Wazza and player interviews were pathetic. Childish questions to the players. None of the questions we all would have liked - what we are doing, where are we going etc.. No audience involvement. Hate to think what the MC is paid. Impressed with Paddy, good speaker, easy to talk to. Left early, won't be back.

I only chatted with Eugene and he was a bit coy when I pushed the point, re: what happened the last few weeks and what's going on behind the scenes He did take full responsibility for his errors against Brisbane, I mentioned that I've seen referees give a foul when a keeper gets breathed on, Eugene said it was no foul, he just wasn't strong enough at the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing CFG don't seem to get is that success needs to come on the field before people will respond to off-field stuff like this. The atmosphere at the Perth match was funereal.

They should be commended for doing it, in fact they have done great work off the field so far. They probably booked it weeks in advance and probably didnt forsee Wazza fucking things up so bad.

I'm not sure it's Wazza. What's going on behind the scenes could be coming from a number of sources - other people in the management or coaching staff (already one departure there this week), Timmy stirring the pot, players unhappy that they aren't in the team, general concern over poor results... Could be lots of stuff. And yes, Wazza might have kicked a few arses or put noses out of joint because he wants to do things a different way. But isn't that what was needed, given the sense of complacency we felt had grown during the previous regime? I suspect were going to have quite a bit more turmoil yet before it all settles down.

Agree 100%. Personally, I don't feel like fan/community interaction should be at all dependent on the on-field results, if we end up having a shocker for the rest of the season should the club just completely insulate itself from the fanbase? The low turnout and atmosphere at the event would definitely be a result of our current struggles but I don't think everyone should suffer just because some people won't turn out (whether they're right or wrong to do it) unless we're winning Edited November 28, 2017 by Embee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'd def make the effort to come down if it was on a Friday or Saturday, it's just all a bit hard on a 'school night'. I kinda feel guilty for not going tbh because im a massive advocate for these sorts of things, but its a hard one to justify to come down for from the Rat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I was borderline to go but it was basically because of the time and other shit going on. These things need to be done and continue in spite of results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things need to be done and continue in spite of results. I didn't actually say that these things should not be done. What I said, or tried to say, is that the response is not likely to be enthusiastic when results are the way they are for us, and in the midst of what appear to be some off-field issues. I'm sure that a lot of what City are trying to do off the field and with respect to how the A-League is managed would be a lot easier and productive if our on-field results were better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pretty full weeknight schedule but with a few weeks heads up I can squeeze the occasional gap. But it's better to have these functions and bitch about not being able to go than not having them and then bitching about why the club doesn't have these sort of functions. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in their effort when they train jw. For eg. If they're doing practice drills or games Wazza expects the same intensity like when they play a proper match.
