Still think he will stick, but a bit more uncertain now, according to some close to him he is all over the shop currently and that has spilled on field.
That's the downfall of recruiting interstate kids.

Their was far more push when the AFL were trying to ship us off to the Gold Coast compared to now going to Tassie but I’m sure more pressure will come. We need to dig our heels in again. Too much time, money & effort has been put into not only surviving but to establishing our home base at Arden St & becoming financially viable (including being the first club to cease poker machine ownership).
I sincerely hope our president/board have the same guts & ticker that Brayshaw, Archer & Co showed previously.

This is all media BS, they used to kick us when we were up the top of the ladder, now we are seen as an even easier target - even though we are the last AFL club to officially bottom out I can't remember any other clubs copping this much crap.
Internally and off field the club couldn't be in a better position, Ive got faith in the leadership and take comfort that we are not fighting back with the media, putting all our energies into getting better on field as god knows thats where it needs to be.

If you keep getting low numbers to games (11000) its only a matter of time before the off field stuff gets affected.
Trouble is you have to start winning games for the attendance's and memberships to increase.
Can't see that happening for a long time.

You're kidding us aren't you?
Every club wants attendance, the TV deal isn't the be all and end all.
So does the AFL.
Without bums on seats they lose money.* And the crowd atmosphere for TV is all important, as we found out during covid.

Rewarding good form or just picking him to try and have some positivity around the place?
12, 9, 6, 4 disposals in his last 4 games
