Sometimes it doesn't pay to go too early.
It can come back to bite you 
I haven't said on any post that they can't win. In fact I hope they do...... for my Grandsons sake. at least. He's so used to us losing, that he doesn't cry anymore.
As a 65 year supporter and member, I'm just so bloody disappointed at what I have seen over the last 15 or so years.
I lived through similar cr@p in the 50's and 60's till Barassi came along, but this is far worse.
I hold the Board from the President down responsible for the debacle we are witnessing.
Bolton is gone, and I'm not going to harp on him any further, other than to say, that I had my fears from day one about him.
Had the results been the same or even two or three wins better over the last three and a half years, it wouldn't have been good, but I wouldn't have been concerned, provided their kicking skills, decision making, tackling ability, etc etc etc had improved.
But they haven't. Petrevski's kick under no pressure in the last minute of the second quarter where he could not hit a target, is symptomatic of the malaise that this team suffers.
I hope that whomever is appointed coach will take a long hard look at blokes like Fisher, Dow, Sammo, LOB, Matt Kennedy and others, as to whether or not they are up to the standard necessary to be part of a finals team, let alone a premiership team.
I can forgive Setterfield a bit, because he's been out for a long time and is only 20 or 21, and will hopefully get better.
I don't envy David Teague the next 11 weeks, but I wish him well and hope that this team will do nothing other than give everything they can each week, so that if he doesn't get the job next year, at least he won't leave the position a shattered man, and will be able to have future as a coach if not with us then elsewhere.
