Surely we can do better than Webster......never heard him talk anything but general terms to the playing group...

Teague was the last coach, reserves or senior, that we saw any player development under!

DT regularly got better results.
I agree,

They don't go back and tear it up anymore, it just never happens.

Last weekend we saw a bunch of U18s push experienced AFL players to within a couple of goals, not one of them dominated!

It says something about our attitude, it says something about our mindset and it says something about our coaches!

Is the NBs a training ground for "going through the motions"? I haven't seen much of them yet this year but it certainly seems that way from reports.
