Great post, you are very learned man. Just on the following though:
"I know this post has probably wondered all over the place but I cannot help but think that our list is not 'bad', ordinary, maybe. But first and foremost to me is that our blokes do not seem to take the field 'inspired', pumped, enthusiastic... they seem to take the field burdened by duty rather than love of the game and playing with mates. And, to me, that's coaching. In fact, that's a failure of coaching leadership."
It funny you mention this because in one of his pressers after the game, MM said that one of the last thing he told the guys as they were about run down the race was "just play the game".
But what is their understanding of that? What do those words mean to them? Is that motivating to me? Does that say something to me? Does that inspire me?
Forgive me if I seem terribly shallow, but I wonder if our club served as a vehicle for MM to achieve a personal goal.... not the first time our club has provided a credible vehicle for someone's personal agenda.
Our brand, our esteem is dying, only courageous leaders will arrest and reverse this trend.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

@ Baggers
Many have suggested this before (MM wanting to achieve his own goals using us a vehicle). I don't agree that this is the case, its just my personal opinion of Mick. I find it disrespectful towards one of the best coaches in the history of the game, again just my opinion of him (which is much higher than many on here, but thats ok). Again, is he the right man for the job 2016 and onwards? Probably not but a "committee" reviewing the coach for 2016 and beyond will determine this, not me. One thing is for sure, their decision will anger some here and make others happy. If they get it wrong (which is where money is purely because of track record), we are ALL going to be sad for a very long time to come. Sorry but at the minute, I cant see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Gibbs, Murphy, and other leaders or players in general haven't said anything in interviews about having to change the way they go about their football. Or what the entire playing group needs to do. This might be a change in trend and may be a starting point. I still feel a stinging feeling on my @rse cheeks, thing we could still experience a complete flogging.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Take it up to them, get in and tackle, tackle and tackle - don't let them run and hit them at every opportunity and we might have a chance.
This is your opportunity blues to show you care and show some heart. Own the midfield and make them chase us.
