I will buck the trend and say I think it is a really bad decision. We will just have to see how it ends up.

I am totally for McDermot and will back him all the way, but I am getting increasingly frustrated about him continually complaining each week about how little training they have got done due to the weather. Then with an opportunity to get working in a warm quality environment, he then cancels it. I find that strange and inconsistent.

Fair play

There seem's to be a few "between the lines"comments about Bluey coming out ,like the one in the sun concerning Senior .
I wonder if Bluey was asked to leave,pushed even.his resignation did come all of a sudden

When and what was said mate?

well i cant dowload news articles,but it was posted on totalrl.com,but that is down now for maintainance,but basically Senior said "this pre season has been refreshing and its gee'd us all up ,the training under Bluey got a bit run of the mill ,we had TS then bluey came in and just tweeked it up, MAYBE THAT WAS HIS DOWNFALL".We were all dissapointed how it went last year ,but under brian we all feel great"It was an article from the Sun.
I just thought the word "downfall"was interesting

I always felt coaches had a finite lifespan with any set of players, typically 3-5 years. Perhaps McLennan's time was up. Then again, a healthy Mcguire and Peacock at the end of the season may well have seen another GF win - being able to beat the eventual champs, away, in a playoff game suggests the potential was there.
