After three failed finals not one player has been dropped so what does that say about the coach?
ps the coach doesn't have to sack a player, just a stint in the two's is enough to send a message. During the year when players underperformed they were not dropped unless is was Lloyd or Lennon ect.
Derrrrrr! Bit hard to drop a player after the elimination final has been lost and there's not another game until the next year.
It's a collective team game of twenty two players, even the best and most experienced player has the odd quiet game during the season, just as the fringe or struggling player can step up n play the odd blinder. This is rarely a reason for dropping quality players to the magoos as the good players will usually rebound immediately.
The core senior players who played well enough all year to enable us to play finals are the same ones who crapped out n played poor footy during our finals, how is that the coaches fault? How does he rectify the problem? Drop Cotch, Edwards, Lids, Eevan, Dusty, Tyrone, Grigg, Batch, Lambert, n a few others on the thurs night n promote Elton, Menadue, Short, McBean, Lennon, Lloyd, Gordon etc to replace them in the final??
I'm sure that would send a message somewhere.
