Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 3125891, member: 8290"] I thought about it some more last night in bed. I think the primary issue is leadership. I'm not talking about some arbitrary loose term, I'm talking about genuine leadership at training and on the field. Think about it, we've got Seibold, who's more or less a rookie coach and has a young coaching staff around him. On the field we've gradually lost all of the grit, leadership and determination over the course of the last few years, Parker, Hodges, Thaiday (pre-burgers), Boyd (pre-neutering), McGuire (people were happy to let him go, but I'd argue he's the one we're missing the most at the moment), Gillett, McCullough. Even if you remove the players who were regulars in first grade, we lost the likes of Tagatese and Fensom last season, both of whom were great around the playing group. Do you want to know when I knew we were going to get destroyed last night? When we were standing at the halfway line waiting to kick-off at the start of the game. I thought to myself "Ok, this is where the leaders rev the young guys up", do you want to know what our entire roster did for that 15 seconds leading to the kick-off? They stood motionless, not a single player said a word to anyone, they were essentially standing there looking at the ground like nervous teenagers (Which is what they are). I feel so sorry for the kids on this roster, they've been thrown in the deep end with slightly older kids and immature adults. [/QUOTE]
