After all you've heard this week, if you're still in denial about what's going on down there, all I can say is I pity you.
There's more than enough smoke at the club, and it's the very reason people say there's fire. We have a *smile* culture. We need a coach that can come in and smash the players and mold them into ONE unit. Someone who's aggressive, a teacher, but also a disciplinarian. Someone who has enough mandate from the club to move on ANY player, regardless of how "nice" they are, or how many autographs they sign.
We've been *smile* for far too long, because people have been too afraid to pull the trigger. Delist the players who are causing the trouble, even if we can't get a trade but suspect someone else will take them. Cancer cells will always regenerate, they might as well take out someone else's club.
The players involved in this mess need to be dropped to coburg 2nds, and can stay there for the rest of the year. It's unacceptable for the team to be compromised in such a manner. No individual is bigger than the club.
If you're still in denial about what's going on, then basically you're just at the first stage in the grieving process. It's time to move on to acceptance now. Think really hard about what's been said in all the various media outlets. There's far too many consistencies between competing journalists (Hutchison, Wilson, Robinson etc) for there not to be at least most of this to be true.
