Those who think its not the coach to blame must have rocks in their head!
The buck stops with coach, be it fair or not! I've been to most games this year and a couple in particular proved to me that the players and I mean the whole team were simply not giving a $hit! To me that simply means either they are lazy good for nothing so and so's or they just don't get or respect the coaches philosophies.
How can it be the past captain and current captain are playing so poorly and they are both good players??
Why is it Darcy Hourigan, Immanuel Irra and Tod Mackay play reserves over other underachieving players??
The team can be turned around for the better but not with the current set up!
This has been happening all year and I do not get it!!!!
3 good local lads too! I have been saying for weeks that Hourigan should be in and look at the reserves this week....6 goals.
The selection this year has been baffling to say the least. Ron playing his little favorites who are so out of form it ain't funny!!
I think personally local talent do not want to play for South.....all the players I speak too are getting too much $$$$ playing in the SFL or GSFL. Minimal training and playing with their mates.
I have not idea how we can change it....but what worries me is the likes of Cross, Wunks, Lids, Crabby looking for better pastures elsewhere, We need to retain these guys!
The recruiting for the past 2 years has IMO been shocking.....many duds that would hardly get a game in a country side. Also usual good players right down in form does not help (will not name them...but Southee's know who they are!)
