Or maybe we haven't plugged the leaks at all, it's just no media outlets think it's worthwhile publishing "exclusive" rumours about Parra signing the likes of Morgan f**king Harper cause nobody gives a shit or thinks anyone would want to know...
We dont know.
Indeed. But those all followed Matto's "choice" to sit out games instead of pay the fine that was due. As I wrote, Matto's actions and the outcome of those first three weeks set the scene for everything that followed - which turned into a bin fire.
Or perhaps we're just not recruiting at all...?
Back when the Tigers poached their juniors from elsewhere, including the likes of Moses and Papenhuyzen.
Papenhuyzen has played 30 games in three years. Matterson has played almost 60.
Speshal.
There's more to it than that, imo. Personally, I feel that the club has done f**k all about the elephant in the room, that is our backline. On top of that, I also feel that BA has been in charge too long, but this is a reactionary situation born from times when we were sacking coaches and were generally a rabble as a club. There is definitely a discipline issue, both on and off the field along with some very poor recruitment decisions. Gutho is the glue that holds the team together, but he can't do it for too much longer. As far as the other players are concerned I think Paulo is burning himself out, RCG can hold his head high. Dylbags has got to stop being a dildo and start showing us more than potential. Moses is overpaid, has flashes of brilliance but it all doesn't fit as a team. This is all on the coaching/recruitment gurus, and where does our Centre Of Excellence lie in all of this?
Great post. I also feel like there's an absence of someone, somewhere in the club reading the riot act to our blokes and putting them on notice... I feel like a bloke like Dylan Brown getting caught like he did in the urinals banging some girl and bringing disgrace on himself, her and the club would have been the beginning and end of his indiscretions at a club like Melbourne. Say what you want about the Cheese and Munster, they've done the wrong thing and had to own up to it, but in the meantime they've actually won something... Having our players act up and do something stoopid would be easier to cop if we actually won something and had something to show for it....
Respect your opinion but it’s a huge no for me. If we sign a “marquee” player they need to be on the field and fire.
That's fair enough mate. All good.
I've read a lot of shit on here, I've also read some excellent posts. We shouldn't need to read riot acts. At the end of the day our administration, coaching staff and club culture needs to take a good hard look at themselves. Until that happens we can all expect more of the same.
Fish rots from the head down.
