Always much easier and convenient to blame the coaches than the players. I have never got the gist of blaming the strategist for players not following the strategies on the field
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

^ To which one might add the question, "Have the coaches over the last 9 off-seasons targeted the correct types of players and players?" It isn't like the players were foisted on the post-Malthouse coaching team (Pendlebury and Sidebottom apart, of course). The coaching staff do very much more than plan on-field strategies.
^Yes, fair enough.
In the Malthouse days the players were good enough to take the ball along the boundary from one end to another with great skill and without turning it over. I appreciate that the game has changed since then, but the current squad don't have that high skill level.

This this this, for example who said let’s get Dane Beams back and not put him on performance based? And who who who is responsible for not making a KPF an absolute priority up forward? What ever it damn takes, it goes bound kick hand pass hand pass hand pass, lose it save it hand pass hand pass hand pass, thump it, no one home, and back down for the defenders to save it again.
As for Blame, I blame everybody even god. Surely he’s not on my side when it comes to footy, how much can a girl bare!
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
