#5 Elijah Tsatas (Part 2)

Men of outstanding moral fibre and guys you just have to build a club around

We’re talking about Hind and Stringer here aren’t we? Just so there’s no confusion and smoke and mirrors behind the windows.

Yup

I don’t think more senior guys having stern words to younger players would be all that uncommon.

It’s also equally on young players to sort wheat from the chaff. I reckon you’d take on board any feedback on standards from Merrett or Goldstein, but Stringer and Hind?

If that was the case. Why wouldn’t you drop them both for being flogs? Why would you keep playing them week after week?

I thought Brad standards Scott was trying to build the team and wouldn’t take shortcuts

What a mess this club is

Fwiw, I hope Tsatas gets a trade and goes to another club and he kills it

No idea, and I don’t disagree.

But I would say punting them out of the club completely was pretty telling.

Gee what a surprise that someone is saying that it was because they told some ‘home truths’ to other players rather than the numerous other issues both presented to the club at different times.

I have heard similar things from someone who was associated in a role in the VFL program. He is supposedly arrogant and rude and doesn’t engage with the VFL people. Although not ideal and you want all your players to be respectful. I mentioned if we can fix his kicking and he can be an arrogant, explosive elite mid, i’d be prepared to put up with a FIGJAM attitude. Think we need to have people who can football over being school captain. Not sure he is either at the moment but would like to give him a decent run to make a proper determination.

To be clear, this feedback was provided last year. No idea if anything has changed.

Not mad at this, can’t have nice guy’s all over the club. Need some with a bit of ■■■■ in them. If that rubs people the wrong way, so be it, as long as his game does the talking.

Yea, I agree.

I probably downplayed this. Grain of salt 'n all for you guys, I understand. But my guy has never fwd me anything wrong. If he said it about Tsatas then it’s true. Has given me a tonne of info over the years, and free memberships for a while too haha

Don’t know how he got such an inflated opinion of himself, when he can’t even kick the ball properly.

Plenty of young guys who have been talked up in their youth develop the fig jam attitude. You just hope they can back it up on the field where it’s an asset rather than a detriment. Learning a bit of humility as they mature would also be a good thing.

You don’t be a smart ass about people no longer here. And make jokes about how they died

One had to go and would’ve retired anyway.
The other well , he was made an example of even though there are plenty of party boys who don’t train hard enough. And in all honesty it’s been the best thing that happened to him

Just say what happened and name the players, you don’t need to speak in code.

They were named earlier. And not hard to work out who died

I’ve heard the same from a pretty reliable source.
