It's been a massive shit storm for the most part and haven't really seen any positive development with our juniors. I accept Covid played it's part but we could have done better in this area.

2021 it's the year that all of us looked to 3 years ago, many years of watching other teams gun players and wishing we had them. For myself looking at zero tackle and club websites to see when guns were off contract when wed have money to spend and hoping our club would make a big play...some would say we are still yet to make that move it really has been a long and painful road.

Looking ahead though im very pleased with the Cotric signing, young, powerful and experienced, can't wait to see him in his natural position.
The appointments of Barrett and Furner really fill me with belief that this will be one of the more positive offseasons in recent memory with a complete overhaul in the way the football club operates. The proof is there with the recent list of players we will be moving on from after Saturday's game, real change has finally come!

Anyways good on all you ***** for sticking around, alot may argue over players, board and other issues...but we are all here because we all love the club and want to see us rise again. Hopefully once Panthers season is over T-Baz reveals his hand and we have more reason to get excited.

We might not be all the way there untill 2022-2023 but I reckon we’ll be causing a few headaches for some of the other supposedly better sides next year. Off season couldn’t come soon enough I just wanna hear some signing announcements the suspense is killin me

With our current roster if Barrett can get us out of the bottom four he's done a terrific job. Almost coach of the year stuff. I'm still hoping (basically has to be contracted players) we can recruit two to three more good (by my standards) players before the start of next year. If we don't I'll be very disappointed. If we're able to do that we're a chance of the final top 8 position imo. If we don't recruit for 2021 then I'd like to see 2022 signings before the start of next season (a mixture of both would be great). For the board to be in my good books this is what has to happen.

12th or above is not coach of the year stuff for me but I agree otherwise.

ITs probably going to take 2-3 years to be competitive and consistent.

If we see the immediate results of greater strength and fitness and agility and 6 again era gameplans and tactics, as well as selecting the best team, in their positions, bench rotations based on fatigue requirements and more confident execution with specialised positional extra coaching, then we will improve. Have to.

That is indeed the light at the end of the tunnel you can see Mike.

Bring on the promised land that is 2021 and beyond.

Also looking forward also to a more united Kennel forum next year with less whingeing and infighting. Let’s keep it classy.

We have lost plenty of ganes by 6 points or there abouts, so if Barrett can get us scoring on average 6 points more per game, which im very confident he can, then we can definitely make big moves up the ladder next year. Obviously it depends on injuries and how other teams perform, but its very much possible.

Good on you mate and I’m happy for your backflip. You were quite negative for a while but good to see you back

Also for us with our roster, losing players like Hopoate and Elliott for an extended period is almost season over. CHN and Okunbor (how good has Okunbor been the last two games) at the start of the season really F'd us too. I still find it hard to have high expectations with this roster. I'll start to believe when we start getting those W's. One signing if it's the right player (it's obvious who we hope it'll be) can inject life into this team. I agree there were plenty of games we should of or could of won but there's something wrong with the mentality (maybe ability) when we're in those positions.

I’m quite happy to put not just 2020 behind us but the last 3 years
There is no point of rehashing over the politics and how it all came about,
we have a new coach & support staff which will lead us back into the winning circle.
Looking forward to once again attended games and watching a competitive team in 2021.
Hanging out lol

Looking to 2021. Big thing for me is New Coach rather then new players. Hoping Baz does well. Will certainly welcome new players and so glad some off the bludgers are departing.
