We all knew he would.
Last season was as much about the players losing faith in the club as it was anything else.
When the club calls season over in round 3 there is not much you can say about guys who revert to just going and then walk out at the end of the year, but it does tell you about their desire or lack of it which is why none of them will ever win a flag.
Interesting enough last year when the going got tough the tough got going and got rough, thinking of Kreuzer, Ed Curnow, Patrick cripps and a few others who are with us. I think the blokes who should be most worried about their future with us are those that went missing last season.
I didn't understand this post the first time I read it, but after reading it a couple of times, I finally understood what you meant and I concur 1000%. I watched a doco/series on Anna Meares on the weekend (she is a sporting hero of mine) and her old coach made a statement along the lines of "you are only as good as your worst day" meaning flashes of brilliance every now and then amount to nothing if you are very ordinary the rest of the time. This applies to the three that left us.
