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.....
They play defensive football first.
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....

His kicking boots were on before Hinkley got there. Has averaged 30+ goals per season since his arrival at Port Adelaide back in 2010, and kicked 40+ in the seasons that Primus were in charge, and Port were a rabble. His major talent was making the most of limited opportunities. Always was a good kick, had the potential to take the competition by storm in a good side.
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?
Garlett may very well be what he is today because we cut him loose, and now he is making the most of his second chance for it. We can never know if this would have occurred with us, or whether that status quo would remain, but we got a glimpse of his down days in round 2.
Menzel could be the next Wingard. Wingard averaged 21 posessions in 2013. Menzel shows promise of being a wingard, one day. he isnt the same beast at the moment, and in a more attacking game plan, might do well, but I dont think he will achieve Wingard's level without a serious growth in his ability.
Robbie Gray is another one who was always a solid player, played 7 seasons and found peak form. Nick Graham could become like him, in time.
Laim Jones wont ever be a schultz, and I think its unfair to make the comparison. Might be able to do a Westhoff if we are lucky, but not a Schultz.
Hinkley didnt rotate the squad he rotated the game plan and mindset of his players.....whats to lose in trying a new attacking model?
We have a few boys that can play their roles, but we dont have all the ingredients and most of the Port boys showed more under Primus, than our boys currently are under Malthouse, and just becuase Hinkley reorganised them doesnt mean that ours will all of a sudden become twice the player they were.
If we are talking about Port as an example of how to turn things around we have to look off field as well. What was it that Kochie brought to the club to creat a suitable environment for Hinkley and the players to flourish in?
This. Very much this, and I can tell you, he didnt chop the recruiting, make broad statements about rebuilding the team, and make public sentiments about the teams fortunes for the season. He fixed the back room, and left the footy department to the football people. If Kochie were to take over Carlton, we would probably chase him out with pitchforks because he does most of his work in Sydney, and what could he possibly achieve from there?
That is where we are different. The leadership at the very top. Talk is cheap, and that's all Carlton is good for.
