@rohan_connolly@ESPNAusNZ Great read.
One phrase in a sentence summed the current situation up perfectly for me:
“the absence of hope…”
Without hope what do you have?
@DavidZevan29@CalTwomey He was there at ground zero - the very start with Hardwick, Leppitsch, Lade etc. unless you’re suggesting the rebuild began after 2016
@CraiG_Mc He has no reason to leave Sydney. Has a great life. He’s proven he can coach so he has scratched that itch. Probably doesn’t need or want the pressure. Has an easy 9-5 gig these days
John’s going nowhere.
@Damian_fasciani I don’t understand why Collingwood let Malthouse go when the players wanted him to stay…..but they did
Don’t know how they could ever have employed Craig McRae ….but they did
Don’t know how your B&F voting system didn’t see Nick Daicos win last yr… but
You do you.
@PeterBremner3@Jimcuso@essendonfc@AFL They’ve drank the Kool Aid Pete.
I would suggest he’s a political beast who has sold a narrative. They did extend his contract based on something. What I can’t exactly imagine….
@LPconlan@CraiG_Mc I’ve backed the club in for a long time & it’s done nothing but make poor decision after poor decision
I will support a Coach being backed when they’re worth backing.
My opinion is that the current coach and his panel aren’t worth backing & should be relieved of their duties
@FOXFOOTY If you are objective in your assessment, we haven’t improved this season. If anything we’ve gone backwards
That in itself should spell the end but our board has drank the Brad kool aid will leave things as they and skip happily down the path to insanity
@Knight_Ryders The board lacks the courage to make that call
Easier call to hide behind his contract term
Tougher call to acknowledge you made a mistake and that we’re not progressing
Prolonging things just makes things more difficult in the end
@C_Corday Sense & sensibility from The Kid, something our coaching group seems to lack. He always had great feel for the game
Two things have never changed in footy-the highest score wins & effort is not negotiable
Our effort level could be systemic. If so, that’s coaching
@ScooterMcNeice We can draft as many “elite” talents as we want. We have no leadership on the footy side of the club
Here’s a Blue Sky thought: go get D.Daly and H.Andrews from Brisbane-2 guys that won’t accept mediocrity to lead these kids
Unlike Brad, Daly knows what good rebuilds look like
@kurtmans@ScooterMcNeice Plans need flexibility OR maybe you have the wrong people leading a good plan
A tried and tested management philosophy : If you can’t change the people…….. change the people
