Truth is the club as a whole has taken its eye off the prize as they say after those successful years. What has Gale got left to prove? Peggy is leaving. We have some mentally tired coaches and players.
If the club was on the ball after last years signs that we were nearing our dominant end with this list and coach they would have called in Dimma and Fly and started a transition phase. It would have kept Fly and Leppa at the club and at the same time allowed the senior players to exit without all the intel and experience off field leaving with them.
Now we have a coach that is past his due by date on a salary that will hamper our assistant coaching team which in the long run will have a huge impact on the development of our youngsters coming through.
Sonsie and Gibcus look like A grade talent but they can only go so far and reach certain levels depending on their development paths around them.
Im worried we may no longer have the ppl at the top who will make the tough calls as they seem pretty comfortable still basking in their premiership glories.

Have heard Dimma pretty much say that exact thing without actually saying it if that makes sense on one of the footy shows or an interview
Thanks for the reply.
I wonder if there is an interview somewhere this can be confirmed..
might Do some scouting..
Cant remember the exact interview but was earlier in the year. Pretty much said his success and now earnings are a handicap to the football department due to the recent coaching soft cap and not having the space to improve/expand the coaching structure.
Agree. I thought he studied on trying to be like Bill Belichick of the NE Patriots but doesn't look like it. Interesting to see what happens at seasons end especially if we do miss finals.
Correct.
People are jumping at shadows. Yes there are some discipline issues that are on the coach, but if the players were throwing in the towel and we were getting soundly beaten the "Move Dimma on" brigade would have a point. But that's not happening.
It is clear the players are playing for him.
We have some personnel issues in our ruck/midfield that combined with a poor run finishing in front of goal is costing us some close games.
Like Spook says that is why we are losing. Not the coaching.
You must be joking
Seriously been issues since Mrs Hardwick , Leppa and Fly left the scene
Coaching is terrible !!!
