What has Mick done then??
Well he has been a genius of sorts shifting Rowe to defence. He has it would appear helped Levi get fit and develop some inner belief. He has overseen a marked improvement in White. There alone he has basically found 3 KPPS many of us probably thought would never make the grade. He has turned Yarran into a very, very good player. He has overseen a marked improvement in Gibbs. He was instrumental in getting Everitt across, who right now would probably be in the top 5 in the B&F. He has backed our besieged captain to the hilt. He has thrown down the gauntlet to Jeff and Waite – hopefully he can turn them around like he has Yarran. He has managed to get very admirable efforts of late against some of the best sides going around, only lack of skill letting he and the club down. He has helped Robinson have his best year to date. He has basically seen the face of the 22 change by about 10 names in 12 months, a huge feat and evidence he is introducing new, mostly young blood into the team despite the ridiculous bellyaching of silly fans who seem incapable of seeing beyond Nick Graham.
About the only thing he hasn’t done well is he has overseen some poor efforts against lowly sides. But arguably that is an onfield leadership problem as much as a coaching problem. Therein lies another question for you – do you think CFC have one of the better leadership groups going around? Isn’t it well publicized the list is full of introverts? Mick is not a psychologist you know!
Maybe the other thing he is guilty of is over rating the list. But then it was he who coached Coll 2 years back when I think it was in R3 Carlton with a fit and firing Judd, Betts, Henderson, Scotland etc hammered his Coll to become premiership favourites overnight. Can’t blame him for thinking Carlton were pretty good at that point in time.
And therein lies the proof in the pudding that things can change quickly in 2 years.
But I am sure you’ll throw your blinkers on, stick your head in the sand and find ways to argue our performances are all Mick’s fault despite the fact he has a list in transition with a decaying midfield core, a list built by systematically terrible recruiting for years, a list inflicted by a record number of post season surgeries … oh and have I mentioned the fact in year one Mick was unable to shape the list because players were contracted and the cap was loaded meaning hardly any list changes were possible?
Amazing.
Mick has done all these wonderful things and yet we're heading toward the bottom 4 after winning a final last year.
That's the proof in the pudding. Not the mostly unfounded speculation you've written there.
There's only 1 reality. 13th on the ladder and heading south. You can dress it up in frills and bows but that's what Mick will be judged on. Results.
That's why he's getting nervous and starting to deflect and make excuses.
Yes mick is blaming everyone at the club except for himself, Wiley, Green, Daisy, Everritt, Docherty and Wood. The untouchables.
Yes Cameron Wood ladies and gentlemen, another lost pie son that we must recruit. A player in the mould of Luke o'sullivan - 64 games in a decade of football.
Even in tonight's game, the great Mick has been talking about how supreme the swans list is. The best in the universe. So good that Laidler is a regular starter each week.
Preparing everyone. If we lose, then there was nothing mick could do. Doesn't gave the cattle against the supreme swans. If we happen to win then the genius of Malthouse outwitted the lazy and arrogant Longmuire.
Great politician is our head coach. Players must be impressed with him
