I find it amazing that the club, with all this noise happening, releases no statement or press release on any of our issues. Instead lets just feed them player reviews, that will keep the masses happy.
The Board for all we know are probably sunning themselves on holiday in the Bahamas or somewhere similar, totally oblivious to the "goings on" of the football club.
Where is the update on recruiting? Vaughan and now Shaun Nona, who else are we targeting, seeing pre-season begins in 2-3 weeks. Who is our new head of medical (replacing Ayoub) and who are the support team around him/her? Where are the words of wisdom emanating from our illustrious HC eg: plans, ideas etc for 2017? Who will play in what position and what is being done to prepare them for pre-season?
Yesterday, the Dogs announced the signing of 6 players, including our own Tom Carr. We release SFA with regards to anything.......just player reviews (whilst entertaining in some aspects, the reality of statistics clearly show how pathetic we were this year).
Now we have the issue of Jason Demetriou. Probably, heir apparent to a first grade gig, when the opportunity arises (with any club). We have him at the moment, but that means nothing in today's world. Millward and Co (Doust etc) will probably say "well he's contracted to us for 2017", however, so was Ayoub and last year Mullholland. They will probably sit dumbfounded at this development, heads buried in the ground, hoping it will all go away.
With membership meandering (I think someone posted we are now on 3800), you would think alarm bells would be ringing through the halls of our management, but dare I say the lights on but no-one's home.
The Board and Doust have foolishly backed themselves into a corner, publically stating McGregor is the future and that we should back our team and club if we are "true" supporters. They have severely underestimated the tidal wave of discontent that poorly worded, and poorly intended press releases have caused amongst the masses.
The "Committee" headed by Mark Coyne, seems to be, at the very least, trying to uncover the truth of the Dragons current demise. However, like all well intended plans, our club's Board will politely look at the recommendations, thank them for their time and then file under "things to do in 2019".
W need serious help to not only become a power club again, but to at least take the first steps to recovery. At the moment we are legless and headless, and no body in our management circle seems to care as long as the flesh isn't rotting. Little do they know, it already has.
