The players are lost on field. They aren’t sure of their structures, their movements or their setups. They are running around pointing fingers and blaming each other. They have lost belief and confidence. It’s so obviuos.
The coaches are clueless withe placements of McGovern back on Elliott, Moir deep forward, HoK on Micheak, are just 3 that had me scratching my head from the start of the game.
Just make the change - we need too.
Surrey - so let me ask.... put your "coach" hat on and tell me given the players out there tonite (or any other game), what would u do?
Out list is a shambles - end of story. You could have a coach that can walk on water - and even then they could not change what we have seen here....
As an argument, let’s say it’s not game plan and players therefore haven’t lost faith in the system and it’s the group who can’t kick, run, mark or play at an AFL level. My goodness, you believe that, then I feel for you, but alas, let’s pretend.
You want to keep Voss, then you need to trade every single one of our core players who can’t play, as you say, including Weits, Charlie and Cripps. These three are terrible currently. I doubt very much you’ll be able to trade everyone, in one hit so either way, you’ll set the club back another 10 years, because if none of them apart of a few can’t play the modern way, then removing one or two or three players will not work. In essence, we now know Voss can’t set a culture so by the time all players are upgraded, the old group will just infect the new group with their bad habits of kicking, hand balling or more importantly individualism culture.
I think it’s too late for Voss. He needed to make a statement within the first month of this year. He didn’t and showed a weakness, which is now irreparably due to no one believing in him or his game plan. Unfortunately, I tuned in at 3 quarter time and was watching the leaders being talked too by Voss. That was embarrassing, as not one of them was truly invested, or half engaged in the discussion.
Bring in a new coaching ‘team’ who are willing to play hard ball and take ownership from the start. The football department will need to be aligned with the coaching group. I’d say the whole football department, including all coaches and admins aren’t aligned. We also know the new coach will need to be a serious b@$tard that doesn’t take bulldust form the players and makes the hard calls when and as needed. Then weave through who isn’t or doesn’t want to be on the same page and make the hard calls every week, month and year.
It’s time to get a serious coaching group who are backed by a hard assed football department and who take the lead and set the standards. We haven’t had one for a very, very, very long time. I can also guess when the club as whole went off the direct road, but that is best at another time.
Unfortunately I feel our last premiership was the start of our new club culture…..
