Football Department Review

Voss?  No effin' way.  Arrogant and a proven failure.

I heard Sam Edmund this morning on SEN, he suggested that the review may have started months ago and that all this external review stuff is merely window dressing.

Which is even worse.

I agree with what Rhys-Jones has had to say. Off the field we are going well on field we are losing because of the losing culture we have had now for twenty years. The worst thing Elliot did, and there were many, was instill the belief that we could only win if we cheat. This is why the tanking was actually corrosive for the Club's culture even though getting Judd was enormous. Winners win because they win and losers lose because they lose. We need to become winners again and if this review can show us a pathway to achieving this, then well and good, however if this review isn't going to send us back to bad old ways of looking for a Messiah, then we are in trouble. We have had two coaching Messiahs, Pagan and Malthouse, and that ended disastrously, and one playing Messiah, Judd, who wasn't able to carry us to where we wanted to go. Mark Maclure called it early by saying we don't play as a team and by saying the improvement has to be player driven. Nothing has changed. Changing the Coach hasn't worked for twenty years, maybe it is time to change the culture.

We are a total mess after years of futility and I am depressed. That is my bottom line atm and I just can't be arsed to offer further analysis.  Sorry guys.

First job, get Mark Murphy in and tell him he’s not required next year. Second, tell him we are focusing on youth, but he will make 300 games. Thirdly, prior to his 300th game, he will announce it will be his last and retire straight after the match. Face saving for all concerned.

Think I'll retire the CFC guernsey for the moment and pull on my LS Test jumper.  Might need it with the polar blast coming.

Percy Jones was left stranded on 249. McClure 243.  Why gift Murphy?  Doesn't deserve it.

Again assuming Teague moves on, how about D Harford as a dark horse?

At the expense of the womens side? Lets not ruin the entire club at once.
