I though all the money to Leading Teams was going to deliver a Geelong leadership Culture?
Too many introverts was the verdict, which seems more like the on-field assessment of many selfish players.
We are still going down that road trying to pay overs for mercs in Cloke and ***gasp** Q-Stick and not taking players we can work with and develop.
Rhys Shaw, Mitch Moreton, Marty Mattner, LRT, Ted Richards, Shane Mumford, Mike Pyke, Ben McGlynn, Josh Kennedy, all second stringers or discards.
Ironically we can't even keep our big money man 206 on the park (to sleep through games), with which the draft pick used 'could' according to some have delivered us the Norm Smith medalist RoK as few years back.

That a team of moderate draft picks will always beat a team of high draft picks because they play as a team and for each other.
Tanking is not the only solution but I guess some of us knew that!
Well done Swannies, your fans have every right to be prowd of your club and the culture it has built.

A Champion Team will always beat a Team of Champions.

How they did it

Pretty much sums up what we're all saying...

Hopefully Mick puts the same fear of God into our assistants.

Interestingly, of the players 6 traded in, 3 were for picks above 30, so that quote is a little misleading.

LOL

So we would be a better team with more Russells Griggs etc.. than we would be with Murphy Judd etc???

Yes Johnny... Tanking is useless if you dont have the right structures and coaaches around the place......

What will Mick get out of our list you reckon???

And Collingwood tanked for Thomas and Pendles...

Shit clubs do half baked stuff....like allow a coach with ittle idea to coach it for 5 years cos it has 3 number 1 picks and Juddy....

What role did Keiren Jack play yesterday?

How'd Sam Mitchell go as a result on that role?

Every team 'tags'.

But a team of chaampions playing like a champion team would beat them both....

Mick will need an assistant that wont let the playes get away with anything......

Too many of our players do all the lair stuff.. and have been allowed to get away with it...

Garlett kicking around corners.
Yarran not keeping his eyes on the ball.
Mids run one way....downhill
Waite falling over.....
Walker not doing the team things....
Falling in the back of players when tackling.
3 up none down (including Betts)

etc etc etc

The only point made is the one that was missed - and that is Sydney have the best team culture and player development program in the AFL.

Blaming the coach for development is the biggest cop out yet again.
Roos/Longmire & Thompson/Scott come to mind!!!!
Yep 2 different coaches winning premierships with same player lists!!!

Oh and you cant do all this... if you have a coach from the burbs...

actually im so glad they rolled Hawthorn.

Hawthorn tries to control the game..... Sydney with less X factor took the game on and won.They stuck to their game plan of putting Hawthorn under pressure across the board..... not tried to tag them out of the game.....and kept coming back inside and cut them on the counter.

Classic soccer tactics!!

Hoooooray!!!!.....

Need real coaches who are brave ...... and not just egg and potato types

Youre dreaming...!!!

And Coll under MM weren't that far behind.

The father of modern (screwed up) Carlton is David Parkin. Left our list a shambles post '95 (MgGuane, OReilly, Mansfield, Charles........)

We have NEVER recovered. No ifs, no buts
