Look I am not chief of the Mary fan-club but, my god, some of you go wayyyy over the top. He may be tactically poor and cripplingly conservative in his selections…BUT…he gets the team “up” far more constantly than Price and both attack and defence have improved over his term. I know – low base. I know – he shouldn’t have been re-signed based on results…but he did.
Direct your anger at Doust / board for hiring and then re-hiring him. It is not Marys fault that the administration believe in him (and / or that he was the one they could afford) He is certainly not a deal breaker coach in terms of recruitment, exemplified by us recruiting two stars in Hunt and Graham.
In short – he’s our couch until further notice so pretty please quit the incessant whining get over it.
I am not angry at anyone...
Just frustrated and embarrassed.
Saddling up for another year of McGregor - hoping for the best and waiting to see the end result.
The real issue is not whether McGregor is "our coach until further notice" but rather what will happen if he bombs out again?
Do we extend his contract yet again, thumb your nose at the fans and results and just accept a few more years of no premierships and mediocrity?
Will the Board admit their mistake and make a hard and objective decision regarding the coaching function for the good of the club?
If things are going poorly, is the Board prepared to make a change mid season in an attempt to salvage 2018?
I think these are all valid questions and can't be interpreted as "whining".
Over the top...after 2016 and 2017? You're kidding right?
