Drinking the pre season Kool-aid

We were drinking the Kool-Aid from day one of the pre-season. Big gulps. 
Every little thing in the off-season felt like proof we were onto something. The Lomax stance? Finally, we’ve got a backbone. The club stands for something. Love it. 
Pezet on a one-year? Sneaky smart. You start talking yourself into how that could actually be a Ryles masterstroke. 
De Belin, Kelly… yeah alright, maybe. 
Then all the Moses chat kicks in. This is the year. Breakout. Leader. The media and Journalists start backing us. Everything starts lining up nicely in your head. 
Then the season starts… and it hits you. 
We weren’t building anything. We were just talking ourselves into it. 
All that “identity” stuff? Turns out we suffer from multiple personality disorder, and none of them are good. 
Classic. Cheers for the Kool-aid it tasted better this year.

  • It could have been 'flat Aid' because they've been flat all year

  • Like i said Mark O'Neil has to be fucked off from the club in order to see changes under Ryles. If we sack Ryles and get a new coach with Mark O'Neil still as GM expect more drought and pain. It's upsetting that when we appointed Ryles we should have gotten a clean slate from the football side of things not keep what was left from the past BA era. Jim needs to get his shit together on the football side of things.
