Seems Murdoch-Masila was a direct swap for Ford. If he goes and out and stinks it up next week and Ford has another blinder, Griffin should be thrown out of the building, head first! We only get fringe first-grade journeymen while out juniors Griffin has no time, if not excel, do well at other clubs.
In my experience young players need two essential factors to help them make it into 1sts. They have to believe that they have the confidence of the coach and they believe that they can continue to develop their skills under that coach and receive the necessary guidance. I would say that young Ford became dissolutioned with our present coach.
But Hook didn't want Ford around, not vice-versa. No indication Ford wanted to leave as far as I'm aware.
That's what I said the coach did not obviously want a keep him. All this talk in 2020 bringing the coach to the club because of his ability to identify, retain and develop young stars into 1st grade. He has failed miserably and should have been shown the door.
Absolutely! What he said he was going to do and what he was apparently brought in to do, the opposite has occurred.
Did he say that? I don't doubt it but it just seems so weird that he has seemingly done the opposite. I remember reading on here recently someone said if Griffin didn't rate the current juniors, so be it. Maybe he was right. But if so, he should have identified the young players at other clubs stuck behind established first graders and recruited them, not journeymen no other club wanted around 30 years old.
Before discussing this further, can I suggest a new or existing thread? This was supposed to be for tipping.
This is what Ben Haran our GM said
Those comments look like a sick joke now

What's going on with JoDragon's tipping these days?
I have no interest in putting everyone to the sword so early in the season.
