He won’t. You don’t want to burn future prospects coming to the club knowing he is a merkin of a coach.
What future prospect is going to want to come when they realise we are back to the no money, no influence, no semi finals team we have always been.
The acceptance of mediocrity needs to be cleaned out. Making the semis is simply not good enough.

If Holmes announces before the start of this season he is going and we are serious about getting Barba, I say let him go now.

There's no use waiting. We are better off getting Barba used to playing with us a year earlier than a year later. And we could do with his creativity.

Tell Holmes he can go now, get Hayne.

Cows will not be able to afford Barba / Holmes, Towel and Morgan in the same year. We get Barba cheap.

We have Barba and Hayne.

Sit and lol.

Jesus shaggy calm down.

We finished top 4 man. A post premiership decline happens to all clubs.
When did Melbourne have a decline?

Why repeat the mistakes of the past? They know what the issues were and now it’s looking likely again.

f**k me, we won the Comp and still struggle to attract a decent sponsor. We make the top 4 and wont have a naming sponsor for the ground.

If you lot are happy with the direction of the club then good for you. Don’t be blinded by 1 premiership and thinking that will still be relevant in 10 years. Systems should have been in place to keep the club relevant.

My concern is the downward spiral off the field will inevitably cause a downward slide on the premiership table.

Prove me wrong

Pretty spot on.

When we won all the stars aligned, hate on me for saying it but the comp was softer that year and we had 1 year of super talent.

With Dugan in and out all year, Lewis gone, gal a year older, graham inconsistent, seggy gone, I really think we are going to struggle next year. Bottom 8 if we are lucky.

We are a boys club, starting from the top and going the whole way down.

I agree with some of your points Shagg, but it's a bit unfair to compare us to Melbourne. A one team town with the backing of News and all that it brings.
