We've given the job to a passionate favourite son (Ratten)
Back to the supercoach to take us that final step (Malthouse)….and then levelled the joint and rebuilt it with a promising youngster with a good assistant reputation. (Bolton)
Now if this doesn't work...
Where do we go from here...and more importantly how do we take the members and supporters with us....because their faith will be severely dented, and trust gone.
A coach will never get the same latitude to rebuild again.
Starting with Parkin, the pattern has been : experienced / rookie / experienced / rookie / experienced / rookie. I guess after Bolton we need an old geezer to keep the streak alive. But this time, we should do it properly. Get Barassi. He's old enough, successful enough, and I believe can deliver a good spray. To quote the title of a Fauves album, The Young Need Discipline !
