I am of the opinion that despite the outs, we had the talent on the park to beat NM and yet...It is something that pervades in the club. Unless you get rid of 40 players and most of everyone else it's gets ingrained and "handed down". It's can get entrenched into a club.
Took the likes of Richmond 30 odd years to rid themselves of it, sacking how many coaches in the process. Even the great Allan Jeans couldn't do anything with that club and gave that one up.pretty quick. Neither could Robert Walls. If a culture is poor a coach can be helpless.
