this is what i posted on the ovingham football club site tonight
i am absolutely disgusted and embarressed by todays preformance,effort and the circumstances about today
\today was the darkest day in my time at ovies
to loose is never easy ,it happens to all sides,but the way in which you loose and the reasons you loose are two seperate things
RESPECT,RESPECT,RESPECT
it is everything in footy and life
when you dont respect the opposition,you dont respect yourself
when you dont respect the game,you dont respect yourself
when you dont respect your team mates and club,you dont respect yourself
to have 8 guys pull out in the morning of a game because they are intoxicated,locked up or both or just cant be bothered you will never get any where
in life or in the game
the next three to four weeks are going to be hard for the club
but it is not the win/loss ratio that i am concerned about but the way in which we conduct ourselves and represent the club
i am trying to teach a club and a young list the values of life and footy
to some clubs and players that mighten sound to be my job but when you are creating a culture from the ashes this is the best and only way to start
if the club and the players are not prepaired to work hard at this,and that goes for myself and the supporters,i am the wrong person to be in charge
think about what you want and what direction you want to go in

we stand as one
we fight as one
we win and lose as one
we are one
