Okon resigning has taken some pressure off for a bit ... but we still need to see meaningful change ... Gattie tweeted their was good news on the way... even if you can't say what ... is there something in the mix ...

Did it take some pressure off? Somehow feels the opposite
I am mindful that I don't want to get hopes up looking at the what if's when the reality is lots of hard work and culture building is vital right now. There are changes to how we go about things all with the intent to keep what is working and bring back some of the aspects that we have lost over the last couple years.

Like being competetive and scoring goals?

culture building is vital right now.

We had a good culture once.
.....No backward step, fight till the end, run down that impossible ball....

Thanks for the reply, and look forward to how you plan to put your "intent" into practice .

Hi Shaun,any chance of an update on what is going on?
It`s been months since your last post & in that time we have seen half the team either get the boot or they have walked.
The members here have been pretty patient & have picked up tidbits of information from here there & everywhere to try to keep people informed
but it would be very much appreciated if you could drop us a line or two.
I realise you may be a little busy...

No. He was just talking about Matt Simon.

Wasn't he on here a fortnight ago talking about the WWL team?

And didn't we make four signings prior to the last couple of releases?

The signings were general releases the WWL was in another thread

What would people like SM to say? He clearly outlined MC's plan and we are sticking to it. Why is everyone surprised when we are doing what the club said it would do.

. i was thinking up a reply when i re-read your post and saw you had referred to MC and not MM as my brain initially defaulted to ... a response is now not necessary

That was nearly 2 months ago.
An update on where we are at (with MC`s plan) is all I asked for.
I have the utmost faith in Shaun.
I don`t think it`s too much to ask (bearing in mind the number of questions that came direct from this forum) that Shaun gives us an update on how things are progressing...

I agree. SM has the faith of most. Unfortunately MC and MM have yet to earn it. So it's good to keep track of the KPIs that were established. Although I missed something I don't know what this plan is, as outlined by MC.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Plan was that MC will continue to underfund the club so that it cant be competitive.

- Stated why we need to keep working within our means and money situation won’t change until the FFA release the reigns
- Upscaling our youth program
- Getting the right coach
- Changing the culture
- Staying focused on the bigger vision to build, become sustainable and be here for many years to come while hopefully turning around the on field performances...

Which Mulvey is committed and positive about doing and how to do it. Tough gig but I’m rooting for him instead of just endlessly slagging the owner for not being willing to lose more than a mill a year on us forever more.

If mc is losing more than a $ per year ........... he needs to change his accountant

Hey guys
Whilst i see that there are plenty of requests for updates and info on what is happening and how. Right now as the team are just all coming back is that we need to roll up our sleeves and work very hard right now. Rather than do a lot of talking our focus is getting on with the job and getting to a position to let our actions speak louder than any words.
Fixing and building new relationships, building culture and driving change is all paramount. Recruitment is a daily topic and evolving by the moment so all I can really say is stay tuned.

I will jump back on in a couple weeks once we are ready to speak more specifics,.

It is disappointing to at least not get a list of players that should be fronting for preseason. That would satisfy so much of the negative and worrying speculation on the forum and make the new signings relative ????

What about fixing and rebuilding confidence in the people on this forum that will be asked later to spend ???

Hi Offsider

First official day of training is tomorrow, there will be some media coming from this with the information you seek - just a day too early. Also every time we announce a player we have our squad lists and this is available on the website as well. In regards to fixing and rebuilding confidence for people on the forum I am sure is to be tempered with making sure that any information is factual and accurate - last thing anyone wants is talking a big game and failing to deliver.

Am I confident yes, but a lot of very very hard work needs to happen right now.
