We could recruit Parkin as coach and a bevy of guns but our problems aren't ability, it's culture and attitude. This changes, to me at least, the kind of bloke we need as coach. I think we have the ability, but between the ears is the problem.
Oh, and I'd sack the non hackers on the spot.... They've had plenty of chances to put in, but they don't can't or won't. That's a terrible indictment on a playing group.
Nice summary, Professory.
Even the Kangabies have shown more improvement this year. What an indictment. We are a bottom 4 side... and sliding.
Totally bereft of the basics that make a good football side, let alone a finalist, let alone top 4, let alone a contender.
Stanton laughing while our team flails is etched in my mind. FO d1ckhead... hand in your resignation Monday.
We definitely need a senior coach who is a club leader, someone who values defense and team, someone who commands respect. The TT is too naive, one dimensional and even tempered for the job. Giant disappointment. We exchange one set of training wheels, for another set of training wheels.
You'd have reasonably thought that everyone would have been galvanized by the independent review, to put their best foot forward last night. We did for the first 5 bounce ups... then, as you say Professory, capitulated. GWS relax a little in the 3rd, we rally, they focus again, we wilt. No mental toughness at all... only confusion, individualism, softness and then more confusion - spiritless, soulless.
We have the talent, of that I have absolutely no doubt. But when you plug in a poor game plan... well, even the best can and will perform below par, or even worse.
Time to fast track this review and implement meaningful, swift change before all is lost.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
