Melbourne has a good list of young players but you can't just click your fingers and turn it all around. Melbourne are coming from so far back it's not funny. Inconsistent performances are part and parcel. All it shows to me is no matter how good a coach you are it takes time to turn your fortunes around.

He was, but his big mistake is using his outdated game plan at Rabblebourne. Beveridge and Hinkley have the nous to quickly improve a bad team, with even Richo to some extent so far.

But when he took over at Sydney, they'd played finals in 5 of the previous 6 seasons, where Melbourne is mentally damaged. He's struggled to instil a consistent on-field culture in only two years. Perhaps they'd have even been better off with a new coach, but were probably gun shy after Neeld. Still think they have a reasonable base for the future, interesting to see what Simon Goodstuff can do.
