It will lead to further criticisms.Don't feed the fire.

Winning. The club knows this.At the moment we have no voice or credibility and unfortunately we just have to grin and bear it.Even when we get pulverized and bullied all night and yet the first hard tackle we lay gets pinged for being dangerous. Even when clear marks are disallowed. Even when the opposition handballs it directly out of bounds but the umpire is in the wrong spot to see. Even when every other club kicks out over the line in practically every game yet we get penalized twice in the one game.Winning doesn’t just bring respect, it brings privileges.True

Their are many who already think that with the expansion clubs the slices of the pie are too thin, and that the pie isn't capable of growing to a sustainable level.Do you think Sheedy would blink twice at a bigger slice of the AFL pie for CheatsFC if it came from a Carlton evaporation? No doubt in public he'd say one thing, how bad it was for the game, how tragic for the fans, but privately he'd be heating things up to ensure it happened even faster.

Wins, nothing but wins will stop that.Do i think that Sheedy.....I don't give a flying rats tossbag what sheedy thinks, or anyone else in the media.The time for talking is long passed. Talking offers ammunition to the media, and most of the time it infuriates our own supporters.Keep your head down and focus on what the club can do to fix the problem we are in, and not what Sheedy or anyone else thinks.
