The difference is that he at least built teams at both the Eagles and pies that went on to win flags. He came to us thinking he could get instant success but rather than continue to build he dismantled the core of the playing group and replaced them with top ups that didn't work and continue to clog our list.
In plain English.....gutted the list and replaced them with peripheral plodders.
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Walker Casboult Wright
Kreuzer Murphy Gibbs
Graham, Boekhorst, Buckley, Thomas
Gone with Kreuzer but reckon Wood would do a better job right now than any other ruck we have. Don't need any other ruckman. Plowman was terrific today so straight in. Like to put Sumner in, as I reckon he'll go ok, but might need another week or two. Then straight in.

He left us with a list bereft of talent no attacking options, much the same as he left Collingwood and they are finding that out now.
Be fair now, our recruiting and list management was abysmal long before MM came along.

What about DVR instead of Walker? Has been ok in the 2's through the PS, we need some left footers. How about bring him in a shuffle the others? Or hasnt DVR done enough?

Doggies will destroy us. Great to watch a team that works their arse off for each other. Hopefully that will be us in 3 years. Dont need size next week need workers and runners ,,,,

Best hope is that the doggies beat the Hawks and then have a bit of a let down against us... Otherwise it could be a 100 pointer.
