Richmond, Geelong, and Collingwood all faced down the doubters and two of them by sticking with the coach and plan won flags, Collingwood this year in my obviously flawed opinion are probably the only team that can challenge Richmond,
What is our history this century? Bring in (or back in the case of Parko) an "old coach", use him up then sack him for an untried one, three times for zero stability and sustainability
So according to your plan lets do it one more time for the likes of, who? Lyon? Roos?
Or adopt those other successful clubs, stick fat (to coin a Sticks phrase) and see what happens. We do that and all we are doing is feeding the chooks and endorsing the sad fact that we are a reactionary club that is lead by other's opinions..
Northern, my "gripe" as you put it was more about that the players we lost in the first quarter were both crucial to the entire structure for both games, Martin is good enough again to be All Australian this year, so we played two ruckmen to curtail his influence, the "fit"one goes down early, robbing us of the option of an extra tall forward so Kreuser has to ruck all day. This week he goes down, with no back up as we brought in an untried young player who is a forward, not a back up ruckman, Some will say its nadness at the MC but my take is that we are running out of players. Kreuser goes down early (by the way only back one game since being injured!!! My point!!!), game over.
So lets sack the coach as usual.
Those sides weren't down the bottom with one win and going backwards in a hurry. If they were they wouldnt be coaching so lets not talk crap. They were competitive sides. Richmond, Geelong back then were multiple finalists before their bad year. Bit of a difference.
We have no structure, poorly drilled, game plan terrible, players confused as to their roles. We look like they have no idea out there. Like I said you might embrace failure and happy to stay as we are, I'm not. Bulldog sacked their coach then won a flag. They were worse than us in 2014. If they listened to you they'd have won nothing.
