[LPH]

No comment.

Ronny's a top bloke.

You know him well then?

Me thinks not

[holden78]

Wow , so insightfull TiggerPiss , were hanging on your every word ! Anyway , Ive enjoyed your thoughts Wedgie , good stuff . Pity our President feels so insecure that he has to speak of FootySAs " rubbish " ; maybe Mickj its a simple case of the truth hurts ! Im still waiting for any Fuller apologists out there to honestly tackle my 3 points on page 1 of this thread . Obviously too hard when your confined to answers without B S .

When the topic is BS, the answers will generally be BS too.

wasnt Fuller going to leave after the 2006 season, but the Eagles won the flag and he decided to stay on????

[sturtpeter]

Let's just say I've met Ronny personally and he's a total gentleman.

[Mickyj]

people have short memories.... we were a laughing stock after four GF defeats ..... Ron took us to the top... most coaches cant bounce back from what he went through

I would be an extremely angry member if the club pushed him out

Besides there a few options to replace him.......

Perhaps James you forget that he lost many of those GF'S the biggest by what a lazy 126 points !!
And I will keep saying the one victory might have been due to his 2 assistants !!
Could we get one back to oval ave ?

YES

How any player can get inspired listening to Fuller is beyond me...

3 points need to be made here:

1. TigerBoss... your comments are unwarrented & quite frankly foolish, I assume by your stance (re: BS Topic) that you believe that your club has ALL the answers after 10 years in the wilderness about how to go about rebuilding & marketting to INCREASE your supporter base... as for sacking a coach, you've had plenty of opportunities to do that in the past decade & never failed to deliver

2. My understanding is that one Assistant Coach went to a club that was struggling, took them to the finals in 2007 & are currently in top 2, with standing room only on the 'bandwagon'... He went there basically because Ronnie stayed on & in doing so WENT BACK ON HIS WORD & now we find ourselves (that is WWTFC) with onfield problems... Coincidence Mr. Club President???

3. The same Club President coming out & bagging supporters for venting their UTTER FRUSTRATION WITH THE CLUB over its handling/management of the club is quite frankly, LAUGHABLE!!!
Newsflash Mr. President... 2000 Members (of which I would hazzard a guess, 70%+ can remember Torrens' 1953 Premiership (some even earlier) & Woodville's '63 Reserves Team) is a MAJOR ISSUE for the long term future of the club.

What is His & the Board's answer to this PROBLEM & the future DIRECTION of our club?

P.S. Thanks Wedgie for the support... without passion, what is there?

And to repost what I have written in other topics and not exactly what I have written before .The two assistants to Ron have created a top team from a bottom team .We as WWTFC let them go at the end of 2006 it is now biting the club on the behind.
Ron now has problems with former SANFL players coaching in the SANFL
like Jars,tim etc.He can not out coach them they know what he will do .
For me Collins must be a shoe in to win this week .
And No LEH I dont remember the 53 flag
Perhaps the members should make a show at Thebbie all 2000 of us should be there .And no I do not mean abusing the team .Show up be strong and show the board when we are not happy at another LOSS!!

[Mickyj]

I was told there was a post on what I thought about Ron in 2006.I know that the sever went down as did it at my work .[
So those that have very long memories will recall that I stood up for Ron in 2006 .There was at the time a small group of fans at the game between Glenelg and Eagles .Who from the start of the game were getting stuck into Ron and the club .The final straw for me was when they started to cheer for glenelg .I howled at them that my club did not need fans like themselves and to bugger off.I was prepared to give Ron and Co a chance as front line players were out injured .
I was however in 2006 still not over that huge grandfinal loss.
Well yes I have changed my tune in 2 years.No future planing or thinking at the end of 2006.No recruiting guys in 2006 to step up in 2008 and take over.2008 recruits going home just after the start of the year.No replacement in the wings for Pedler a big hole left in the backline .No plan B when plan A kick the ball to Passador Fails .
The team plays like champs one week and the next 3 weeks like parkland footballers no motivation etc etc.
I could go on but I wont
I hope that answers the querry!!

Yes 3 excellent points LEH , but my gut feeling on this thread topic is that the final decision is always going to be Rons & his alone . He has next year contracted , so the board wont drop maybe $40k to part ways , its not going to happen . If Ron makes the call for obvious reasons then a fresh start is on . We can still make something of the year but it has to click from this week in a big big way ! I just sense that the tipping point for Ron will be finals , & not getting there may be the trigger in his mind for a fresh challenge . One of my most trusted sources tells me his thirst for footy is as big as ever & hes at a happy stage of his life , so Id say the major failure this year to do the business could see him seek a new position elsewhere . This week poor Westies wont really give us too much indication as to us getting to play finals , as they lose to everyone , therefore they are really almost a bye with points !

See Holden I could never get it confirmed if he had another year.as he was supposed to have signed a 2 yr deal at the end of 06.

[Barto]

Five year contract. Now.

So fellow Eagles , has anything changed after a rather poor win ( if there is such a thing & I think there is after watching that game ) . Honestly , Ive witnessed far better trial games then that , but it keeps things interesting for another week . The whisper around the terraces was that the hierarchy of the club have indeed reconciled our much debated onfield areas of weakness , & with coach , agreed on the type of recruits needed re next year . Who knows whether we will see A grade ones like Lindsay , or D grade like Biagi . Stay tuned later in the year , it promises to entertain ! The real obvious names ie. Skippy , Jacobs & Biglands are there for all to see , but for my money ( 50c ) it will be the hard grafted little known type of player we can & must dig up to get back into the mix . I thought we had one in Mackie , who despite being raw , had clear potential as an onballer in years to come . Why did he leave ? Why wasnt he given the backing to play game after game like some others eg. Fairy ? We know just by talking to senior ex players that Ronnie loves his favorites . Maybe disenchantment over many years is part to blame for our lack of sustained good play . Coaches much like politicians all have a life span directly relating to getting the message across & once thats lost , your days are numbered !

I think the club needs on ballers who can get in and under .Plus a number one ruckman and CHB Fullback with some height.
