I'm so over the club right now. I'm sick and tired if being in this position, knowing we're going to lose each and every week. Victory fans are bitching and moaning but that's 1 season. We've had it for 12 of the last 13 years! And I'm convinced they're going to finish ahead of us.
My fear is we stick with Deans, he recruits his players but still achieves nothing. He gets the sack and we are back on the roller-coaster of "not my players" etc.
For all the rhetoric that comes out about "turning this around","showing a response" and "stepping up in time of need" this is without a doubt one of the worst sides in our history.
How long can we keep it going before serious questions about the legitimacy of our club in the competition begin to pop up

I said to my young bloke about 15 mins before kick off that i felt the feeling around the place was we are in a worse space both on and off the field than the Stubbins season or the Miller season under the control of the FFA.
Mattiske needs to either grow a set and demand more from the other owners that put him in place to run this show or just fold the cluster %^&* it has become.

I never understood why people wanted Deans to be given a chance anyway.
W-League - 6th, 5th, 3rd (that was the season Martin actually spent and got good players, ie EvE), 7th
Y-League - 7th, 7th, 8th, 8th
A-League - took the reins a few times in no pressure scenarios, and almost always kept the same tactics as the just sacked head coach. Every kick off we go long, lose it and are on the back foot straight away, and today we conceded.
The chairman needs to do something, yes the cattle aren’t great, but part of signing Deans on this season should have been, these are the players we have, you need to get results with them. Interesting thing is, Deans has now equaled Nick Theo’s record, and he got the sack...

Deans is fine as an assistant coach but the above post sums up what I think of his ability as head coach succinctly, as appointed head he's never got a team to perform to their level or above it, which is why I wasn't happy they locked him in for any more than one season, it just makes it harder to see them demoting him back to where he should be, I fear it can only get worse if more players tell him what they think and he wants to get rid of them as well we could be in real trouble by the end of the season...
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
I wouldn't be surprised if Deans is forced to select certain players each week.
Hiw else can you explain Millar getting a start each week?
Deans has always had a way of staying too loyal to his favs. He is too nice to players underperforming and gives them far too long to turn around form. Due to injuries he has had to to make changes but seriously miller/odonavan etc need a rocket.
Not having a dig but you make a comment like this almost every season no matter who the coach is. Reality is our squads are just never good enough. Coaches aren’t going to play someone worse than a player who’s a starter each week but isn’t playing well. No matter who the coach is - it’s most likely the players you don’t want to be getting picked would still be getting picked.
Statistically more riding on the match against Victory than a record 7 consecutive defeats.
If we lose, Deans will have the highest percentage loss rate of any Jets coach (10+ games - and I say that because the 1 competitive match JP DeMarginy coached was a loss).
He's currently got a 61% loss rate, the same as Phil Stubbins and 1% better than Theodorakopoulos (62%).

Tell them who has the best win rate, Jeterpool.
