- the year after the grand final win he came out saying "finally, i've got the team set up how i want it" and we finished dead last.
- was the wrong choice from the start
Does it say more about the club (who hire the coaches) or about us fans (who bag the shit of them) that your summary of GVE could also apply pretty accurately to Branko, with the obvious exception of the post-grand final comment and taking into account the fact that Big B probably did favour footballers over athletes?

Hard to judge from the other side of the world, but seems to me like Gary is losing the plot (if he ever had it). Time will tell. I honestly expect us to lose to Sydney at home this weekend, as per usual - it's how we respond and perform and gain points (or fail to) for the rest of the season that really interests me.
