Add in the flops from latest round of big money recruits in Williams and always injured Martin and our trades across the board are fail after fail after fail.
Even Saad has dropped off in the second half of the year and has no defensive side to his game at all and opposition teams plan to exploit it.
Money bags McGovern who I was a fan of is another that just fails to even get close to what we thought we were buying. Paid big coin for a third banana forward.
Only positive out of today was seeing the natural ability of Honey. Should be a long term prospect as a small to medium forward.
Apart from that was awful viewing and those who want to make excuse after excuse after excuse why we again will finish in the bottom tier can do that if it helps them feel better about things but the reality is we are a fail or an organisation and need a massive clean out again with the list, coaching on all levels and admin departments.
Depressing that we waited 6 years and this is where we are at.
We could sort all that and it will do nothing. Have to clean out players that simply don't have the will to play for anything other than a pay cheque. Until that part is sorted then we go nowhere. Played half assed for most of 20 years. It will take alot to change it.
Despite that, we were still in contention to play finals until late in the year with alot of injuries. If these blokes had the slightest will to succeed we would be in there. Alot of those 20pt defeats would be wins. But sadly, they don't want it anywhere near badly enough.
