I really don’t see how any reasonable person can ‘agree’ with TD’s arguments. Sure there are some half-truths and grains of truth in there, just like there are in those of Donald trump, and even Kim Jong Un. These black and white views are useless, they do nobody any favours. TD’s view was true once. Back in the days of Spud and Wallet PRE pretty much had a consensus, recruiting and trading was abysmal, and we lost every game that had any sniff of importance, and usually by a big margin. We don’t just recruit duds anymore, we don’t stuff up every draft pick anymore, we don’t never make the 8 anymore, we don’t lose every big game anymore, and following on from all that, our culture has improved. To suggest otherwise is dumbsville. The only side that doesn’t lose some big games, and even they drop the odd one, is the powersides of the day, we are not a powerside yet. We’ve got a ways to go, nobody would dispute that. But everything is buggered? Come off it. Its brainless.
The argument always seems to get back to ‘I want a flag right now (who doesn’t), so failing that sack everyone’. Its Verucca Salt sh!t.
