Time For The Blood Letting... so lets make it constructive.
Firstly, at 57 yrs old, and born a Berries baby, I think that I have a lifetime of supporting this mighty Club as credentials to voice my opinion... plus a draw, shed and house full of Doggies Stuff to go along with it....
Right now, it is time to dispense with the season's reflection. That is for things we already know... Impotent attack, lazy defence and zero commitment. Players dictating when they will or won't play...
Where do we sit in relation to other clubs... where do we sit in achieving a ninth premiership. In my lifetime, this is now the second longest period without a Premiership. The once mighty Belmore Crew have been reduced to a rabble. A young enthusiastic bunch outplayed an experienced group like ours. We are just to slow and not well coached. We have no imagination in attack, or any idea on how to control the game. Our kicking game is mediocre. And we have played the same style of footy for the past three or four seasons.
For years, I wished for the days when I could watch my team play at that most spiritual of home grounds... my beloved Belmore. We now sit at 1/4. Belmore is now our Graveyard. If we can't lift for Belmore, then when will we..??.. I spend a lot of my childhood at Bemore, and there is still skin from my knees on the back of the Terry Lamb Family Hill. The history of this club is immense, and with every poor year, we do damage to our brand. So what now....???
1. I have been a great supporter of Des.. The day he left Manly to come to my club, I rejoiced.... loudly.... but now, five seasons on, it is time for Des to make the decision and move on. I don't want him pushed, I want him to make that decision himself. But I have to say that along with Des, the whole coaching staff also.
Resolution.... Hire Ivan Cleary. Let him being fresh ideas, coaches and a way to rid ourselves of the boring footy style we have...
2. At All Cost... get Foran to this club. We need a half that has the ability to be that link between the backs and forwards... Foran is quality, and once he undergoes an off season with this club, we will see the best of him. Same with Jamal.... get them back healthy, fit, and who knows, we may just play some entertaining footy.
3. Mybe to No: 9. Lichaa is not up to the task.
I can go on, but right now, I'm tired, I'm spent.... My footy team have disappointed me.... I don't want to think about this until tomorrow....
