Fickle fans = Adelaide 36ers (or the ones on hear)

Stephon, its time for everyone to stop crapping on about how its Smyth's fault for failing to attract players like Ingles and Newley. You admitted it yourself and I thoroughly agree with you about the question on whether good young players will choose to play in Adelaide. That also applies to any good players, young and old. It is their choice not to come to Adelaide, not Smyth failing to dangle a decent carrot. The club with all its controversy during the off season made it most unattractive for anyone to sign here. For a start, the complete team was signed before a buyer was announced. How did they know what the new buyer had in mind for the team and whether it would suit their situation. How did they know that it was going to be a secure purchase that would allow them to safely sign for multiple years. I believe Adelaide was only handing out 1 year contracts. I know Dusty was looking for more security than just 1 more season with Adelaide. 2 plus an option year with Brisbane was far more attractive. If you look at the new recruits we got this year, you would see that they are the type of players that would have been happy with 1 year. Wheeler, with his injury history, no one else would have touched him. 1 year to see if he could make it injury free would be the best he could hope for. Copeland at 41 years of age is coming to the end of his career. 1 year at a time at this late stage would be ideal. Horvath, a new import, always given 1 year initially. Good players, without an injury history and youth on their side wants more.

Sorry to labour the point but its hard to take the opinion of someone seriously when they can't get simple spelling or grammer right.

I don't want perfection but hear/here aint complicated.

Call me a smart arse/pedantic/a wanker - whatever. It still sticks - if you want to be taken seriously or if you want people to read your post,start withthe basics.

How Much Can A Koala Bare?

We've been 36ers fans for a long time and have'nt missed a game in 7 years. The lethargy shown by the players is something we have'nt seen in all the years. Something is very wrong somewhere!! We drive 45 minutes to see a game. If our team worked as hard as The Dragons and showed as much energy we would have enjoyed our ride home even with a loss!
