He doesn't want decent assistants - he only wants yes men.

Green (green), Capuano, Barker, Wiley (mate), Laidley (mate), Osborne (green)

Again, in any workforce think of the impact statements like "we'll sack 25% of the list at the end of the season" has on morale.

He's turned average players into shit players.

The game has gone past him.

He's turned average players into shit players.

The game has gone past him.

Where does the coach's responsibility end and the individual player's pride begin?

Why should a player who wants 700k a year not chase the opposition?

Why have a coach at all.?

Everyone was saying "Tuohy will go to another level. He'll get the best out of Gibbs and Murphy; we'll be a team that is hard to play against"

Now the same people are blaming the players

He's a dinosaur. Wiley is a dinosaur. Sticks is a dinosaur.

Whatever the game plan is, it's not going to win us many games.

The players look like they did when they new Pagan's game plan was rubbish. It's inconceivable to think we are going through this again with a stubborn old coach.

That's the story at the Pies apparently, Buckley and the assistant tried to talk MM into changing his game style but he wouldn't.

This is such a strange post. When exactly did Buckley and the one assistant try to talk Mick into changing the game style but he wouldn't???

Was it in 2009? Perhaps acceptable, but they were in fact proven wrong.

Was it in 2010? Then they're idiots, because Collingwood hardly lost a game and won the flag.

Was it in 2011? Wow! Just wow! Reigning premiers. Kicking butt again. Finished top 2 on the ladder, and made the GF. And lost to a gun team by not much. WTF were they thinking????

Was it in 2012? Well Mick had left and Buckley got his way and could implement his own game style with his assistant. That's been going well.

Look, I'm not sure whether Mick's game style is the right one in the modern era, but please everyone, don't insult our intelligence by
----- a. judging it in this rabble of a club with this rabble of a list; and
----- b. saying that it didn't work at Collingwood....

So people are calling for us to sakc another coach that will have to be paid out a shitload of cash?

Hmmm ... I have held back today till I calmed down.

Its now clearer than ever.

We have appointed a super coach.

Who cares whether his tactics are antiquated?
Who cares whether he is reluctant to try some of our youngsters?
Who cares that we have regressed since he took over?
And if he happens to lose the playing group ... who cares?

What matters ... is that we have Dr Strangelove! As I have said before ... a supercoach doesn't win 1 premiership in 18 years by sitting on his hands.

I am more confident than ever ... we will make the top 4 within 10 years.
