It’s taken a while but I have finally removed the blinkers & come to the conclusion that is shared by Ant, Dyertribe & some others that our list is not quite as good as we had been led to believe it was prior to the start of 2003.
But all is not lost just yet & even though Gary Ayres is under the pump & faces a very tough task in making the eight let alone the top four we can still get something out of this season that could set us up for the future.
Even though our current crop of juniors have not yet set the world on fire we have to get our structure set in place with what we already have & in my mind that means for the remainder of this year playing McGregor & Hentschel as our 2 kp backman with Perrie (chf) & Rutten (ff) as the main targets up forward leaving Carey to play out of a pocket in support of them , if we make the finals well & good & if not well at least we will know one way or the other if the spine we have in place is the one to go with or look else where i.e. = Kruger & Watts, trade/draft.
On Gary Ayres I would like to see all AFC supporters get behind him for as long as he is with us & if he is to remain as senior coach beyond 2004 then for gods sake get some fresh blood in the coaching box along side him who at least can bring fresh ideas/thoughts with him.
