When i see stupidity like what i saw last night *With my own eyes* and didnt have someone else telling me about it... i know the club is on the wrong path.
When you have a percentage of 70.. and have sustained this incredible percentage for 4 years...
When the club has wasted draft picks in the past... not used them and were where we are now...
when the AFL takes them off us and the coach complains about it as a reason for us being shit..
And when we have them in our hands and just dont do whatever it takes.
The club does not understand the value of the draft and that saddens me.
It saddens me to know that this club has never used the draft system properly and still has not learnt its value as a tool.
No stone should have been left unturned to make sure we SALVAGE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL from this shocking season so this time there is a legacy from this most horrible year.
I reckon the club has lost its way with the new AFL .. were a powerful VFL club that just cant adapt to all this new stuff.
Like my grandparents trying to use a computer... we really just dont have the nouse to go forward.
Unfortunately we also have a lot of supporters who dont get it either.
But we will get it... boy are we going to "get it"...

Hold on Synbad. You have stated here - and not that long ago - that the club knows where it is at, it does the right thing and knows what needs to be done. And suddenly they are idiots...
And you can not answer my question what they should have done differently in order to avoid winning. Only that Campo should have played in the middle.... as if that would have changed anything.
I have always agreed with you in regard to that we need picks for long term gain, but there are certain things in live you can't "fix" and then blaming the club the way you do is crap.
I think you and a couple of other posters have become so caught up in the PP logic (with which most of the posters do agree with) that you are loosing perspective and sense of reality. There was no way we could have not won that game last night and any completely contrived action by Pagan would have got us another spanking by the AFL and/or would have damaged our young players.
