how much worse can it get?

well season 2015 over folks, how much worse can it get? well for one thing ed sheeran has joined the cast of summer bay and i had to perform the heimlich manouevre on lovie . poor lovie she was so depressed by saturdays effort she was choking on her haighs chocolate!!! omg like you and many others  i am somewhat bewildered dwelling in the realm of what could have been or should have been, taking residence in the world of footy pain. how long i stay there i do not know, let us hope that it is short lived...

     ok i'm out...what you gasp in disbelief. that was the shortest stay on record, and how on earth did i manage to achieve this miraculous recovery you may wonder? well it is pretty simple folks. despite this disappointing season i have faith that the team will actually benefit from this deviation to premiership glory. the line to the grandfinal does not always run in a linear fashion folks. if this season had been hinkley's first then no-one would have much to say. if this season had followed 2013 many would have not been surprised. it is a bit hard to swallow that only two games have kept us out of the eight and there are certainly a handful of games that we could have won but simply didn't. but has our form warranted it? to be brutally honest...as much as i am pained to admit it, the answer is no. as ken famously once said, " you get what you deserve." and quite frankly that sums it up precisely.

     so many ifs, if we hadn't lost polec...if we hadn't lost ollie for those weeks...if we, if we, if we. in the harsh reality of the football world, if we's stand for nothing. when someone exits, then somebody else has to stand up. so for these last four games i suspect that the fringe players may get their chance to prove themselves and give the club a  reason to keep them for the future. if not, adios, time to get tough, be ruthless and have a springclean of stocks and replenish with a few who can add more depth and strengthen our back line for a start. in my opinion we need a defender, a forward and some grunt in the midfield. i will be interested to see what path ken, the coaching staff, the players and the club follow. we may be surprised by some of the changes but football is also a business and the dollar has a very loud voice.

     if it is mental then it it will be time to toughen up and dig deep and do some footy soul searching to see where they're at. yes potential, potential, potential but that ain't much good without action and discipline to back it up. ask me, i'm a teacher and i should know. i have seen students squander their potential because psychologically they just can't for whatever reason seem to get it together. and i have seen students with far less potential who have far more motivation and incentive to suceed. so who is the easier to teach? no guesses for the second. however, the first is the one who can have the greatest influence if they can tap into that potential of gold and turn it into something usable.

     so how much worse can it really get viewers? the answer is when supporters stop supporting because of one season that hasn't quite gone to plan. when i the self appointed commandress ( teehee) of the lady army and her troops throw in the towel and give up. but that ain't about to happen now or in the near future. when the going gets tough the tough get going. so listen up guys, play the season out to the best of your ability and press reset for 2016. come back, bigger, better, stronger and hungrier and make that your mindset. we know how tough it can be when the weight of expectation becomes a burden so now you can set yourselves free...well in four games time you can, hee,hee.

ta ta for today,
