First of all to all and sundry I was right and you guys who thought we were on the right path were wrong.MM [REDACTED] this club up the arse and his legacy will live on at this club for a few more years with Jones, Thomas still on big money contracts. When a guy is handed a senior coaching job when it was clear the previous club thought he was passed it through their actions flowers off around Australia to promote his book about how great he was leaves a shallow list that he thinks is knocking on the door of a flag your in big trouble
The people involved in this appointment should leave. Of course it's hard to sack a Pratt. Essentially the board is the ultimate problem. The recruiting last year was a disgrace
Tutt
Jones
Thomas
Dick
Boekhurst
Jaksch
Whiley
Fields
Wood
Matured aged hacks who are contracted next year and beyond.
On top of this getting rid of
Laidler
Betts
McLean
Gartlett
@#$%&! me

So enough of the past what about the future
Coach

Not Barker. We need to appoint a guy from the outside. At least a thorough interview process
Is taking place at last
Recruiting
Must pick kids over the next 5 years . More hits and misses. We must start from the ground up
Trades
Trade Yarran and Henderson for no less than a second rounder. That would mean 4 picks in roughly the first 25
Dump
Guys that clearly are not up to it whose contract is up
Fitness
This will depend on the new coach but clearly we have failed in this area as well. Even our senior players lack strength and size
Have a stand alone reserves team
A no brainer
I have strong faith that sos will do a good job and the guys on the coaching interview panel will get the right man that's a start.
The only good thing this year has been Cripps.Graham as well but if want to keep these 2 guys we must give them some incentive to stay. Give them hope that there is future for them here.
I can only hope the board goes as well. We must get it right in all these areas.
So endeth the lesson

Word of advice- provide an abstract (summary) at the top of posts like these.

Once I see "First of all,..." Starting a post, I know the post was written one handed, while the other hand was pre-occupied holding something else.

I would have started it "First, to all and sundry", I think the "of all" is redundant and verbose. With this advice, go through and re-edit your post and then we can move on to the content

*suggests dumping 2/3rds of the list*

So endeth the lesson

Thanks for the advice Jeanie
