I decided to commit to the Saints when they got their last wooden spoon in 2000. I really think that some of you need to get a grip! (IMHO) Thank God that the players and coaches have a wee bit more G&D than some of our supporters!
Its the ADHD generation Jiggler. They want what they want IMMEDIATELY and then cry like babies when they dont get it.
You are right with Watters. He is a realist and basically said there will be pain for the next 12-24 months while the club reloads.
But look at the right moves in just 12 months.
With average DP's we have had
Milera
Saad
Newnes
Dunnell
All first season players getting a game
We have had Wilkes show glimpses, Gwilt and Lenny back from ACL's showing good form and we have had continued improvement of Armo, Jack, and cameo appearances of Stanley (whom you can NOT be excited about) and Ledger.
We have a core of older players who are at their prime or just past it who will guide the process though over the next 12-36 months and we ABSOLUTELY have the right blokes in Watters and Pelchen who have their eyes on the big picture.
So be deflated (Lord knows I have been since the final siren of GF1 2010), but keep your nerve. We wont go down the Bulldogs or Melbourne paths, I am sure, but we are in for some dissappointing seasons.
BUT....we will be back and in the top four and once again going for that 2nd flag.
Keep the faith.
