Sooner or later the development of those kids will require them to win some games, or play the sort of footy that will allow them to.
Look at the Hawks last year. Clarkson got them playing attacking, free-spirited footy and they are chockers with confidence now.
Our boys are pretty much driftwood, and don't seem to be getting much of an education on how to win footy games.
I don't see that as very good for their development at all.
We don't have a 22 that we can say "we can play good footy with this 22 over the next few years."
They did.
bullshit - i think we have some real talent in our side and even more to come into it. we are far from the horrible side you would like to believe we have.
indeed, i think we have a better side in the making that hawthorn.
the difference - the coach.
clarkson is prepared to give his kids a run and let them have a go
pagan is not
im not saying lets go out and get the next clarkson, but Pagan, is in self preservation mode and if you think he isnt you are deluded, with some of the statements he has made thus far any thrashing is unacceptable.
We are going nowhere fast under Pagan - dont worry about our list, man for man with the exception of a few i would back our players in time and time again.
With the exception of Luke Hodge, Peter Everitt and a few others who are quality footballer and maybe a few others i would generally have carlton players ahead of Hawthorn players and that is without any bias.
We are a few players away from having a really good squad, no doubt in that, but we are far from a horrible playing list.
nope, if with the general consensus and that is Pagan has had his shot, it hasnt worked, no worries denis, we all need to move, come on board Mitchell or possibly Mark Harvey if you could pry him from Freo, however i would prefer Mitchell due to him already having very good knowledge of our playing stock and give him the rest of the year to sort the players he wants and the players he needs to get to play the style of play he wants the lads to play and a style of play that they can play.
