When you appoint a coach he must first be a bloke that has respect in the football community AND be a good bloke. Players and supporters won't put up with a coach - no matter how good he might be - if he isn't a good bloke with strong disciplines. Have a look at their past few coaches. I've watched enough amateur footy matches since coming to the city and the club has had poor leadership in terms of discipline. Secondly, the recruits over the same period haven't been loyal or disciplined. Stay for a year, take the cash and go - this doesn't help players, coaches or supporters yet while those players are there they are treated like "top" players. Except they weren't- in fact most led the charge when you talk about lack of discipline. I hope the club can make the right choice - but just maybe the committee needs to ask for outside help in choosing the next coach - someone who is not connected to the club but knows what is required to make a club improve. The committee hasn't a great record in choosing players or coaches.
Well said Sheeds some excellent points you have raised, hopefully our commitee thinks the same way
