We seem to forget 2019 wasn't long ago and we were a total rabble.
We also seem to forget 2020 the players were in hub life and missed out on the facilities at Princes Park under a new coach.
We also seem to forget we played all top four teams within six weeks with a horrid injury list and midfield that lacks elite talent - past two games was a drop in morale more than anything and the boys need a break but need to lift second half of year. Doesn't discount the fact the midfield is full of turn over merchants where half cant tackle kicking the ball bllindly rather than finishing plays. We can't compete against top eight midfield luckily our forward line and backline is as close to elite as you can get.
Actually, it's eerily like 2019. Up until a couple of weeks before Bolt's got sacked, we were in pretty much every game. We lost to GC by point, hawks by 5 points. A lack of self belief cost us wins against Port and Swans. In fact, it the ladder was based on quarters won, we would have been in the 8. Then the bottom fell out. We put in 2 or 3 horrible games and Bolt's was gone.
Only differences were we were a young and developing team. Now all those young guys who were developing have regressed under Teague. Granted the bottom has fallen out yet, but I get the feeling that is only a matter of time.
Up until yesterday, I was on the fence and thought if we could get Teague better help, he may be ok. Now, I am more convinced than ever. He has to go.
