Deary me,we have had a few months of nowt but positives from the club plus people backing agar,now its the week of the first game and he picks his team from a fully fit squad he still cant win,what a load of sh-te about him having favourites,all the time he has a full squad hes never gunna please the players or the fans,like we have all said its a great position for him to be in atm,we can all pick our team that wed like to see but its never gunna be the same as agars team,i know people havent been impressed with radders last season for whatever reasons but nobody can argue that he deserves to be in this weeks squad after the performances in the 2 friendlies and the same is said for dowes and whiting.

When Agar was appointed i was not dissapointed with the decision but neither was i overjoyed at it. Last year was awful but i am willing to give hima fair crack this season and see if things improve.

For me i am very interested in how he handles interchanges this year because last year that was a very dissapointing aspect of his coaching. With Moore alongside him hopefully this side of his coaching will improve.

We are an A grade club. The other 2 A grade clubs have McLennan and Smith. My view is that both are better coaches than.Agar and we should have, and can afford, someone of their calibre. I hope Agar has a fantastic season, but would be more confident going into the season with Smith or McLennan.

On the basis of the friendlies, could anyone argue that Moa doesn't deserve a place?

But can he manage?

After all that is his position in the club

Nail on the head!

He is managing a squad of players, who we have viewed in 2 friendlies!! we are not privy to what is happening in training etc...However he appears to be doing a very good job of installing positivity in the squad lets just see how he goes.

Certainly couldn't manage the players he had last year. Maybe it was just a case of bringing in players who don't need managing thus negating the need for agar

I have been excited now for a few months, this week I have been buzzin, this boards has been great to come on considering the last 2 years, lots of optimism which is great, I have read this thread and I fele like I did last flippin season

I know what you mean BB too much negativity after Agar announces his first 19 man squad. I have been buzzing about this game for a long time now and i feel like omeone has deflated me this afternoon.

Do you feel like a recently used condom?

Get a grip FFS. Do you really value the opinion of anyone on here?

No but all the cynicism is putting a downer on the forum as a whole. I am used to your moans at everything Agar so take them with a pinch of salt.

Agree with that Mrs B.

The pressure is certainly on Richard Agar now he has moulded the squad.

Thats an old one



like i said he cant please everyone,we have a big squad and everyone will get there chance during the season.

You also said that Radford should be in because he played well in the friendlies. Moa also played well, most would say better than Cusack, but isn't selected. Either selections have been based on the friendlies, or they haven't.
