Casey

Go Scorps

Who has been critical of the Scorpions?

From time to time there have been justified criticisms from some forumites. Other times there has been pathological criticism from one. I guess everyone knows who, and I haven't got the time to quote all your relevant posts. Surely you can't be serious (but I think you are!).

Who are you scorp man.I have watched the scorps twice this year and have thought that your coach has been really good.Spoke really well to his players at 3/4 time last week.I also thought the way he worked the young blokes at the huddle was really good.Also watched the game against Box Hill on TV and also was really calm and understood the situation.I wish we had him at Box Hill. Also Brett Lovett has been very good this year.Communication and his game plan has suited his players.There are some very good coaches in this comp Mark Williams also knows his stuff. Sam

Just your average footy supporter who has developed an interest in the Casey Scorps because of their alliance with the Saints, but more so because they have moved to Casey.

Unfortunately you seem to think that I have constantly criticised Casey. Sorry my friend but you are just totally wrong. I am not keen on totally blind biased comments, and I will pick people up on them, but I really don't think I have ever come out with a bland critisism without cause. Responces to issues raised, or contrary views on matters you have raised seem to upset you. You suggested the other day the following, which I had intended to ignore but for the sake of world peace I will now comment on. [quote:d42ba0a1fd="caseyscorp"][quote:d42ba0a1fd="Dolphin"]Secondly, I havn't said a word about Casey for about 2 months. Not sure that's much of a campaign.[/quote] Surface - seems to be standing up extremely well despite your confidence it would take 2 years to be any good! Facilities - top class! Team - in the 8! Not surprising you've had to bite your tongue![/quote] Now in relation to the surface. I didn't ever criticise it. I just stated that it would take a year or two to be at its best. Not to be any good at all, but to be consistently at its best. Thats all, but you took that it as a criticism. In relation to the facilities, I don't recall ever complaining about them. I made a tongue in cheek comment in relation to the hype by some others about the facility being "the Lexis center of the VFL". You want to make those types of comments, you have to expect a bit of a flick. After the first game I made a comment about the area inside the front gate being slippery, and suggested some crushed rock. Not a critisism, simply advice. Because, it was bloody dangerous and somebody could get hurt. If Nana slips and breaks her hip, there would be hell to pay. I made comment at the time that the facilities would be great. Thats what I beleive I have said all along. They WILL be great, just don't expect too much too soon. Raise peoples expectations too high, and you will just dissapoint them. Dissapoint them, and you will lose them. I did criticise YOU though. I criticised your jumping on somebody who had the audacity to refer to the club as Springvale. You suggested that they had to move on, or something to that effect. I criticised you on the basis of you being pedantic and uncompromising. It seems to have left you a little jaded. You seem to have some sort of problem with anybody not falling all over the Casey project. Thats up to you, I just don't see your blindness as being healthy, thats all. I think if ypou really want to have a look, I have actually said on many occaisions that I hope the Casey project works because the competition needs it to. Pathological criticism, I don't think so. You are kidding yourself, because at the end of the day, I really could not give a stuff.

From the Bullants site: http://bullants.footballvic.com.au/_content/document/00047187-src.html [i][color=indigo]The first impression on arriving at the new Casey Field complex around 10:00 am was that it bore an ominous resemblance to the North Ballarat Oval where the Bullants have collapsed regularly over the last few seasons - flat, open to the elements and signs of somewhat less than pleasant weather building to the north-west. The corporate facilities (from our external glimpse) appear first class, the playing surface equally so, but those for the punters at ground level rather less attractive with both viewing facilities and cover somewhat restricted at this early stage.[/color][/i] I suppose that is a criticisism as well is it. and probably my fault

iceman wrote:In reference to the complex, you can't help rain where ever you are, the wind is next to non existant, at times it can build up a little bit, but so can any ground? Will still need some years to develop, remember other grounds have had decades to develop, but i do agree probably a bit more undercover seating would go a long way, my under standing is that by full completion the aim is to have 1000 undercover seats, at the moment it has 200.

I agree, but you know what. If I had said that I would be acused of "pathological criticism". I should just shut up because I give Casey way way too much air time!! I should be on their payroll.:wink:
