Another good kicker off half back would explain our interest in Harrison Oliver

I am pleased he is finally out of the club. It gives me more faith in Garlick and the team that they recognised he isn't much chop.

We need less of a boys club and then we need to put aside any internal club goals that are not premiership focussed. I am still hoping for the second part.

Bit of d1ck move saying we should be top 4 next year and adding pressure to the group.

I mean, how much more pressure could there be?

Fell apart with a top four spot in our grasp this year, JL well into his contract, just traded in a star player and the team aren’t kids anymore.

I don’t mind it, there will be a lot of talk next year, players and coaches just need to block it out and deliver.

Yea I’ve never understood that line of thinking… the pressure should always be invited

If you don’t like pressure , don’t be good then , continue being mediocre

Just stating the obvious.

Our list is at a level of preparedness where it is at the strategic level that we need to be held to account.

For example, if we play the old stagers and win or lose, that falls to the coach either way.

If Darcy is injured and we run with Jackson as the lonesome ruck, same.

I'm all for holding the coach accountable, and I expect an extension by middle of the year.

He doesn't need to state anything on his way out the door though.

It was Bell's job to keep people accountable a month ago, not his role any more.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but to me he's saying that he's done a terrific job and if we're not top 4 next year others have dropped the ball. Poor form after 2 disappointing seasons full of excuses IMO and little accountability.

We were an anywhere, anytime football club for about 4 years. Apart from that we've had 26 years of excuses and mediocrity.

I agree that he dropped the ball in the lead up to 2023 season. The issues around Acres and Logue I believe to be a direct result of Bell’s negotiations. The two players alone aren’t that big a deal but when you factor in Lobb, Meek and Tucker it makes for real depth issues being tested.

With regards to his top four comments. I was asked a similar question about 2 weeks ago and had the exact same response. Not making top 6 and going deep into finals is a failure really. I throw top 6 because we saw what Brisbane achieved from 5th.
