If you can unequivocally see your club copying some other successful club, .................. sack the lot of them because they are formulaic morons!
The biggest positive move Dimma ever made was identifying and sacking a bunch of the micro-managing coaches, then putting the players led by Cotchin in charge of their own fate. Now he has a team that mostly coaches itself, which is a nightmare for most oppositions, and even worse this year now that runners have been limited.
When we see our players run into dead ends, freeze like rabbits in the headlights, and drop their heads instantly, that I believe is a sign of over-coaching, not necessarily by the head coach. It is not natural for any kid who makes it to AFL to be a quitter or to look defeated on the playing field.
