I'm endorsing Molsey and Sydney Blues comments....if there is an increase in negative comments its commensurate with the clubs performance..
The Fitzroy supporters sat back, prayed, rubbed beads, chanted and hoped things would get better and let the club slip away......at least while we have proactive supporters who take the navy blue glasses off and who care enough to ask the hard questions I know we still have a decent club and thats a positive....
We want people posting what they think, not posting to be popular......
absolute crap - Fitzroy fought hard and got done by dirty deals by the AFL (who should have been assisting them) and by other clubs. If the climate was the same and the AFL treated all clubs the way they treated Fitzroy then Nth, Melbourne, Richmond and probably Carlton in iuts present state, would all be gone.
What are you talking about... the climate is the same...Kangas are being pushed North and roll over everytime the AFL tell them too...Geoff Walsh hasnt bailed from North and taken a demotion at Collingwood for nothing... and we are in semi receivership with the AFL running the club and they have us by the gonads...get the Navy Blue Glasses off and wake up.
What did Fitzroy do.....rattle tins, sell their players?
If Fitzroy had have received some of the money Nth, etc recieve they'd still be running around. We may complain about the AFL influence in Carlton but at least we are still here, still Carlton
FDitroy tried many things ,including the Board and some members risking much money on the pub and other ventures and to this day due to the hard work of the board and of the supporters it may still exist in its true form except that a heap of votes went missing and no one seems to know what happened to them. the bloke they should have been delivered to still has no idea what happened but that vote would have kept the club going rather than seeing it fold.
Its so easy for you to say 'rattle some tins' but their supporters worked their arses off but they were working against the wishes of the AFL and they died. Even when they found a way (via Nth) of keeping themselves at their home, they lost. They were given no choices and minimal help.
