I am an Emirates Western Force Member and I support John Mitchell.

[joondalup dave]

i think that is going remain a private issue between employer and employee.

i think john is entitled to privacy just like the rest of us.

we will probably never know.

i think supporting is going to games , becoming a member and buying merchandise as it gives a tangible value to the team.

watching from home or the pub is less so.

lets support the force no matter what happens.

[prop53]

good on yeah J D agree with you all the way

[jono]

i will support the force regardless. but it doesnt mean i am going to be happy with what they do towards their employees. because there are some that i would prefer be retained.

[brokendown gunfighter]

maybe some of the said employees are fed up being treated like s.hit

I think the question that needs to be asked is why did these problems emerge at the end of a difficult year full of problems?, if they were there before why would they have renewed John Mitchells contract?. I would hope that the problems can be resolved and their causes addressed.

Joodalup Dave, what has caused the turn around in attitude towards the coach?, only a short while ago you were rallying the troops to stand behind him. You seem to know something the rest of us don't.

[pieter blackie]

Since when does players decide who the coach should be. Obviously will they complain if the coach is to hard on them or if the coach doesn't allow them to get out of control at clubs and pubs or if the coach doesn't take any bulshit from a bunch of youngsters that think they know it all It is a revolt against discipline and nothing more

Mitch is the man and if you don't like it go and play for the waratahs

[jono]

i think this applies here as well

my cousin drives a concrete truck.

if we all pitched in, we could pool enough money to get him to deliver a load to RugbyWA... it seems like a few of the players could do with a cup or two...

[Cowboy]

If I didn't know better (maybe I'm the suspicious type) I even start to think that Joondalup Dave was preparing us here at TWF for what lies in wait around the corner.

He has warned us in the past and we dismissed it as fanciful Here's hoping he's wrong this time

I am sure the other Super 14 teams are laughing, rubbing their hands together, with all this horrible bickering, back stabbing, rumours and inuendos, going on with our Team. Please stop, and get back to the business of getting our men ready for the new season. We will be sorry to see Gitz go, and any other player who follows like a herd of sheep, but go if they must..no one is indispensable.
Mitch has had to be tough, lets face it he has had a tough task, starting a new Super 14 from scratch, and bringing errant players into line for the sake of the Club's name. Gosh they aren't babies (are they??), dicipline has to be achieved! Give him a break, he has a job to do, and I know he's the best coach for us.
Roll on the season for 2009....Lets get on with it, and enough of all this "spitting the Dummy"....we don't want ANY prima donnas in our team

[hertryk]

maybe some of the said employees are fed up being treated like s.hit

Maybe some employees should grow up and concentrate on the job at hand...to play rugby and not who can spit the dummy the furthest, or stamp their feet the hardest!!

[brokendown gunfighter]

not all the employees are players

[hertryk]

I support the 'I SUPPORT JOHN MITCHELL" bumper sticker idea....

Except I don't own a car...but I could put it on my trike with all the rest of my EWF member stickers!

Sorry...!!!
You are right not all employees are players....but they should still grow up and sort out any "Problems" with the source without whining to anyone else...they are ALL adults one would hope...so GROW UP!! the lot of them...!!!
