OMG, green pants! that is so cool! I am so taking that name and if anybody copies me.... Green is my favourite colour and pants are my favourite word. (but i hate the actual thing pants)
SR I find your posts much more offensive than anything Brown-Coat has ever written. Brown-Coat does not post to defend a position and is obviously disillusioned with current but so am I.
Where is his agenda? He does not spam the same crap like B4Eva or denigrate other posters like Teflon. He does not individually sledge any Saint as responsible for us being extremely ordinary this year (thereby avoiding Stinger’s sting).
IMO RL coaches to a formula and is risk adverse … every thing I do not believe in. RL wants a team of marathon runners … good luck to him and I expect a fair few retirements this year as a result. All our power players have gone backwards this year except Kosi who has only gone forward because he has actually been relatively injury free … nonetheless he is a skeleton of the footballer who won 3 BOG’s in a row in 2005 when injury free.
Brown_Coat obviously is also not rapt with everything going on currently.
IMO our game plan is a disaster and running our players up and down the ground like basketballers is a joke. Are our last quarter fade outs due to lack of fitness or not being super humans?
RL has turned a very good team into a very ordinary unit. We have won 6 and a half games since the break with only 2 losses. Sounds good except that we have had a draw we could only dream of in previous years and the teams we have beaten are Richmond (16th), Carlton (14th), Fremantle (13th), West Coast (during their run of 2 wins in 7 games), Adelaide (during their run of 2 wins in 8 games) and the draw was against the Doggies (during their run of 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in 5 games). The only game which has any vague resemblance of form is against the Hawks.
Some of us are genuinely pissed off with the crap dished up this year and I really don’t think your/RL’s theories work. Power players are extremely important (not just marathon runners) and the current game plan is destroying them at the Saints (IMO) … even Grammy is now looking ordinary.
Every premiership coach since 1995 has taken his team from outside the finals to the finals in his first year of coaching. If the Crows win today RL will have achieved exactly the opposite. A good coach maximizes the talents of his list. RL has shown this year that he puts his ideas before the list and he has ignored Casey form all year.
SR do you want to kick out everyone who does not think the same as you? Who is more dangerous … Brown-Coat and me or you and your ideas? IMO you don’t have a clue what you are talking about but I respect you are entitled to your opinion. You should be the same without trying to get rid of those with opposing views.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
