EB I made the same point in one of these threads last year about Cripps. If his current contract takes him to the free agency stage and he's been getting smashed from pillar to post week after week and we're still winning 3-5 games/season, no one in their right mind would condemn him for leaving the club and coming back to WA where his family are and playing for someone like West Coast who are in the flag window....he would've more than earned the payday and the chance to be a part of a premiership.
Like most, I was rapt when BB was appointed coach and at the youthful enthusiasm he brought to the table. But if we finish bottom again this year (and give up the number 1 draft pick) then there is absolutely no way he can stay on as coach...it's pretty cut throat but he'd be aware of that.
Your reply comment to my initial comment summed it up....after years of recruiting young guns with high end draft picks and trades....we still don't have anyone with elite kicking skills! How is that possible? That's not the coaches fault but if a young player has shortfalls in kicking skills, you don't just keep on recruiting those types surely?
