't mind a string of very narrow losses. But to lose by so much, so many times can only boil down to three things.
Poor selection, Poor effort (Coaching or playing ) or both.

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

Clayton is more to blame for our current list / drafting more so than Dalrymple.

If that's the case you can say Clayton brought us to 3 prelims as well.
In 3 Dalrymple drafts how many hits and misses has he had?

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

Jesus mate, getting a little stale that line.
Yes and before you reciprocate with " You're to positive " line
I've been critical of our pathetic efforts.
I just don't subscribe to the pitch fork mob mentality

If you don't like it don't read it.
I was responding directly to one poster not you.
Not like I'm the only one that's thinks we need a change.

You can add poor list management as well. The coaching team can only do so much with the cattle they have. The coach's biggest issue is that he overstated the list at the start of his reign.

Agree^ also like to add the last recruiter hasn't had a lot to choose from in high draft picks due to us making 3 prelims

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

So bottom line, get rid of Fantasia and the coach and recruiter get one more year to show something.

Is that what people want?

I am actually not wanting to sack anyone I want to see how Jason McCartneys choices work out in his first year. They say he is great with recognising talent.

You can probably divide what people want into a couple categories:

1. Those that want to get rid of Fantasia and McCartney immediately;
2. Those that want to get rid of Fantasia immediately and reassess McCartney's position at the end of next year.

Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.

Anyone read in the Sun today about a potential board spill due the the unsatisfactory heavy losses?

Is that just a reporter making a story or is their facts involved?

Page 80. Comment section of super ladder. No detail, I just found it strange to read it in such a throw away manner. John Anderson is the author.
