Robert Heatley Stand / Re: The GWS Gang - Will They Or Won't They ??
I wanted to keep our picks and I've seen nothing to change my mind. Most of these guys would have ended up on the GWS scrap heap by the end of next season.

Cannon fodder until some talent comes through the door but where there's life there's hope.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: A New Game plan
Dont have a decent spine or team structure yet, we are still assembling the equipment so I dont think we have reached the point where we can talk about a game plan...

x2 Hawthorn were putrid when learning the Clarkson style - once everyone was on the same page, it began working. Bolton will need friends in high places for us to show patience though

Not trying to justify wasting a billion dollars, but as carrots said, its far from unusual.

Build the link, sure, but in 10 years time it'll be just like it is now. Bandaid solution.

Rail needs a rethink to handle the extra, sure, but it can be done

How does that make it a bandaid? There's not a single bit of complicated infrastructure you build once and forget. It needs investment and updating otherwise it becomes an issue.

You get institutionalized whether you are in a losing or a winning culture - subconsciously you expect one or the other, depending on what you've mostly experienced. This will be another big challenge for Bolts and co.

Results orientation vs mastery orientation. The system is designed to eventually bring you down, you need to deal with the fact you won't win all the time. If you're playing off the thin foundation of expecting to win then when it finally catches up with you - you spend 20 years without a flag and 4 spoons to your name.

We're coming from a long way back and with some culture issues to address. No need to crap the bed before we've laid down.

You need 2 on slow burn. That's why the extras are there, otherwise you end up paying a 30+ year old ruck over a million per year like freo.

Mind you, I was not over impressed by the umpiring. They got 3 to every one we managed and some of those 50 m penalties were mysteries to everyone involved.

It was a flashback to the Geesh today. Why are they paying 50m penalties for some very technical stuff, like seagulls waiting to swoop on a hot chip, in a fecking preseason game? Just chill, tell the player to ease up and get on with it.
