BOARD MIGHT BE OK WITH SEASON, BUT FANS ARE NOT

AFTER reading the comments that Geelong Football Club president Colin Carter made ( GA, 10/9) that he was satisfied with where his club was at and to basically disregard the ire of the many keyboard warriors out there, may I suggest Mr Carter is delusional in what he thinks is acceptable behaviour of himself and his board.

To disregard the opinions of these people, and there are plenty, did he ever consider a generous amount of these so-called keyboard warriors are, in fact, members of his club?

In that case, after spending their collective hard-earned on memberships and the often trumped up extras like September Club, where members are encouraged to spend up to $500 to secure their right to buy a grand final ticket, should the club qualify, then it beggars belief that they would extend Chris Scott’s contract for another four years, rather than wait a few extra weeks to see how 2018 panned out?

We are now faced with a coach incapable of gaining finals success, due to the inability of him to train the team to withstand the pressure that comes when finals come around.

In fact, teams have worked Geelong out and to secure four points through the home and away season, all that is required is to bring pressure on to the players and they will reduce them to a fumbling outfit incapable of scoring a winning result.

From top two finishes, resulting in straight set exits, to qualifying by the skin of their teeth, perhaps it’s time the club listened to their membership before the premiership window is slammed shut, if it isn’t already.

Poor decisions keep on keeping on, holding on to players who are injury prone or letting others walk away, like Caddy, Varcoe and Vardy, who are all playing finals while our list contemplate what costume to wear to on mad Monday?

Sadly, it seems the board is comfortable with mediocrity these days?

Then again, I’m just another dumb keyboard warrior. Robert Lymer, Belmont
