I think we(Carlton) suffer from a lack of understanding about modern football, the appointment of Malthouse fairly confirmed that for me, we thought one geriatric could out coach a panel of experienced opposition.
Modern AFL match days needs a panel of high performers, coaching very well, to have success. One weak link and you are doomed, and we've too many B-Graders in supplementary roles. It's no good guys like Barker solving the problem three days after the game!
But it's a problem that is rife in the AFL, they ones that stick around are often megalomaniacs who think they know best, and if you have an executive that spends all day sniffing armpits instead of cutting the weeds you are stuffed!
Like how Chris Fagan is doing at 59?
