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
