Another year coming 9th

[BalmainJnr]

Forgive me if this has been brought up already, but according to social media... Madge has told the squad that no matter how the season pans out they will be treated like grand finalists, meaning they will be training all the way up to the grand final irrespective of if we make the finals. Apparently it’s part of his plan to build resolve within the group and change the underachieving culture.

Not sure that there are words that can describe the deepness of the frustration these 9th place finishes bring me.

If only it was intentional or worth regarding, it would be an amazing effort to miss out by so little so often. You couldn't do this if you actually tried.

3 of the last 4 years, amazing, with 3 different coaches.

Can take some hope that the tide can easily turn

Our AFL brothers Richmond tigers also were known for alot of 9ths and missing 11 straight finals from 2002 to 2012. There current coach started in 2010 and still missed 3 finals series but now have won 2 premierships in last 3 years.

Cool team song too.

@BigUnit Spot on mate. Was listening to Dusty Martin in his post-game interview when he said they laughed at the Richmond board 10 years ago when they said they'd have 75,000 members and would win a premiership anmd now we've got 100,000 members and have won two. If I'm Pascoe I'd get on the first plane to Melbourne and find out what Richmond did and then copy it. My worry is that we don't seem to have a plan. We are doing some good things e.g hiring Maguire, but it all seems uncoordinated and haphazard.

Very true .....far prettier than anyone I've met from NSW

@coivtny YES YES YES. We look very similar to Richmond. Let's be proactive. I know AFL is different, but all good organisations are led from the top.

They have a draft

@coivtny Why does it seem uncoordinated and haphazard? Is it because the club isn't communicating with the public as we would like?

Madge is in place. Hartigan is a step up in my opinion; poached from a successful club. A state of the art COE on the way. Ashfield and Flemington Markets clubs performing strongly.

Yes there is some work to do with adding quality to first grade and CC. Its a work in progress and nightmare legacy from our mate Ivan. I think the club is moving in the right direction and ticks a lot more boxes than what we give them credit for.
