I'm sure this web site will over load shortly, as PreEnders return from the game.
Yet - I also wonder why we bother.
Today was it - the end of 2009.
Not because of mathematical reasons why we can't make the eight - but rather - the reality that the playing list is every bit as bad as we feared.
How funny that people have called for Richo's sacking - when today what I would have given to see him on the ground.
Let's face facts.
Yes FACTS - the following players are not up to competitive AFL level:
Shultz, Riedwoldt, JON, Polo, EDWARDS!!! (King, Hughes, Raines)
But more sadly - there is a huge group of players that try hard - occasionally make a great play - but at the end of the day, they will never amount to much:
Jackson, Tuck, (Simmonds), White, (Bowden), Collins, Deledio (just doesn't do enough!!), NEWMAN! (Brown), (Johnson)
Based on today (and the last few weeks) who has potential/can play the game:
Graham, Naha's (Cousins!!!), Tambling (TBC)
Anyhow ..................
Claw and many others will scream for scalps, and talk about rebuidling - but when it boils down to it - 10 years of recruiting Deledio, Tambling, Riedwoldt (and other high picks) has achieved nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Who can come in???
Cotchin (YES) ......... Pettifer!!! King!!! Raines!!!!
Today we saw our future.
We don't have one.
Sacking the coach (which we still must do) will unfortunately achieve nothing.
Going into this game I thought we were still a chance for the eight.
Now,
We must surely be favourites for the wooden spoon.
Of greate concern - I fear where the club goes from here.
