Quote: FlexWheeler "We’re 8th.
Bar Leigh, a semi-competent team, the only teams below us are all train wrecks.
A quality coach can do something with this team. Things fall into place very quickly when you have a quality coach, we just don’t appoint them anymore. It doesn’t have to be an xx year transition. People are obsessed with that for some reason. In 96 we nearly got relegated, but in 98 we competed at the top and made the grand final. We just made good recruitment decisions and appointed a top quality coach.
Watson and Rowley have all been gettable in the last 5 years and would all be doing better with this squad than the current “coach”.
We are just rotting in mediocrity right now. People talking about having seen worse teams like it’s some badge of honour. Just because the club has been a mess in yesteryear doesn’t mean standards should be dropped.
Where is the ruthless drive for a success? Remember Hetherington at the turn of the century? Setting targets for success and dishing out the medicine when it wasn’t achieved.
The club is dead on the field.'"
Nail on head
