We may be just a forum guys, but we are collectively the canary in that mining cave. When we start to fight and lose our shit at what is going on, slowly, the media and eventually management absorb what we see first.
However, while that may be a strength for us, it is also an annoying weakness. We have many on here that start freaking out like a panic attacked canary if a miner farts a few metres away. So we do flip flop a lot and it comes with the territory of being in a forum with a wide age range.
Having said all that, this Press Conference was our mouth piece was it not? And everything they decided to emphasise as important and is going to pave the way for the future was exactly what Hasler had failed at.
Here are the interesting points that I believe insinuate Hasler created a lot of damage to our Club: -
"We are happy to have one our own come back to the Club" - Dib is probably reinforcing the fact that we did not have one of our own and it did not work and now we do!
We always were going to interview Pay and Dymock because they were from the Family - Dib has another dig that Hasler is not from the family and they were not going to make the same mistake twice.
Important message to our fans - it will be a different looking club than the one we are used to. - In other words, we are so going to be doing things very differently than Des!
Over the preseason, we will work out the best way for the team - in other words, we won't be enforcing our ideas like Hasler did, we will play to the strengths and skills of the team.
Everyone is going to be included in the Club - from the juniors to top - everyone is going to be included - bring back our culture and the family tradition. - This tells us that Hasler was arrogant, exclusive and fractured the club - people did not feel they mattered or were included. His rules and his team is all he cared about. Everyone else was nothing to him.
The systems and pathways for our juniors to come through - the fact that this needs a lot of work and attention means Hasler completely abandoned our life blood that expresses our DNA!
Players who have come through the juniors care more about the Club. - Does this pretty much say Hasler was not a Dog and he did not care about our junior base one little bit. Completely neglected it and we have seen the results!
Immediate positional change indications - Hence, Hasler had the make up of the team all wrong!
We won't be copying anyone - we will play with a little madness (Dogs of War) - no more Hasler lame playing toothless with no character and without the growl. Dogs of Madness or Mad Dogs might be our new slogan. lol
"I want to be a really aggressive team with our defence, and especially with our attack." - Does this not show that Pay and co are not impressed with Hasler's robotic attitude of just playing to the statistics?
"Pay also revealed that hooker Michael Lichaa, who was told he had would not be re-signed under Hasler's watch, was a chance of remaining at the club." - Basically, Hasler completely misused him for years and we almost destroyed our chances of realising his potential as a Dog.
How refreshing to have Pay talk so easily without disjointed ums and ahs and fractured sentences?
2018 has got to be better now that alignment is happening with our values and a management team that wants to and is confident they will deliver them.
