Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 23: Carlton vs GWS

[PaulP]

Lyon is a massive step up on Teague.

DT has shown himself, on multiple occasions, to be pretty much clueless come match day.

And very weak defensively.

Is that on him or his assistants?

Both.

I've seen nothing - zero, nada - to suggest DT can get us to finals, let alone a flag.

Some of the losses to lower teams were inexcusable.

Some of the match committee decisions during the year were simply inexcusable.

Lyon got both the Saints and Freo to GFs with lesser lists than we have presently.

We can attack as well as any - and have the  fire power to capitalise....

We just lack defensive structures/systems. Lyon's specialty seemingly.

You can only make a rash assessment of a coach after 50 games in 2 interrupted seasons. Neither Clarkson nor Hardwick etc. looked like flag coaches after 50 games. I disagree that the Saints and Freo lists were lesser than ours. And Harry McKay will probably start looking for a new home.

We can all see how many flags, GF's, coaches have in their past, but that's irrelevant to us. We need to know how many flags they have in their future. We've been seduced by coaches with previous success before, and got burnt, twice. The model that gives the best chance for success is right before our eyes - stability, unity and build from within, but for whatever reason, we can't see it, or refuse to embrace it.
