Those with a short attention span would forget about Andrew Lovett, Brett Peake, Jesse Smith, Adam Pattison, Polo and other wonderful, recycled players that Ross Lyon was happy to be judged on.

The truth being that the club made a mistake 2 years ago, and it needs to be rectified before further damage is done.
It is no shame making a mistake when you are having a go.
The shame is acknowledging it is a mistake and doing nothing about it.
You guys don't even know the half of it.
Keep up the good work Jaxons....got my vote
Take your bs elsewhere jaxons

As for the truth...it's all a matter of perception mate...

You may think that SW needs to be a clone of Ross Lyon

My perception was that RL was the biggest mistake to hit our footy club in the last 20 years...the truth is that losing a GF and losing 2 in a row might be a lot worse than actully getting there

My perception is that SW is doing a damned fine job and playing his part in the rebuild

Words don't this post justice. Just one. Idiotic.

My perception is Lyon wasnt as great as some people remember . He made some terrible decisions. He had a terrific bunch of senior players at their peak to work with.

SW is also not as bad as some people make out.
He too has made some bad decisions but he has had a terribly unbalanced playing list to work with and senior players on the wrong side of the mountain and a bit embittered. No easy task.

All in all it is a team effort and we should judge the club as a whole.

Our brains are designed to look for shortcuts which makes us all focus excessively on the senior coach in our quest for simple answers and simple solutions.

Finances aren't great. 3 senior players are trade bait. 2 assistant coaches will go. Scott will be there till the end of 2016. We've been through worse. <snip>
Re the 2 assistants out the door: I'm only aware of Jaymie Graham having left so that suggests that someone else probably won't be around next year too.....


It's a shame ignorance isn't painful

So what are you suggesting?

We don't look to the future but bust our guts to make a squad a long way off a premiership slightly less rubbish.

All that does is lead us to a worse position in a couple of years when we still arent winning games and not looking like doing so for some time.


Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

I think SW and Pelchen will work it out.

I think Carro's position will become untenable if she continues to write bulls*** trumped up stories. She has form and her cards are marked "gossip reporter".


When in doubt ask yourself...what would Robert Harvey do?

Agree. This is the right model but apparently the boundaries weren't clear (or discussed perhaps).


Leadership/Management problem at the club to get this wrong. Hopefully some of he culprits are now gone so we can move forward. Alignment in the club is essential to breed success.


Individual egos need depositing outside of the club and working relationships need to be restored to meet the need of the club strategy.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

I just wonder what sort of a say Pelchen had in Scotts appointment and perhaps more signifantly will he have a role to play in choosing his successor? (if he hasnt alredy ie )

He was on the Selection panel to appoint him.

Perhaps he should take responsibility and fall on his sword. Who is he answerable to?

If rumour is true about him and Watters not getting on then what's going to happen if he and the next one don't get on?

Go through the same process again? After all dictators are head to get out of an organisation once they are in.

Power hungry is Pelchen - make no mistake about it.
