- athletes >>>>>>>>> footballers
- has set up our system completely wrong for the players he's got in his squad, and refuses to recognise that
- looks for excuses left, right & centre in an attempt to avoid any blame for anything
- wouldn't bother with coaching if he didn't get his kicks from the whole media game that he prides himself on
- the year after the grand final win he came out saying "finally, i've got the team set up how i want it" and we finished dead last.
- was the wrong choice from the start
Does it say more about the club (who hire the coaches) or about us fans (who bag the shit of them) that your summary of GVE could also apply pretty accurately to Branko, with the obvious exception of the post-grand final comment and taking into account the fact that Big B probably did favour footballers over athletes?Quote:

your favourite player is more of an athlete than a footballer, you should be happy with that facet of gve's management.Quote:

I'm not pretending I know what it's like in training or the dressing room but I'm honest about that and don't make assumptions about what it's like in there
yesQuote:

he changes so if it comes off he can shower himself with praise for masterminding it. he changes for the sake of letting his players know that it is not their team, it is his team, and he has complete control. he plays the oppositions game, rather than his own, and every decision is determined by what the opposition do. he also genuinely gets off by telling people he'll do one thing, and completely doing the opposite (perfect example in a jets scenario was "taylor regan is definately the first person on the team sheet next week" only to not feature). so yes, egomaniac if i had to sum it all up in one word.
the thing about all these minor little details that gets me though - gve was probably thinking before the last coast game "arnie is on of my best mates (fact) & i've been talking up james virgili for weeks to him now. he's going to suspect i'll play virgili on right wing, just like last time, and he'll be focusing more on containing him & not letting him do a heskey-goal run like last time" where graham arnold's thoughts were probably "fxxx me, i hope pasfield doesn't embarrass us. we'll miss rogic too. i'll put the best possible replacement players for ryan & rogic's respective positions in their place, and we'll see how it goes from there. none of my starting back four are injured - cool. probably need to tell the boys that they should probably expect more high balls than normal & to keep their wits about them around heskey".
pv4 outs himself as graham arnold
GVE out !.
Why ?. Results man results. Don't care that he has the following issues :
Pubic hair on top
The Tinker man
Perhaps a " I am " attitude.
All means SFA at the end of the day.
Only thing that matters and being a sport are the numbers. His W D L stats are f*&^ing deplorable at best. Take out the season we won and just how bad would those %'s really look.
Did not set the world on fire at the AIS either for that matter.
Like Nick Ward, living off the glory of being a one season wonder. The fact that many of us go along to games expecting to be smacked says enough about how this team is managed.
And those selections for the final game in Sydney last season when only a point needed, what the F^&k were they about ????????????????????.
I was about to say how much I agree with you about this..Quote:

So true. Even the year we won it we were expected to come last or close to it. 26-1 from memory?Quote:

Clarkey's pretty shit when he's not scoring hundreds tho

The McBreen 2nd goal and Dodd's 2nd goal last weekend show the complete lack of leadership from our senior brigade. The Dodd goal was scored with Heskey Mitchell and Tiago in close attendance to deal with it and none made the effort.
We have a young squad and our core group of senior players are not pulling their weight and leading the team about in these tough times. It is no good hanging the likes of Oxborrow out to dry for a **** up when Mitchell goes unpunished for 3 needless penalties conceeded in the last 5 games. Whats worse is he only played in 3 and a bit of them due to Send off/suspension. What type of environment is GVE instilling particularly witrh a young squad when a young kid gets hooked (JESSIE PINTO STYLE) after making an error yet Mitchell makes error after error and retains his spot in the side every week???
One of the worst aspects of our senior players is that we can lament the likes of Chilli not scoring on the break last week yet Tarago Mitchell don't look like keeping a clean sheet and yet we still persevere with these blokes despite them so abjectly failing in what is their JOB
Jobe isn't the worse captain in the world and to me despite not being the my choice to lead the club has done a more than fair to very good job. The rest of the blokes though who should be providing the leadership at the club aren't.
GVE needs to start rectifying this by bringing in a Lljubo /Jacob Burns like figure or replacing the older players with blokes who are secondary leaders who will lead by example.
Also Zads needs to be let off the ****ING LEASH. Who cares if he gets red carded or booked repeatedly. Let him loose and fire us the **** up.
Lets have a better look at this.Quote:

I think Taylor's sister or cousin (or something) was sitting behind me near the away tunnel against the Gypos. One of them was complaining a bunch about him having to rot in the youth and it was about time he got his chance because he works his arse off.
he's from dudley/redhead. pretty sure she was both his sister & his cousin.Quote:
