Brownlow Medallist
Since the middle of last year, things haven’t been right. You could feel it. You could see it.
There were murmurs. Then the stringer trade. The maybe Dahl, clay and libba trades. Then the 2 key architects of the premiership list bolted.
But before they did, they splashed $2mill on a big bodied key defender to fill the gaping hole at the back. And dropped most of our stringer compensation on a blue chip 19 year old key forward to fill another gaping hole up front. Neither are being played in the positions they were invested in so heavily to play.
Our premiership captain and all Australian has been reduced to a park footballer. Zero clue, zero tackles and even more alarmingly, zero effort.
Teams have picked holes effortlessly in our once vaunted defensive zone.
We are structureless. We are directionless. We are clueless.
There is no alignment. No plan. No sense of passion or purpose.
Since mid season in 2017, I’ve felt dispassionate towards the club for the first time in 35 years. I watched today’s game and didn’t care.
Without unity, a defined direction and a road map forward, we are a completely soulless and lost football club.
I wonder if it’s just me, so I ask, are you invested in this football team??
