What a terrible signing
What a terrible signing
What a terrible human being
It is a very odd signing, particularly given the very public struggle theyâve gone through to get him. Do they think there is some untapped mass of Celtic supporters in Melbourne that will flock to their games to see him?
I remember reading that Ross was the âreal tacticianâ a couple seasons ago with John. Of course all we see is whatâs broadcast of him, but he just strikes me as a âfire up the boysâ type assistant who constantly takes it too far.
John is a decent tactician, he showed that during his time with Fox Sports. Ross is just an ass hat. Iâd say that John probably likes to work with Ross because he figures that Ross can provide the hard-man approach on the training ground which is perhaps an attribute that John doesnât really have.
This is the biggest load of wank Iâve ever read. Should also be noted that Jim Lawrence is an ex victory fan.
Just like the RBB then, eh? Couldnât gain enough attention at their first club so run off somewhere else where it gets to be all about them.
While I really hope they get a good active group together, this feels a lot like a power trip.
âTheyâ said the same about Rado under Anger⌠âTheyâ said the same about Mehmet under Merrick⌠this gets trotted out about assistants all the time and is rarely true
âI will be the central Capo of our team but will have many lieutenants. And the leadership team we have at We Are West is fantastic. Iâm very lucky.
âI have a very clear plan that is extremely inclusive.
This is obviously all about him. Heâll be the central capo with many âlieutenantsâ, my god, talk about wanting to be important.
This is how the tyranny begins. Always.
Letâs work as a team and do it my way.
last thing the want is to be stuck with someone like JubalâŚ
Drove past Tarneit this morning (where the new stadium is supposed to be built) on my way to see family in Geelong while Iâm down here⌠it really is the middle of nowhere. A purpose-built football stadium is a fantastic idea, but if itâs not in a good location how will they fill it?
How about driving from Melbourne to Geelong, like they expect their fans to do basically indefinitely.
Purpose built, already approved (I think), PT infrastructure.
A stadium doesnât have to be in the middle of the population to be filled. As long as it is easily accessible people will go. Homebush is the perfect example of this. The location is perfect for it to be the âstadium for all of Sydneyâ. If the appropriate transport infrastructure was put in place then it is a maximum of 30-45min away for almost all of Sydneyâs population. It would also be convenient for people coming from the Central Coast or Wollongong.
Yes itâs too big and poorly designed for producing a good atmosphere for the majority of sporting events there but, including concert & festival attendees, the biggest complaint people have and the justification they use for not going there is how long, congested and difficult th commute is.
I donât think theyâre targeting Melbourne residents, are they? Heart didnât get many disaffected Melbourne fans or non-engaged Melbourne football fans so I doubt a side not from Melbourne would be able to.
The majority of their targeted supporters and marketing will be located in an area from Werribee in the east to Lorne in the west.
I dunno. Itâs called Western MelbourneâŚ
Still the working group name isnât it?
I mean, the working group name isnât âGeelongâ.
That would be quite the bait and switch, if what you say is true.
