Agree 100%
A thought - Deans may see the interim role for what it is, decided not to put his hat in the ring in hopes of getting the full-time gig for next season?

Just Announced - Clacka is the new coach. I'm not sure about this move - Will he have the support of the players? Can't be any worse i guess, but doesn't have a super record as a youth or W-League coach.
I heard that GVE had finally lost the support of a few senior players.

Yeah, TWG has it that "Youth team coach Clayton Zane is expected to be given the reins on an interim basis till the end of the season until a long-term replacement is found."
It does seem odd that he would be given the interim job over Deans.. Not sure how I feel about Clacka at the helm..
let's see what 'inZane in the membrane' can do
I wonder if we will see a jump in the membership tally?
signing up for a membership now - where are your seats baz?
As for Zane as far as I am concerned the jury is still out on him.
Jets Yoof in the NBN went down hill after he took after from Pappas in not just quality of play but results.
Last years NBN was a disaster except for the fact we blooded a pile of young blokes.
Our results in the NYL are nothing to fap about either when you consider these blokes are together all year against other teams who congregate just for the NYL
As for his coaching well he has more of an idea on implementing the GVE way of play than Gary did so that's a positive.
That also being said I feel a great coach who was a former player should get good results from his players who play the role he used to play back in the day. On that note Kale has regressed in the last 12 months under Zane.
That being said Zane always picks Kale despite his indifferent form and rarely hooks him so obviously has some love for the bloke.
I am not convinced he is the man for the job but will give him the support to take the opportunity. Bloke pairs Kale and Griffo together this weekend against the Scum then I am calling for a statue for the bloke though

I felt a tribute was necessary
