Check my record mate.
Whether it's defending Murphy and Clarkson from boo boys, being one of about three people in the support to call out Gannon from the very beginning to advocating Turnbull for the first team a year before it happened I'm usually pretty good at seeing the overall picture. And I got a lot of criticism over every one of them. It goes with the turf when you are ahead of the curve.
Unfortunately we have supporters that I'll defend dross that sticks around while abusing good players that move on and kids that don't, or barely, get a chance.
I get it, your loyalty is admirable. Except it isn't. Who's your best friend? The feckless yes man or the guy that tells you you need a kick up the back side from time to time?
Take the last player I had a real pop at, Carl McHugh.
Probably the same people defended him and did we miss him when we finally ditched him? Nah, we brought in Gorrin and Gallagher who were both light years ahead of the guy and we went on our best run of performances and results in about 5 or 6 years.
Now there's a fact.
