Living interstate I don't go to many games anymore. My support, which has turned more to hatred and disgust is limited by watching games on tv, that's about it.
There isn't a need to highlight Mary's lack of achievements. Day in day out I read of people's lack of faith in the coach. Every insult, every stat, every logical argument has been used against him. After many opportunities it is now clear he has next to no supporters as far as the average fan goes (except for those one or two who support him just to rile others up).
The reason being under Mary, with some excellent players at his disposal we've seen:
- some of the worst and most clunky attacking teams ever in the red vee
- the most mentally weak and chokable teams in the red vee
- currently what I believe is the most heartless team in red vee (all because poor Jack can't play or whatever the reason is)
- a desecration of statistics including having the wood over a bunch of teams, some floggings with hardly a 50 point performance in our favour
- above all, the least number of 80 minute performances of any club under any coach (I can think of less than a handful in his tenure)
We know the media protect him avidly, which stinks of agenda, but anywhere you turn the fans have now turned on him completely.
As someone who is powerless to vote with my feet, why then, I ask, has there honestly not been a walk out on the club by fans? Why have the people kept purchasing memberships? Why have there been no banners or protests against this board? The Oust Doust campaign of yesteryear gathered support amongst a bunch of passionate fans and that feels like nothing in comparison (he ironically did help secure us a coach who had the goods).
I can't help but feel the people are in part to blame for feeding this all by enabling it.
