Would be interested to know whether his views changed after witnessing that awful game live.

When weren’t we?
We are talking about the last 6 games last year when they played together so what games?
We beat port and suns at home, wce away who div 1 ammo’s would’ve beaten. We lost to Melbourne & Brisbane away by under a goal and lost to Sydney at home.
Plenty of idiotic decisions to choose from, in just 33 years of existence.

It shouldn’t be that hard.
We are in a two team town. There would be enough quality people from SA who may want to return home and we are one of only two options.
We are financially in a strong place, we can afford to throw cash around if need be.
Our list profile is just about ideal in terms of age and player experience, young enough you can have an impact from a coach/high performance perspective but not so young that you’re signing up for 4-5 years of pain (theoretically).
Why can’t we get more quality in?

Im curious if there is any one on here that genuinely believed at the time, if the resigning was the right call?
I couldnt believe it at the time, with hindsight the decision is even worse. I still believe the Club knew we would have had this kind of start and better to announce it when we were 0-1, than later in the season.
0-10 is not completely out of the question either after R10, I think we will likely be 1-9 or 2-8 at absolute best.
It was madness to believe we would make the 8 off the back of last year. We had a few "Port-like" wins that fooled everyone.

ironically I think Hombsch might now be our best assistant coach.
It’s s**t, as I said he’s no good and hence cannot implement another game plan.
You telling me how we are playing is us successfully playing his game plan?
I've never said we can play his new defense game plan well, I said he has been able to revert back to what resemble the game plan of last year in the games we've played.
I was in the firmly no for a long time, basically from what I saw from the 2020 season. No surprise I still am.
Most damning thing is under the coaching regime is we seem to be trying to kill the natural talent of our young players. First Jones, and Fog... then Schoey and Berry. Now Pedlar. Soligo is next. After that, RT, Rachelle, Rankine? Max?
It's a negative, slow, rubbish coaching system that kills any natural talent of a player to minimize risk. We are literally playing to bring the opposition down to our level, and squeak home (which hasn't worked so far this season). This is the exact same garbage we saw back in 2020. That was supposedly the start of the rebuild and it was hard to stomach then... it's impossible to take now.

So of all the posters who were happy to re-sign him early, are you still of the same opinion?

Which players have improved this season?
Not sure you could name 1 player.
Perhaps Keane?

That in itself should have been the warning to the Board!!Hmm, besides Wayne I can’t think of too many
& he wants us to use our next 1st rounder on Petty...

Keane and Borlase are clearly improving. But they only have games because of injury. There is no chance had Butts and Murray not got injured, they'd have received any.

We need to play the other half of our list and draft top talent before we get Petty.

The selection committee need to give all our top end talent a decent go... & start being more ruthless in selection where a player has had several poor games.
Imo, finals already a lost cause.
Ps. Stop playing injured or underdone players too!
