My point is what if Richmond sacked Dimma in 2016 and Geel sacked Bomber before the 2007 season? Now I also know the WB sacked McCarthy and won a flag under Beveridge, but I'll guess and say Macca did all the hard work and the oxygen thief Bevo came along and reaped the rewards. I'll also guess we have sacked more coaches than anyone (or at least equal) and its got us to where we are now. I'm happy to do something different for a change.
While some are prepared to be patient, others will say...Is this really the best way forward?
If we'd just rolled along as we had in the past without a rebuild would we have finished 2 and 20 in 2018...who knows, but I suspect not.
Would we be better placed for the future...you would like to think we would be ...but again, who knows!
At the end of the day football is about success and progress.
If that's not occurring at a very visible and measurable rate questions will be asked of the direction you've chosen.
For some of us older folk ..."as long as it takes" is unacceptable because we may not be around to see the fruits of the rebuild.
