Yeah that's more than fair FC

I'm not much concerned with Elizabeth - we've been (are?) there. Most clubs have.

The negative media attention, humiliation, criticism online etc etc could have all been avoided if Fitzroy showed a bit more decorum and class. That's all my point really is.

What I did find an odd coincidence when perusing the socials was a status from one of our blokes in 2016 when Fitzroy were really struggling. He kicked his first ever and only goal that day. I recall we were up by 20 goals to 0 at three quarter time at home. I benched my three best players. Played the back 6 in the front 6 and gave some midfield time to some youngsters.

We won 22 goals to nothing. Fitzroy went home obviously disappointed but with their heads held high.

It's not hard to show empathy, respect and a level of thinking more broadly about the health of the sport
