"I certainly think that we have got the talent in this group to take us to the next level, but I think blokes are just not playing together as a team at the moment," Yarran said.
"Too many blokes are willing to play for themselves, I guess, and not the team.
"We spoke about that a few weeks ago, working together as a team, and I think if we can do that we will win more games. We have showed this year that we can match it with some of the best teams, but not being able to get over the line is pretty deflating.
Finally a player has come out and said what l am banging on about. Basically not playing for the coach or the game plan.
Stop micro scoping the list and fix the coaching panel first. If the coach can't get the players on the same page, then there is something majorly wrong. Ratten had to go, but we got the wrong coach in. Move him on until you get a Ken Hinkley type.
2 mths ago Mckay said that they asked the players if they were happy with the game plan, got leadership involved to ask the other players, all came back with a response that they were behind the game plan. Why would you disagree with the plan and be put in the magoos for rest of the season?. Stupid move by the club.
2mths on, there is still a massive issue between the players and the coaching panel.
Coaching panel needs a blow torch before the players. If they are playing for themselves, then that mostly means the players don't agree with the gameplan, don't understand it or don't respect malthouse.
Game plan wise we were a shambles against GWS, we should never of lost that game. This is virtually the same list which finished top 6 in 2011 with more experience now. You don't fluke that.
