Assistants imo. We haven’t turned them over in years and the development in the VFL is haphazard at best.It’s gotta be the coach doesn’t it?
Parsons. Play nearly all his senior footy as a small forward/flanker. Plays VFL as an inside mid. Ditto Sam Simpson who if he got a game would be as a wing/flanker. Ditto Fogarty, who is a midfielder they shove to a pocket. The same thing they do to Parfitt, who only teases with flashes of what he can do.
Buzza, Abbott, Smith and Fort let’s face it won’t make it, and some have probably got their papers stamped... play as key forwards in the VFL, while Krueger who could make it, and had a bag of 6 this season... languishes in defence.
Can’t develop/draft rucks, or small forwards. We have a development and VFL program issue, which is lamentable given we’re standalone and don’t have to cater to a VFL clubs whims. We can do as we wish.
This isn’t a Scott problem, he gets a team without a great ruck and that can’t stand up under intense pressure as far as he can. He needs more players who use the ball well under pressure, a ruck, a key forward and some outside speed.
Rahilly, O’Bree, Lappin, Knights have all been here too long and haven’t shown they excel at anything.
