So true LZ.It's a buy in Sting.
If the entire club doesn't believe and trust each other , the club will be floating in no man's land.
Dimma started to listen to the players, trusting the players strengths. Stop forcing the issue with Griffens or Vickery.
And surrounding himself with people that spread a relaxed and happy environment.
Have a look how relaxed Rutten is on the bench, but it doesn't work without the group believing and trusting.
Skill can take you soo far, belief and trust is endless.
There is NO true buy in!
Rutten should start from scratch as HE does have some good kids , but needs to stop drafting players who want to come Essendon for $.
Stringer should never have forced the clubs hand to sign him on a longer contract. Start with him.
Fix the midfield issues. Stop this accumulation of possessions and simplify the game plan.
Build the team around the young group of talent and 2MP.
End of the day with Sheedy around the place with Hird let them live in their fantasy world and past glories.
