A couple of things I'd like to say.
First I love my club and have for nearly 50 years. I'll take the ggod with the bad but we have to be allowed to voice the bad when we see it. Our own fan forum likes fluff and puff and nothing negative. That's fine but today was rubbish and must be exposed for what it was. Too many easy games not earned by players who have ridden on the back of the mantle"premiership player" for too long. Some of these blokes are being allowed a free ride. Why? If we as supporters think it can we at least be told why we are wrong. This club sends us out releases full of s--t and expects us to swallow them. Maybe in this new age they don't care any more because we ain't he Crows or Port. But our supporters love our club. I go every week and know how much we love it. Try and post any truth on our forum and you are told to pull your head in. Anyway congrats to Centrals, well coached, well disciplined and with a side suited to playing SANFL in this day and age. Norwood's game is finished. Without an outlet forward these days you are finished. Norwood apparently didn't want Butcher. Why would you want a forward who takes 7-8 marks a game. Better to play a side of midgets "cos that's what fits your game plan. Turned the ball over so much across half back with this much vaunted game plan.
That wore me out so now to the next. If Port win it is a joke. I grew up and lived with hating the prison bar jumper and the magpie emblem. Now today I'm leaving the ground and see them selling the prison bar jumper with the Power emblem above the heart, Surely any true Magpie supporter must hate this and it just shows the joke this has become.
God help the SANFL. I'm not sure I'll be caring any more next year.l
