This is what happens when you do not go through a proper process in appointing the important, critically important position of senior coach of a leading sporting organisation. And that is on Liddle. Appointed popular as opposed to best.
Well, Sayers, are you another in the continuum of impotent Presidents of the CFC over our recent history, or do you know what it takes to be gladiatorial, and lead gladiators to a premiership?
Would it have made a difference? Hasn't so far in 20 years. Player motivation comes from within and only peer pressure will drive it. Coach can only encourage. Teague has actually the 2nd best record here by far (low bar admittedly but some bigger names have gone worse). The players did this to Ratten, round 22, 2012, when they lost to a depleted Gold Coast, 2nd bottom, showing little effort, when we need to win to get into the 8. It stamped Ratten's papers and we have regretted that move ever since. He was the one who at least got something out of us, even though our bad culture, which showed up in that game. Players don't have the will to be a good side. Haven't for 20 years.
