..and it still would.. ..lyons plan has worked for years now, clarko's too.. ....all require nonstop effort, and genuine team work.. ....no plan works with us cos we are lazy, when our talent was at it's peak and Judd carried us, we could still never get close to top four, cos we lack effort.. ..pure and ample.. ..salty malty might not be the answer, but he also is not the problem..
So because Clarkos game plan works and Lypns too, Malthouses must work as well?
I love your logic BKB.
Our game style is nothing like Hawthorns, or Freos so why compare?
Yes all game styles require effort and genuine yeam work but they also require strategies that work. This gamestyle became redundant 2 years ago when everyone else starting implementing the press. There is no room for your high half forwards or key forward to lead into. Thats what Mick needs to understand and obviously you as well.
Coaches counter strategies and this one became a dinosaur after 2011.
To suggest its all because our players are lazy and we had success because Judd carried us is lazier.
Mick isnt the problem but his actions are well and truly contributing to the problem. Inflexibility. Poor support coaching group, the recruitment of Thomas.
All to suit his purposes, not Carltons.
..that's not what I said.. ..what I said is this, the game plan is less important, than the understanding and team work to carry it out all game all season.. ..mm game plan may not win the flag, yes.. ..never said it would, but it will get you to finals which is what I said.. ..the press didn't stop mm, the press is lot of mm plan.. ..the way mm wants us to play isn't too dissimilar to Lyon's system.. ..
..do you think Lyon has reworked his saints style all that much?, serious question..
..we aren't talking about a decades old style here.. ..the Strangelove bomb is funny, but it is not malty.. ..it is us, we have been bombing it blindly for a decade.. ..the bomb is the blues bad habit style.. ..I can tell you any and every defence focused coach hates the bomb.. ..mm system was understood late noughties, yet they still made top four.. ..media talked it up, those top two years with a flag and runner up, it took a champ team to beat them, and it was champion driven, not a picking art of system, but hard work and finishing skill with composure.. ..our team is not a team, has not played as a team for a decade.. ..blame what you think is the mm game plan, go for it.. ..and when he is moved on sooner or later.. ..you can blame the next coach.. ..like we have collectively done before.. ..its easier to switch the coach, and just ignore the playing group culture..,
