OFFICIAL Michael Maguire Appointed Head Coach

With all due respect, the old boys need to look themselves in the fucking mirror as they are half the reason we're in this entire shit show.

I have loved this club since inception. I love the good men who have played for our enjoyment on our behalf. But these blokes white anted the **** out of Siebs and were always going to have a massive tanty until Kev got a crack.

Well, he did, and the results were underwhelming. By his own admission he missed a "pass mark" of finals footy in 3/4 seasons at the helm. That's 3 out of 4 fails. And not just that, but the manner in which he failed...with multiple players coming out in the media with "he's a good bloke but can't coach"...and the players seemingly not putting in for him towards the back end of this year...he simply had to go. If it wasn't now it would have been midway through next year and that ***** 2026 as well. The club has made the right call IMO.

Now they want to bitch and whinge again? Well get fucked. This club should not be a fucking charity. I appreciate Kev is a club legend, I loved watching the bloke play and I love him as a club hero. He will always be that, no-one can take that away from him. But we don't need to sit him in the coach's job because it's his dream, if he's not getting the results. And he wasn't. So he's gone.

How about the old boys shut the **** up and get behind the club and the new regime, which - from words which have been said, at least, though talk is cheap - seems poised to drag us into a higher standard of professionalism, which should only translate to better on-field results.

If the old boys would prefer us to cater to their whim rather than do what it takes to be successful again - nearly 20 years after our last success, mind you - then, again, with all due respect, they can go **** themselves.

As a club we need to aim so much fucking higher.

It is funny because there is all the talk about the current squad's sense of entitlement and attitude, but it is no different from the "old boys".

The level of entitlement to believe that your opinion on the coach (a mate of yours, so a heavily biased opinion) should be taken into consideration as part of the decision making process is just beyond me.

Doesn't look like you are a fan of the old boys then.

Many of the old boys actually won the comp, so there's that of course. They also of course have the right to their opinion, but whether that holds any weight is something totally different.

The current squad haven't won shit, and shouldn't act like they have.

Not if they're just going to bitch and whinge about club decisions and not support the club - no. If they have ideas on how to do better, let's hear it.

Did they submit any correspondence while Kev was coach? Did any offer their time, knowledge, or resources to help out? Was there ANY discussion that hey, things don't seem to be going well, can we help?
 
The old boys must have also hated playing with the likes of Chris Johns, Terry Matterson, Glenn Lazarus, Michael De Vere, Luke Priddis, Michael De Vere, Peter Wallace etc

I really should re watch tiger town again, it gives a new perspective on how Madge coaches, it's not all hard nosed tough love from what I remember.
