Never had any impact to lose. They did the refresh last year, couldn’t get the job done, normal services resumed this year.
Our win against the Weagles was the proverbial, “Dead cat bounce”.

All of the current long term coaches have got silverware. Those that don’t are under pressure ie Lyon, Hinkley. How does Bucks fly under the radar?

Time for changes.
OUT: Mayne - Appleby - Crocker - Sier
IN: Greenwood - Scharenberg** - Elliott - Wills
Wills to play 60% midfield time, 20% forward, 20% bench.
** May not actually be a match up for Shaz, so i'd bring in Daicos or Tyler Brown.

Firstly my question was what evidence is there that he’s lost his impact.
Do you have any?
To answer your question - any sound assessment would clearly find that a Coach making the GF and voted Coach of the Year would not be under pressure in the following year. Especially if his team had been in the Top 4 for most of the year.
Only an unsound assessment would pose your question.
We cant even do that for the last years and next draft as the club mortgaged its future for 29 yo with hip and mental health issues.
2021 draft is taken by young Daicos, by all reports is a freak so that is a year we are best off avoiding a low end finish as well, to make the most of F/S.
Realistically not until 2022 we will have true live draft.
Definitely not under pressure in 2019 after 2018 GF and then sitting top 2 for 15 odd rounds.
But pressure will come in 2020 imo if the club goes out in straight sets or fails to make finals from sitting 2nd most the year, and then continues this slow chip kick style into 2020.

We need to bust our nuts to scrape in for 4th. Play Geelong at the G with Stephenson back and roll the dice, take our chances. If we’re good enough, we’re good enough.

Against any other team, the fact that players of the quality of Kelly, Coniglio, Ward and DeBoer were missing from the oppositions starting midfield might actually be a factor but still having Toranto (P2 2016 ND), Hopper, (P7 2015 ND) and being able to so effectively slot Greene and Williams into the rotations meant their starting midfield was still as good as the first choice group of many teams. They've still got other 1st round or very high pick mids who can't get a game like Caldwell (P11 2018 ND), Hately (P14 2018 ND), O'Halloran (P22 2018 ND), Bonar (P11 2017 ND), and others like Shipley (GWS Academy P64 2017 ND).

They had lost 3 in a row before they gave us an absolute fisting....
See, now this is analysis. It's not one eyed its exactly what we were up against. People saying how badly the Giants were hampered by injury....this was their best balanced side for 6 weeks. Why didn't they play Finlayson against the Tigers? Why didn't Mummy get to smash the Tiggies? And why didn't we pick someone (anyone) taller than Apples to play down back?
Can’t help thinking losing those close ones to Freo & Hawks !

8 seasons - as we sit in 4th on the ladder now, it’s 7 seasons of falling lower down the ladder than the previous year...
The Rat Pack type culture Bucks hated so much as a player is now well and truly back (stevo and JDG).
So what is it that Bucks has actually achieved? I thought the plan was to rid the club of human beings with personalities and produce athletic robots that performed week in week out no matter what?
By any measure, Bucks has failed to deliver a more “professional” culture for the playing group and provide consistent performance year upon year.

And we'd lost 2 in a row before beating the Weagles... your point?

No it's not, you have to look deeper than that. Carlton,bulldogs,Saints etc. we have struggled to beat just about everyone.

We won close ones against Bulldogs,Essendon,Sydney, West Coast, Carlton. It goes both ways.

Yep, and inevitably we will keep slipping down if we don't start playing better

No, the W's and ladder position were the "big picture" 2012-2017, looking deeper wasn't necessary. Now it's reversed. Keep up.

I think it's important here to test the theory in the lab before you roll it out an apply it.
THe question is "Does a dead cat bounce?" How far? From what height does the cat need to be dropped? What is the coefficient of bounce? There are a number of questions that are begging for research. We shouldnt be hasty with this....

Hey Trav - you were the leader of the “its the W column that matters” and bagged Bucks for years.
Now that W column has been healthy you’re still not happy.
Seriously mate - get a grip
And really the Rat Pack is back - I don’t see a Swan BJ Daisy Didak Heater Tarrant mischievous gang anywhere.
You are really clutching at straws - by comparison to the above group your own examples above clearly prove that culture is far better.
Sorry to use your own words against you.
I look forward to the next ill conceived offensive against Bucks.
