I think the squad in Syd runs well because of the environment that the players work in. at leasrt that's the widely written about perception. It's not the luck of personalities.
You have a point about MM, but it's hard to forget him calling Milney a rapist, then lying about it, then 'fessing up because he was caught on camera. I wouldn't compare his version of values with the way that Sydney is run. I can't help feeling that MM plays mre to favorites aka Daisy.
I see Roos as the new way forward, and Malty more the past. Not to say that MM won't be good, or to deny that he did mould together a motley crew. it's just that you asked why some really wanted Roos. I prefer the game style that Longmire has now, but the underpinning work that people laud right now, surely that's come from Roos?
Yeah well, Clarkson beats up on walls and swears with children in ear-shot.
The Scott brothers whinge like a pair of school girls.
Bomber Thompson takes the crown when it comes to lying with Ross Lyon a very close second.
Vossy is..........well..............sadly, Vossy.
Sheedy had lost the plot years ago, according to most.
Hirdy plays up behind his wife's back, etc etc.
Roos the new way forward? I don't know but I'm not into New Age.
End Game: We don't have Roos and should he venture into coaching again, it won't be with us. Done.
never say never with Roos, but by then, there may be others carrying a similar philosophy. I didn't mean being new to coaching or 'young' when I said old school V new. I meant carrying a more evolved holistic approach. Putting an emphasis on personal growth, family and connectedness at Sydney, has taken them a long way. Meditation does bring calm, attention to detail, health benefits, and great perspective. Should be mandatory for Alistair.
if you've ever practiced it, then fallen off the wagon for awhile, you'll know the difference it can make.
I don't know if they still do yoga in a group way up there, but of course there are great benefits from that too, as it also involves breathing techniques that calm the mind. If that's what you mean by 'new age' anyway.
I think those things are more timeless age.
So, new or younger coach might not value any of the things that Roosy brought to the club, just to clarify that point.
Of course, you don't need any of that stuff to win flags either. Malty no doubt has plenty of tricks in his bag. As you say, we move on.
Have we missed an opportunity for real cultural change at the club?
So far, it look like we might have. No decisive hand at the wheel to take a stance with Scotto.
Roos would have been a good get no doubt, but I get the impression that some here would have then pined for not getting Malthouse.
Malthouse said that being out of the game more than one year is too long as the game moves along too quickly and you won't catch up.
If this is half true, Roos would have been coming from a long way back after three years out of the game, come 2013.
Some of this Grand Final or bust talk, is just a show of petulance.
As we saw this year with our injury count, anything can happen.
Make no mistake that teams Adelaide, Sydney and North had better years than expected for not having the injury hit that Carlton, Collingwood and West Coast had.
The Grand Final had two teams with only one player each, missing from their best 22. Coincidence?
