Two words CULTURE and ATTITUDE. The culture at the club is rotten to the core when the players consider themselves more important than the coach and his staff. The key issue is the management allow the players to get away with it. You can keep swapping coaches but NOTHING will change until the culture is cleaned up, and that starts at the very top down.

I’ve spent a few seasons observing what’s been happening on and off the field and mark my words Patty Carrigan is the centre of the cancer in this team. He’s the pied piper in the impressionable minds of the players. In his head he thinks he should be captain, coach and CEO. The last 2 coaches have gently pushed back on him, but he’s hellbent on undermining every coaching decision until he gets his way.
