Can you check this out Mods?
did you go to the game?
we had to sit amongst drugcheat fans, whilst other drugcheat fans sat in our premium seats, and watch 8 very exciting minutes followed by about 84 really really shit ones for the most part, do you want us to just wear it and sit in a circle singing ****? have you watched the team play? the dumb decisions which quite frankly partly seem to be born of a too scared to try something new mentality. if for no other reason than being stale and scared we need a new coach NOW. not in 4 weeks time, NOW. it doesnt matter if he can coach anymore, we cannot change 22 players, and lets not forget they aint MMs boys anymore, this is Bux team. none of us want this outcome, i seriously doubt there is one person here who didnt want Buckley to coach a premiership. and he nearly did. but now we are back to shit skills, shit decisions, and a lot of it seems to be because of a shit game plan. if there is one. its got me stumped.
so yes in answer to your question i am SIDE BY SIDE, sitting in the cold, wet, hard damn seats clapping and singing as they come out onto the ground, cheering like mad when we score, abusing the umpires when they call deliberate out for us and play on for them, you know SUPPORTING my team. but that doesnt mean i have to wear shit like this quietly, this is a FORUM, ill let you google that.
shortly ill download and post the highlight shots i took, but there aint many!!!
we finished 6th? thrashed the eagles on their turf, laid down and rolled over for the damn cats, who went on to be runners up and now we are 17th. SEVENTEENTH. thank god for north! why? who did we lose? we lost Treloar who as many point out on here, was not always playing to our benefit, and even when he was he wasnt scoring goals. but treating him like shit maybe brought us some bad black cat karma. and we lost Stevo, yes ive heard all the rumours and i even know for sure some are true, but why why WHY could no one in the club get such a bright future star under control? just imagine if it was in the time of Swan, Shaw, Didak? all did worse shit.
and tell me this because i really want to know, if, as he has said himself, its not his job to motivate the players JUST WHOS JOB IS IT??
its done, its time to move on, its time to bring in a fresh voice. it doesnt matter if its poor coaching, or just a loss of trust over the preseason shit, its done. end of story. there is no coming back from this without change.
i really wish there was, but yeah, i cant see it. but you know what? take a guess where my arse will be next Saturday at 145pm?
