Ive been fortunate in my lifetime our club has never been 'down' and out of finals contention for long ..
since following from around 1992 (strong from 93-99), 2000 was the first real season we went very poor but we bounced back quick with good recruitment and 2001-2007 was a strong period
2008 was a disaster and things looked grim but off the back of signing Ennis Kimmorley Hannant Jmoz Stagg Eastwood (all in 1 season) things improved out of sight & we were unlucky not to have a minor premiership in 2009
2010-2011 was poor & off the back of a new coach we had another solid run 2012-2016 with 2GFs
Our current poor run 2017 & 2018 is now looking like a bigger mess than what weve experienced in our past 25years, with a rookie coach, new board , young team & no players of note recruited yet..
Weve been fortunate till now but the club now have a big responsibility to ensure this situation doesnt drag out .. the way things are looking it has the potential to continue for a while..
Good management & good decisions all round from the board to the coach can change our fortunes , its a crucial time, but the situation we are in now as serious as we have faced in a longtime as it can drag on for more than just a few seasons
