Yer spot on Ben! i remember a few knobs going on about his sacking as well. I cant believe after being given a fourth chance to make a living from playing footy that he would just blow it like that. This kid needs serious help because this was probably his last chance.
If he doesnt perform?
The kid is a moron. All the talent in the world will never compensate him for what is missing between the ears.
Seriously, he can't be expected to work miracles in one year. I would consider a top 8 spot to be a good year. More towards top 6.
But Folkes was expected to work with last years team?
I didn't fault Folkes last year other than he persisted with players who were letting him down. He should never be remembered for 2008. Folkes was there for a long time, and the team needed fresh ideas.
But we do have a strong team this year, if we come in the bottom three you cannot blame it on rebuilding or anything like that... It would have to be injuries or bad coaching.
bro the kid has a problem with the drink.
If we have a bad year like 2008 I will give it away. I don't think (hope) that is possible. But if we did, Moore will be under immense pressure.
Drinking is fine in moderation and i think he has some anger issues that need to be dealt. Removing alcohol will not solve this.
alcohol has certainly exacerbated the problem. alcohol makes people disinhibited, and they lose the ability to feel pain.
If he's got anger issues before even drinking alcohol, you can't just blame the grog entirely. As you said it might help however there is a deeper issue that needs to dealt with and just saying "stop drinking and you will be alright" is absolutely rediculous.
i'm not blaming the grog entirely. i acknowledged it was an antagonist to an underlying problem.
