And what did we achieve when Eddie and Jeff were kicking 50+ goals? Oh that's right, sweet FA. We weren't good enough then, and yeah we've gone backwards, but there at least we seem to be more proactive in getting the right cattle in now. Trade in cheap quality (Docherty and Everitt) and head to the draft. We'll do the same again this year.
I wouldn't blame the players for the club's policy of not talking with anyone unless a deal was in our favour.
I don't blame the players at all. I'm simply saying that changes needed to be made and we previously didn't make them. Having 3 good small forwards was never going to make up for having 2 legitimate KPF's. Mick is trying to build the kind of list we need to be a contender. When we peaked under Ratten that list wasn't good enough to be a force. That's not to say we didn't have some players playing good football, but we needed a whole team playing great football. Eddie and Jeff had some good seasons under Ratten, but that wasn't good enough, so why shouldn't we look to change things and make them better?
And Daisy is smashing it at the moment.
