Three weeks can be a long time in Football....I doubt that there is any support for "Jade the blade"  now.

But make no mistake the list is "scheissenhausen".Poor old Jade is left to coach a side full of Boys/VFL standard players.

I have no hesitation in saying (as I have all along) that if the process deems him the best person for the job then he should get the gig.

When it is all said and done we have no idea what his plan for the future is, just like we have no idea what Hardwick's, Hinkley's or Richardson's vision for the RFC is....

Do I beleive Rawlings is the right person for this job?  Yeah I do, I have from day one and I haven't changed my mind

If the process deems that he isn't the right person then so be it but if the process deems he is then he should get the job

I think that Jade will make a fantastic AFL coach.

Despite peoples perception, he has great attributes and leadership skills that will make him successful. How can people expect him to turn what Wallace left him into a Premiership outfit in 8 weeks, no one could do that.

No, but we have every right to expect some sort of attitudinal change and apart from the heady emotion of the first couple of weeks there has been zero of that.  I agree that one day he will possibly make a good coach but it's plainly obvious it's not yet, not with us anyway.

Well they expected Wallace to do it after the crap he was left by Frawley.. maybe not 8 weeks  but certainly sooner rather than later.
