So much whinging and angst from the cheer squad, any chance you might enjoy winning like the more sober types on here.

It's less about who goes out and more about who comes in IMO. If that makes sense. Half of our current running players weren't here last year and the mozzies were very much in development mode with Fly last year.
Mind you, the moandrones will always be able to say "see, I told you Morris was *smile*".
I for one thought Hardwick would be out the door by now & am happy to admit being wrong on that front. Very. He's done well.
That said the goal still remains a final's win surely.
If we're bundled out again without going deep into September then where are we at with Hardwick as a coach?
In his 8th season he already holds the record for most games coached without a finals win.
Crow 'I told you so' after we've won a final.

I think it was pretty much unanimous that the ultimate pass mark was to make the 8 and win a final, so I agree. But I think its also fair to say we've exceeded all expectations, bar extreme optimists, played exciting hard footy, got some big scalps and are entrenched in the top 4 with 3 games to go. To not smell the roses along the way, and not just that but whinge and sook with it, is self flagellating and just plain strange IMO. Maybe its just me.

I pretty much agree with all of that, I thought we would hover between 8th-14th this year tbh, so I am thrilled that the coaching/footy department obviously have a great balance, the players have bought in etc..
I agree that we are well placed but we definitely need to win finals due to our 2017 play and our position, this is a minimum, if we were placed where I thought 8th-14th even though I like Dimma I would be very supportive of moving him on.
Irrespective even if we were to win the flag I wouldn't support an extension until mid to end of 2018 when he comes out of contract.
TT if he wins us the flag this year I'd be extending the *smile* out of his contract. And admitting my own epic wrongness to boot.
Funny thing is, we're in with a real chance.

No need for hasty decision Baz..
I'm sure the majority including RFC would support an extension, I just think lets get off to a good start in 2018 and mid way if looking good we address it then.
Were all desperate for a flag, but should we be so lucky I would enjoy it but I would immediately want another....

wait, what? are you suggesting that because some of us are critical, that means we don't deserve to enjoy the ride? that we should support another team? FMD.
And its not about ego champ. My opinion is a personal view that I feel strongly about because I am passionate about this club. Just because I am not a true believer, doesn't mean I am less of a supporter than you. I desperately want the RFC to succeed and didn't think it would have succeeded under the current regime (we still haven't achieved anything yet by the way).
And I put my money where my mouth is by drastically reducing my level of membership this year. If the fairytale occurs and we make and win the GF, you'll be happy to know that I'll be one who may end up losing out. after having the GF guarantee attached to my membership for about a dozen years, I gave it away this year. So don't worry, perhaps a "moandroner" such as myself will get what I deserve in the end, eh? After all, this is just more evidence that I am not a real supporter like you, which is enough to make me wanna switch teams.
Carn the Giants!!!
