Chelsea have the biggest budget in European football. They buy the most expensive attacking players and then play a defensive system.
By even mentioning them you miss the point.
They can buy a new team like we used to back with form 4's
In afl not everyone is on the market, and you can't rotate your squad as quickly in the off season. It takes time or you go backwards.
In Afl things are cyclical. We cut our up short anticipating the up wouldn't get high enough. Maybe too early or not.
Be honest can you see us improving in Port Adelaide fashion, if we change coach and if so why?
Is it the amazing key position talent?
The United board pursuing excellence?
Do we have a home ground advantage?
An abundance of talent stifled by our game plan so that they can no longer hit targets, Hunt the footy, or defend in any capacity?
I'm dying to hear why, the cause for such optimistic expectation under a new coach when carrots, Simpson and Judd are looking a bit tired and the rest below fail to fire weekly.
Chelsea bought right and attacked for most of the season to build up their points lead and only defended in the latter part of the season to plays safe....smart manager is Jose M.
Jose developed that team of stars into a team and empowered his players, picked a hard nosed captain in Terry and let his skilled players like Eden Hazard play...he didnt send Hazard out to be defensive
player who marked opposing players....
We could learn plenty from Chelsea.....
Port were a rabble under Primus like we are under Malthouse...Robbie Gray went from being a copy of Colin Sylvia to the best player in the comp under Hinkley last season...
Schultz was a badboy lemon at Richmond who couldnt buy a goal...now is one of the premier FF's in the comp....
Why cant a Nick Graham be coached into being the next Robbie Gray, why cant Liam Jones do a Schultz?......why cant Menzel become like Chad Wingard?
What has Paul Roos done to make Jeff Garlett a new man?
Hinkley didnt rotate the squad he rotated the game plan and mindset of his players.....whats to lose in trying a new attacking model?
