We lost Crameri for unders and got Zerrett who is a better player already. We lost Ryder for unders and gained Langford/Laverde. Laverde has shown he'll be better than Ryder and a powerhouse mid. We need to break even on the Carlisle one and we have done as best we can. Every single club will be cha...

Retired - Fletch, Chappy, Winderlich Delisted - Kav, Aylett, Steinberg/Pears, Long, Hams, Kommer, Dalgleish FA - Stanton - let him go and hopefully someone gives up some money. If no takers, then either minimum chips or sayonara. Carlisle - if he stays then ok, if he goes another mid please. Kommer ...

How can you be optimistic when the club has pulled their pants down and said anybody want a turn, this is all too hard.

It'll be more by dumb luck than anything else but this industry is full of incompetent people succeeding by magical stars aligning.

Our position has been assumed.

We need to somehow get some dignity and stand up. May take 3-5 years and another cleanout.

The fact that these guys have alienated Bomber and Hird in under 12 months speaks volumes.

Now we have guys like Little, Campbel, Xavier left who we don't give 2 f**** about and wan't make any difference to our success.

If you are an employee you'd be running away from the joint.

I'm done. After sleeping terribly over it I emailed the club today: Subject: please cancel my membership - effective immediately …and please don’t call asking me why…you already know the answer…unless of course Paul Little calls me himself….then I will happily speak with him. I though I could never...

In the space of 8 months LIttle has killed both Bomber and Hird at the EFC.

WOW.

Agree, we can't have a captain on the verge of a breakdown in the middle of it. Love Jobe but poor leadership. When has he EVER shown poor leadership? did you see him play this year? He did not want to be there. He was thinking of quitting the game. You can't lead a football club and take a break t...

When is it going to be? I can't see us playing finals for another 5 years. Clubs will be picking our carcass for the next few years. 2021 if we are lucky. We'll have to wait until we stockpile enough kids and hopefully keep them. We need to also nail about 3 drafts in a row but we've struggled to na...

No point in removing the board now.

The club is going to be a basket case for the next 5 years. You might as well keep the same clowns on to wear the brunt and then move them on we have a stockpile of talent.

Maybe Hird makes a comeback as CEO in 5 years to pick the club off the ground?

I'd be staggered if we get 50k next year.

Doesn't really matter. Its the next coach after that we care about.

The new coach will want to gut the playing list and get a 3-5 year rebuild happening.

After a few years the supporters will hound him out.

Might as well just jave assistants filtering through until we can win 8+ games.

1 bad season where everythings gone wrong.. WADA, injuries, blah..

and what does the Board do. Succumb to media pressure. Weak pricks.

Got a feeling we'll see a bit of movement from a few players. We are in worse trouble then Carlton. Player managers and clubs will be picking the carcass.

Stanton was sweeping back for us.

Hindsight crap from Rohan. We acknowledged we fell behind and have been playing catchup the last 3 years. We've built a new facility, hired the most expensive coaches, increased footy department spending and tried to get back up to the top. ASADA hit, its all gone belly up and then the same old clic...

Last year when Hird returned, we hid him away and bent over to the AFL and the baying media. It showed weakness at our club and they have hunted since. As soon as Hirds suspension ended he should have been in the box next to Bomber and coaching from the sidelines. What a disgraceful effort but our c...

I think Hirds been shown up as a bit of an average coach TBH. Any side playing Goddard, Heppell, Hooker, Carlisle, Baguely,Stanton, Hibberd should be competitive. The only thing saving Hird now, ironically is WADA. There is some truth that a change of coach would not improve performances. Don't lik...

Agree. Not sure if Hird is mentally broken.. Not sure if the players are mentally stuffed beyond repair. We need to sit back let them just battle it out this year the best they can. Hopefully the WADA thing ends this year and see how they go next year. Not sure anyone can recover from the last 3 yea...

As expected.

Not much that can be done with the side we have out there and guys that can't run. Too many coming back from injury. Too many duds. The arse end has fallen out.

Close your eyes, 3 more games and then we can hopefully regroup.
