Two things after Round 2

[Thryleon]

Saad is very good but we lack a few pieces IMO....Collingwood are an average mid pack team and we couldnt handle what they served up. You look at their team and apart from Grundy, DeGoey and Moore its workman like at best.
Had a drop off in talent with Treloar, Stephenson and Philips all departing in a chaotic trade period and a coach who is in turmoil off the field and we still never looked like it. You add Eddie losing his job, racism issues and they had a few excuses to bail this game and under perform but it was us who keeled over like we had all those problems.
I think part of our problem is thinking we do have the pieces... a lot of unproven pieces IMHO. Saad being an exception and as you say worth pick 8 and earning his money.

We are on our 4th senior coach the whole time Buckley has been coaching Collingwood.

I wonder why they're better drilled.....

Ratten, into malthouse into barker, into Bolton into Teague. 

If you add barker's acting role its 5 senior coaches.

Thats not to absolve Teague.  What id wager though if you rank the clubs in order by longest serving coaches, off the top of my head you'll rank them roughly in order of success over the last 20 years.

There's something in continuity.  There's no coincidence that the smoothest transition of coach we've seen recently has been at Geelong and they just played in yet another grand final.
