Come on mate, you know league, of cause it’s on the coach, but if you are a first year coach coming into a long term losing squad, and you find all you’ve inherited from previous coaches is a lazy culture, bad discipline, and an entitlement type attitude exists, you do your best with what you’ve got, and then injuries occur and you have a shit season, you can’t just sweep that straight out, because they have contracts ..
I’m not wanking Ciraldo off, I’m not wanking Burton off .. but I am old enough and and I’ve been around long enough to know when you need to cut people some slack ..
At 23, I’d like to see us continue training Burton & let him grow into the role for a bit longer with some better quality players around him … I’d like to see what Ciraldo can do with a team he builds, and I’d like to see where we can go with the juniors Gould brings through .. because at the end of the day, I don’t know who else can get us back to the top ..
As I said, if it’s a failure I’ll be the first to put my hand up and say you guys were right,
Until then, I’d really like to see you blokes get behind these young kids more & level of the criticism ..
