Great post. The culture of the club has evaporated and no one on the board nor the CEO seem to mind that the club is regressing, not progressing. A premiership, developing juniors and signing talent from other clubs just don't seem anywhere near as important to those in power than money does.I still love and support my club, but my wife and I have not renewed our membership for 2016, and don't intend to. 4 other families that we usually go to games with are not renewing either. The main reason, amongst others is that we have lost our playing DNA under Des Hasler. Apart from 2012, we play a really ugly and boring style of football. Recruitment and retention is a basket case also.
As much as I respect Raelene Castle, and her ability as an administrator , I don't think she is the right fit for our club. In some ways, I think her recruitment to the top job, was always about cleaning up our club's image and appeasing the media, and critics.
Giving Des Hasler free reigns to the footy department has not been a very bright idea. It is common knowledge that a few members of our board are getting a little uneasy about the situation, and nothing is really being done about it.
As much as it pains me to say it, Nick Politis is similar to Bullfrog, in the way that he hires, fires, makes things happen, does not tolerate mediocrity, and knows how to make a footy club successful. That's the type of character that the club has been lacking for some time.
Perrett has the worst defence of any winger since Eric Grothe Jnr. Abbey couldn't do worse. But Des rewarded Perrett, who should be playing ESL or park footy, with a new contract so Abbey or anyone else can rot in reserves while a player not up to standard is an automatic selection each week regardless of the two tries he lets in each week out of nothing.Umm Abbey has no defence yet people say he is better than Perrett...
LOL ... Just... LOL.

Perrett's stats are all over Abbey's. I really don't see what the wank factor is over him. At present he isn't even Patrick Templeman / Brent Crisp standard.
C'mon mr iUmm Abbey has no defence yet people say he is better than Perrett...

True, but you can't match Abbeys 20s performances with being a superstar in first grade.You can't match Abbeys under 20's stats with Perrets. We all know what defence in under 20's is like. Kids with talent step up in FG. Why not show how many try's they both scored this year, how many they set up. Or a total of points scored. Abbey kicks goals, which we need now. On top I'm sure Abbey is a fair bit faster and doesn't do a shitty goose step zig zag every time he runs.
Abbey *might* feature in the Nines team alongside Chisholm.C'mon mr i
dont disagree with me now
are we going to blood this kid and plan for the future or continue to hold onto dinosaurs and go nowhere
i couldn't give a fcuk if a kid is in there having a go and making mistakes coz at least he's learning however when u have "seasoned" fgders and nzld international stuffing up round after round then what's the point.
perret is rubbish, we won't win the competition in 2016 so why hold abbey and Chisholm back at all
let them get that season of fg footy under their belt
