Bolton or SOS?
Who is at fault here?
It's not black and white, the recruiter does what the club and MC demand, the coach and MC work with what the recruiter can deliver. In recent times the demarcation point seems to be the appointment of LoGiudice, prior to that any measures are somewhat irrelevant.
If you identify just one or the other, you are basically just picking a side in a chicken and egg argument. To me that would be a return to the even worse times in the later days Elliott or Malthouse. Men who time had past!
The first part of being a successful AFL footballer is getting the football, we have no problem doing that we already win plenty of contested ball across all lines of the ground. As plain as day our problem is using it once we get it and that problem resolves with experience. Whether those youthful players lack that ability, or are just failing to execute as required is yet to be answered.
