Dear Members,<\/p>\n
As a football club, we talk a lot about making our people proud to belong. I understand that following yesterday\u2019s result and the season more broadly, we have not achieved that ambition this AFL season.<\/p>\n
While there have\u00a0been moments to celebrate and the progress of our younger players has provided hope, the season in totality has certainly not lived up to our expectations as a football club.<\/p>\n
The inconsistency in the team\u2019s performance week to week, and sometimes quarter to quarter, is incredibly frustrating –\u00a0and everyone whose heart beats true, including myself, are\u00a0frustrated riding this roller coaster. In the last 24 hours many of you have voiced your\u00a0disappointment\u00a0and anger. We understand it and we acknowledge it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a former player and now President, I love this football\u00a0club\u00a0and I want nothing more than for us to be successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are a proud and ambitious football\u00a0club\u00a0and with that comes a responsibility to perform.\u00a0We are not in the position we want to be right now, however your Board and I are committed to doing everything required to have our AFL program performing at the level we all expect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lastly, but importantly, I also want to address a serious matter that occurred yesterday. Following the game, the club became aware of an online post directed at our Senior Coach, Simon Goodwin. While we understand the scrutiny that comes with poor results and the emotional investment people have in our game, what Simon was subjected to was totally unacceptable. No one in our game should ever be made to question their safety as a result of coming to work to do their job. We can accept criticism but disrespect and threatening statements hold no place in our game or society.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n
Brad\u00a0Green
