Tom Trbojevic was a Legend

I get the whole not playing for the coach thing BUT why aren't they playing for themselves or the fans? FFS, it's their fxcking job that they get well paid for. There are plenty of other reasons to play than just the coach...... This comment not directed at you or your comment but just a general question about the often used "not playing for the coach" excuse

While I agree with the sentiment but let's be real. How does the average Joe feel when their manager or boss is just a total tool and they do all the work and the boss reaps the rewards? Pretty angry id say. There are 20 or so grown men in our team who can put in this year and save Seibold for another 12 months of the same mediocre crap. They know he has no idea, they know hes not the man to take them to the promised land, they know he has to go... do they make the 8 in a wimper and save him OR do they play a strategic role and have the guy removed and get a new start on 2026. Looking at Seibolds history where would you fall if it were you?

Sorry, EOL, I’m with Wombat on this one. That’s just a popular fan myth trotted out when a club is doing poorly. If you can’t lift yourself to put your best foot forward for your own pride, your own self-respect, and for your team mates (regardless of the clown running the joint), then you are probably not being true to yourself. Leave and find something better suited to your life path.

Or, are we happy for mercenaries lying to themselves and their team, club, and fans, to build a team around?
