well perhaps the players are refusing to act to the strategy or getting confused, or there is an element of resistance to the lyon plan.
we have been told time and time again that sydney dont have the stars or depth of talent we have.
perhaps if there are those doing their own thing, we should trade them away for lesser players willing to play disciplined football?
the last thing you want is superstars playing their own game? the old adage there is no I in team.
looking down our list, i would say it is far superior in quality to sydney's list, across the breadth of players, and yet sydney have played in 2 GFs.
an argument can be made that WCE has a superior list based on 4 outstanding midfielders, and a gun ruckman, but their forward line and back line are limited and have been exposed.
if a reiwoldt (not saying it is a reiwoldt, but using him as an example) is not following team rules and refused to play team rules trade him for a schneider or a bolton or a couple of draft picks who WILL follow team rules.
we have RL for 2008 and possibly longer, RB wont sack him, and looking down the sacked coaches, probably most of them will be playing for their careers not st kilda, and lethal wont come to melbourne, so we persist with RL and give him a chance.
with the exception of the idiots who want us to fail so they can blame GT for poor list management
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
we all want this team to succeed. I dont have to like RL or like the way we play as long as we win right?
and shouldn't we therefore demand that casey drill their players in our strategies and drills?
