We won 2 games, we played without heart in so many games, we got beaten by 100pts 3 times, once by a side that finished with 16 men where we got outscored 7 goals to 1 in the last qtr, we got thrashed by 10 goals by bottom 4 sides, we have a game plan that the players look so confused about. Injuries doesn't excuse all that. Even the side we sent out in the last game was alot better than 2 wins. Alot of sides had injuries this year. We are poorly structured, poorly drilled with a coach that seems out of his depth with our rebuild. We couldn't even structure up well enough to counter a side that had 16 men on the ground. No excuse for that. You can spin it anyway you like you only had to open your eyes and look at what was actually happening. If people didn't see those things then they are blind or just don't want to see.
Some of us don't accept shit. Other's might be satisfied with shit, i'm not one of them.
Jim you keep beating the same old drum, we get it, your feelings are hurt.
This is a classic case of expectations exceeding ability. If you actually opened your eyes as you put it, you would've seen just about everyone had us pegged for the spoon this year with the loss of Gibbs and Doc. Compounding the loss, we had the most injuries out of every club in the league, I'll repeat it because you don't seem to be listening. The most injuries out of EVERY CLUB in the league.
Yes, I get that other clubs have injuries but you seem to be delusional about;
A The quality and depth of our list,
B The quality of players that were injured and the role they played for us and our inability to replace them with all of our talent you seem to think we have in the 2s,
C The age demographic of our team.
I'll make it simple........the success of a team isn't compared on the quality of its top players, it's their bottom ones and geez we've had some good ones over the years. And we've had to play a lot of them this year while our "required players" have been, you guessed it....injured. Connecting the dots for you, this is why we had a rebuild, which we are still in the middle of.....not the end.
Finally, if we didn't have any issues with injuries and it's all game plan issues as you continually play like a one string guitar. Why has the club committed an extra million to the football department and why have we just employed the best High Performance trainer in the league?
It seems the only issue the club has with coaching is all the arm chair coaches with their misguided "expert" opinions.
As I've said before, I think it's time to move along. Just enjoy the silly season and see what players we get that are an upgrade on some of our many C grade players, as we continue to rebuild to gain much needed depth and compliment the talent we have been gathering over the last 3 drafts.
So sorry mate, I can't spin this "shit" any other way, other than the logical way to make you feel better.
