A lot of conjecture here. No idea what is true and what isn’t about the presentations and the feeling of the prospective coaches about our list.
However I am nowhere near as pessimistic about our list than some on here. To me there is a lot of latent talent and a new coach may well be able to realise that talent.
If you look at players who had poor seasons there are a couple of seriously talented players in that category in Cumberland and Sonsie. We have Gibcus coming back and we have one of the best power forwards in the game hopefully returning.
I also rate Banks and Brown in particular as excellent potential for the future, Bauer looks promising and I believe Ryan will be a very good player for us, but as a ruck not a forward.
We need a reset not just around our personnel but also our game plan. I’d be looking for a couple of decent players with speed from other clubs to strengthen our midfield mix, moneyball types.
I’m not in the bottom out camp
I also believe that the club is doing exactly the right thing getting a senior assistant ready to step up rather than a big name. If we get an assistant stepping up the selection will always be underwhelming to some because we don’t know much about assistant coaches.
Yze has had a similar apprenticeship to Kingsley, both missed out a few times.
