Usual stuff in the press conference about our poor execution going forward and poor goal kicking, spoken as though being poor in those areas was an anomaly rather than the same issues the team has had for years on end. Facing the prospect of playing in a grand final and missing finals the next year yet again. Good teams and good clubs are consistent. If you take the 2016 flag out of the equation and look simply at ladder finishes, there’s been very little growth in this team. No top 4 finishes. You’d think we’d have top level assistants knocking down the door but instead we end up with bargain basement no-names. I mean seriously, our forward line is being coached by a bloke who has never coached before and kicked bugger all goals in his career. The list is crying out for well defined players who then actually play in their positions of strength. That way me might have natural forwards instead of needing to play mids and flankers up there at times. Other clubs change and adapt, we seem to rock up with the same every season and expect something different. Sorry about the rant but the club feels like when you’ve heard a song so many tines you just cannot listen to it anymore. Every week we scratch our heads about selection, tactics that don’t work, more injuries to key players, kicking 2.15 in a quarter (slight exaggeration I know!), defenders getting consistently beaten one-on-one and the ease with which teams often move the ball and score. Sure we do win games and have some moments that are great to watch but everything needs to come together for that to occur and we seldom do that for four quarters. May seem like this is all coming from a place of anger and frustration but it’s actually coming from a pace of love. Love for my club and wanting it to be better than it is for all of us.
