Reasonable from the inheritor of Walls' mantle, Lloyd.
He's not far wrong
He is spot on I think
Don't think I've agreed w Lloyd before but it's fairly accurate. List Management and recruiting is and has been our biggest issue for a decade.
I'm comfortable with drafting of past 2 seasons but it needs to keep going. Graham, Cripps, Holman, Buckley, Menzel give me some hope for the future but a lot more needs to be done. Unfortunately it takes time and we've waited long enough.
He isn’t telling us anything we didn’t already know.
Our list is getting older.
We need to inject some youth into our team for the future.
Our player development and recruiting have been less than acceptable.
We haven’t played our players in their most damaging positions and our structures and game plan is detrimental due to these circumstances.
Injuries have struck at the worst possible times and at the same player types.
Malthouse’s old game plan is shit and he needs to adapt and innovate.
For one reason or another our coaching and development have been dreadful over the past few years.
What we need is an injection of enthusiasm, discipline, work ethic, some luck with injuries and a structured game plan.
We had some bad losses last year for all sorts of stupid reasons but with another year of analysing, good decision making and recruiting we should be closer to rectifying those mistakes.
