If we lose LDU, then its time to shut the club down. He has shown he is capable of sustained A Grade football. One of only 2-3 on our list who you could say that about. No player would seriously "want to be at NMFC" at the moment. Those in charge need to do EVERYTHING they can to change that.
For example, orchestrating a loss in round 24 last year (which should've been VERY VERY easy to do) to ensure we got Harley Reid....That would've been a good start. Put Reid in a NM jumper & suddenly there's some hope. The guys just need to see some hope. At the moment, there is none. Zero. LDU would be looking around and seeing Fisher, Sleevo, Stephens, Tucker, Phillips, Lazzarro, Scott etc and thinking "I'm playing alongside C Grader's...what's f*n the point? What hope do we have?"
Who could blame him for wanting out????? Same applies to Zurhaar.
Don't forget, the club is these guys workplace. They don't barrack for the club like we do. If I worked in a totally f*d up workplace and got offered more money to go elsewhere, would I go? Of course I would. And anyone who begrudged me for doing that, is a moron.
A club with possibly the worst ever AFL list, can't be so flippant re allowing talent to walk out the door. It just can't.
