Maybe having some nice training facilities has made them a bit soft?
having a gym with real weights instead of woolies bags full of stones should have surely done the trick by now.
How are ya barks?

Especially when we could have bought out some golf club and gone into debt to the tune of $50-60 Mill and still ended up with the same standard facilities !!clarky449 wrote:Yeah we are losing because the move to seaford. FFS saints why move into this new, 21st century, multi million dollar facility.
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Actually ... look what happened when the Pies moved to the Lexus Centre. When the Hawks moved to the Waverley Park training base.
Both teams fell away for a couple of years.
Moving from a second-rate facility -- with tons of atmosphere and familiarity -- may not be all it's cracked up to be. Moving in the middle of the pre-season is indisputably disruptive. The team may still have some adjusting to do.

No he wasn't mostly,he's usually pretty good. Just let's himself down when he let's that extraordinary ego take over and then that bitter little ex girlfriend attitude comes out. That shot at Ross about inheriting a great list was pathetic...one he failed to take to a grand final and was going backwards he should of addedBigMart wrote:Was he off the mark......as a commentator??
Still backed ross to deliver, still backed the players.....outlined obvious issues, perhaps did not go hard enough....
Bring back the Lockett era
Did ross not take over a great list....80% of the gf teams were on it....
Lost gehrig, harvey, hamill, voss, thompson some delistings....maguire, allen, clarke, watts all suffered career ending injuries
Got gardiner, schnieder, king, dempster, ray, peake, dawson from other clubs
on 2007 list
Riewoldt, hayes, goddard, montagna, fisher, montagna, dal santo, gilbert, gram, koschitzke, ball, milne, raph, hudghton, gwilt
Hard pressed not to succeed with that core

Great looking new facilities, but a lot more travel time for both players and staff.
Pools looks far too small, no facility to dry out boots after training on wet days, car park too small.
As with the recruiting, game plan and player refreshment, lack of attention to detail is costly and not easily fixed.

I just wonder how much this travelling to Seaford is getting in the players heads, as I reckon a lot of them would be living up close to the CBD and would be reluctant to move down the road. I used to travel from Elwood to Chelsea to rehearse with a band a couple of times a week and that started getting to me after a couple of months and I reckon me travelling a few more suburbs down the road to Seaford would have broke the camel's back a lot earlier.
Oh C'mon spert, it is their workplace. They kick a footy around for big bucks and they cant drive 30 minutes to their workplace?spert wrote:I just wonder how much this travelling to Seaford is getting in the players heads, as I reckon a lot of them would be living up close to the CBD and would be reluctant to move down the road.

Bloody precious princesses if thats the case.

it'd piss me right off if i'd bought a nice house in brighton, and i was used to driving ten minutes down the road to and from work. now all of a sudden i'm driving forty-five minutes twice a day, along the nepean which isn't exactly the most enjoyable drive, going through about a hundred traffic lights.
i've left a job for exactly this reason in the past. wouldn't be surprised if some of the boys were considering it. or considering moving house - but who wants to live in patterson lakes? or franga?
