The Dolphins - a very forgettable first year back.
Body: 

Back to the drawing board?  We all try to be patient and positive but its hard to see many positives from the year except for the fact that they have blooded a lot of kids. 

First time I can remember a Frankston team not putting in. In terms of talent there have been some ordinary Dolphin teams over the years but they always managed to give a decent effort. Very disappointing from a supporters perspective to go and watch a team not enjoying playing, not wanting to be there and not giving a satisfactory effort. Individually there are some talented players in that side but too many appear lazy, are not team oriented and dont play with anywhere near the intensity needed at VFL level.

After 6 rounds at 2/4 it was looking OK but the wheels quickly fell off...Losing their last 11 matches  by an average of 84 points per game. One game to go is against Richmond and another 100+ point hidng looms. Not exactly the ideal finish to the year.

I would imagine a very large turnover in personel is needed for next year. Theres probably only 5 or 6 players who deserve to be re-signed. Not sure how long the coach was signed for but all coaching staff should be looked at too.. something went drastically wrong in the last half of the year.

Hopefully  this years results wont affect memberships for 2019 too much. Frankston supporters have been through thin and thinner over a long time now, but who is going to keep paying for memberships if this continues?
