Just quietly, this is exactly what happened when we hired Malthouse.
I stupidly bought into the coach needs to do it, and if the players dont like it they can F off.
Then the players F** off, and we were left with an uncompetitive mess of a team, whilst the coach was being outcoached by the new generation coaches who could pick apart his game plan blindfolded.
I think you sell the players short, they were genuinely playing for their coach, the JSOS to the ruck was a sign of just how short on players we were running by the end of the season.
We were the most competitive we have been in years over Teagues tenure. The north melbourne game was the first time I saw us uncompetitive, and with the sword of damocles hanging over the club, its no surprise that the wheels eventually fell off the Teague train.
Those sorts of scenarios are the ones that test what our club is made of and thus far, we are batting at 0-4 out of the last 4 coaches who didnt have a genuine reason (read the sanctions by the AFL for Pagan) for being as far behind as we were.
In the past I've gotten into a few to and fros with people over stuff with other posters, and I am not interested in getting into it again now, because I just have reached a point where I sort of dont care anymore (thanks to the way we run as a footy club).
I've gone from believing in what they are doing over the years, to believing it when I see some results, and I wont really be excited by any move we make, because I expect the next coach to be sacked in 3 years, with much of the playing list off sided in the process, because we have disunity and sooner or later, we are going to have to cut a few players loose who arent buying in, and that will include some genuine talent that we cant afford to lose (as it did last time).
Let' put your new found love of Malthouse into perspective then, to help with those biases.
Mick clearly has no issues with boards.
