Ok, seems for one final time the lesson has been learnt. Once coaches start pushing 60 they can't keep up with the game anymore. Malthouse, Sheedy, Matthews etc.... were great coaches, could re-invent themselves many times but as they get to a certain point in time of life they can't change, keep up or adjust to the list they have. Quite a few times MM has chucked the game plan out the window at half time only to turn things around. If only he'd learn from that and do it every week from the start. Like it was only recent he won a flag, just missed a second time and making Buckley look 2nd rate at Collingwood. Why do we get them when they're past it.
Anyway, time to use Cripps, Giles, Graham, Holman as well as continuing with Buckley, Menzel etc..Nearly all a physically strong enough to play seniors. Being young they might be inconsistent, get tired as the season goes but it's often surprising how it often freshens a list and give it some life. Can give them a break in the twos occasionally if they need a rest.
Agreed
Save the kids.
Keep them away from this monster!
