Since 2000, we've had Parkin, Brittain, Pagan, Ratten, Malthouse, Barker and Bolton. That must be close to an AFL/VFL record, even if you take Barker out. And look where we are. And yet people think we should sack Bolton.We have a list full of talent that is under performing.
Individuals not giving their best in a system that doesn't allow them to. We consistently set up in the wrong places around the ground, repeatedly watch the opposition exploit the same defensive failings in our tactics, move the ball slowly rather than take the game or run together in offence and fail to offer anything resembling pressure around the ground.
The zone defence doesn't work and we keep making baffling player selections. We all see it, the commentators see it and it appears that the players know it. The only people not seeing it are the match committe, Bolton and the coaching panel.
Rather than clear out the list (again) and try the same deficient coaches with a new group I'd rather see the same players given a new game plan, coaching group and development plan (and maybe medical support so they aren't playing injured)
