Something seriously wrong with the club (Part 2, March 2022)

if the looney fans are this incensed the average fan is just going to be disinterested.

Probably should not follow then, seems counter-productive to everyone Here’s health.

Surely everyone could find something else to bond in saltiness iver, may I suggest Star Wars?

I know they’re aware and pay attention to Bigfooty and Reddit; Blitz would be no exception.

You just have to be careful not to speak too harshly about the players’ efforts, for you could hurt their feelings.

What an odd comment, it’s not like I’m claiming anything particularly important lol

I’d hope the marketing department of a sports club would be monitoring what fans are saying about the club. That’s kind of their job.

The issue i have at the moment is trying to find a positive out of this year so far, i really try to be a silver lining type of person but this is tough.

Nick Martin - great pick up
Hobbs - looked good in his first game, why pick him to play him in the forward line.
Wright - his first four weeks of form.

That’s about it, this sucks, really had my hopes up after last year, hope Rutten smashes them on the park.

Hawthorn had a terrible performance last week, got told to bring the mouthguards through the week, beat the team that destroyed us.

Do Something!!!

I can claim people show up to essendon football club to do their job and collect pay cheques.

wow what a non sequitur.

Fair.

But also, this.

Here is a club that doesn’t have away reserved seating and if you are an AFL Member you don’t get the josh Mahoney vids yet they are happy to take the percentage of money from our total afl membership fee.

Plenty of people have claimed that in here.

Are you saying that is based on no evidence?

If you read Facebook comments, many sound like us. If 20k people are leaving games at 3qtr time, it sounds like many here.

Point I’m trying to make is it’s not just Blitzers who are losing the plot at the moment. The supporters are fed up.

So nothing recent then?

With respect, I find culture just seems to materialise after you start winning.

The playing group does have talent but not sure there is anyone who is getting the best out of them. Rance did wonders to our defence, turned the group into timid donkeys, and I reckon those two highly lauded assistants in Cara and Gia are not doing their future prospects much good.

Remember past Bomber captains who led by example, Jobe, Lloyd, Hird, Thompson, Timmy, and about the best TD.

Is 6months ago not recent?

I’m.not sure that conflicts either way. The point was that he was wanted and there was an attempt to poach him.

The ā€œAFL CEO isn’t a role of good reputationā€ argument was far more compelling lol

You know which game is going to be the worst of them all Carlton.

Those fcks are going to pump us by 10 goals and embarss us on our 150 year celebration.

Curnow and McKay will kick 5 each and guys like Walsh and Cripps will get 40 dispsoals each with 3 goals to thier names

Actually, the bigger underdogs we go into that game, the bigger our chance of winning.

The blues hate expectation more than we do.

with respect have you ever worked at an organisation where the culture has 180’d from ā– ā– ā– ā–  to good?
