Under Des we made 2 Grandfinals, produced a dally m player of the year and had one of the most exciting seasons in years. People need to stop acting like the entire Des era was all bad.
When Des was signed for the 2012 season, with an inherited roster,
1)Barba had already been i grade for 5seasons
2) we were minor premiers in all 3 grades.
3) In 2013 the DEStruction commenced the junior development was abandonded we became wooden spooners in NSW Cup & 3rd last in the Holden Cup
4) Jagged a GF in 2014 where we were never in the contest FLOGGED 30 - 6 at the big dance.
5) Atrocious retention & recruitment underDes/Cleal
2 names Cook & Finucane glaring examples of the ineptitude
6) we are only NOW turning the Club around....
the Des era was a nightmare
