It's not like Reid had terrible performances. He lost 1 superbowl before (grand final) and numerous championship games (prelims)

This new generation of australians are as soft as fu** and they can't handle criticism that isn't delivered with a kiss and cuddle. They all grow up thinking they are s**t hot and can't handle for a second being told they aren't.
You don't have to categorize people though
You can analyze it all you want or you can realize it's but one simple thing. This new generation of australians are as soft as fu** and they can't handle criticism that isn't delivered with a kiss and cuddle. They all grow up thinking they are s**t hot and can't handle for a second being told they aren't. The older blokes still try to talk to them like every other generation before but it doesn't translate.
Seriously all this crap about how Richmond players care about each other on a deeper level makes me sick. Kick the ******* ball to a teammate and then he kicks a goal, you don't need to know that his GF doesn't talk to him in bed every night to do that.
All a coach in the AFL does is constantly rub the egos of the current day player, older generation doesn't fu** with that.
Higher IQ per square centimeter.
Good question, the good ones were often very controversial as players and aggressive.
Brad Scott coached for a decade and I can tell you his 50% win/loss means he's not terrible but I couldn't tell you what he does well or stands for.
Coz you have to me smarter to be short in a big mans game. Back pockets tend to do better on average as coaches than forward pockets. One has to use everything he can to stay in the game, while the other just does what his talent tells him to do. Much easier to communicate how you had study an opponent to beat them than say ‘well I could kick 6 goals out of my arse because I was just really good at doing that.Okay, you have explained why all coaches are men. But it was a 2-part question - you still need to explain why they are also normally short.
I disagree. The outraged boomers are never far behind whenever something half progressive is introduced.

Anyway, things are changing. The coach is the ceo of the football factory now, and less the one man band. More likely to be making sure the football dept was doing it’s job rather than micromanaging the players.
As for the millennials are soft and ok boomer rubbish - each generation is a trial to their elders, and the past is a foreign country - they do things differently there. No generation is better or worse than others. Just a product of their time and place.
the attitude reeks of an immature industry.
Communication is very important to the current generation and how it is communicated is also very important.
30 years ago a player not happy with how a coach treated or talked to him would be either delisted or told to get with the program and do what his coach tells him.
Now a coach can be removed over simply one player not liking him and the old days of the club and board backing in their coaches are long gone, we live in a world where perception by the public is everything and clubs will stop at nothing to make sure they look good in the publics eyes even though deep down they probably don't agree with the levels they have to go to make the public feel warm and fuzzy.
Just a different world now, I grew up in the previous world and wouldn't swap it for anything but these guys grow up in this system and would stay the same.
Why it has gone so far in favour of the player only god knows but it is what it is.
This post doesn't make any sense.You're right...
We should go back to the Good Old days where cigarettes were smoked by players at half time, pubs closed at 6pm, every footy game was played at 2:10pm on a Saturday afternoon, Indigenous people couldn't vote and Hawthorn only had one premiership.
This post doesn't make any sense.
I'm in my 20s.... that sounds like every post you’ve made in this thread.
The world is changing boomer, learn to accept it.
I get your point, but you really think that’s exclusive to the younger generation? Why do you think middle-aged to elderly Karen became a meme?You can analyze it all you want or you can realize it's but one simple thing.

They’re also paid a good deal more and don’t have another profession most of the time"young people are soft" is the most boring opinion you can have. I can guarantee all the players today train longer and harder than their counterparts of the 80s and 90s.

Richmond would be one of the best examples of teamwork, team culture and system over talent. And it has brought about our most successful period since the 70s. This came from 2017 where its well documented that "connection" has been an enormous part of what the club has been about.Seriously all this crap about how Richmond players care about each other on a deeper level makes me sick.

I bet you were just froffing at the mouth when you realised you could make this all about RichmondRichmond would be one of the best examples of teamwork, team culture and system over talent.

I hope other clubs have the same dinosaur thinking you do. Successful teams where you are required to be selfless and put your body on the line, train to exhaustion so the whole can succeed. Yeh I cant see at all how connection and love of your mates could help with that cause....
Despite you being the first person in the thread to bring them up, Im directly referencing your old school approach which is no longer best practice. That extends to coaching and management too.I bet you were just froffing at the mouth when you realised you could make this all about Richmond

Yeh okay that's fine, you can dismiss with emojis instead of trying to have a debate with opinions, but I think most people here have explained how your views are outdated. Leadership, management and teaching (that's effectively coaching in a nutshell) have moved on from the way it sounds like you would like to have it. It's no longer an angry bloke yelling at kids to "harden the * up and just kick the ball". There are better practices and ways to do things now that build better relationships within teams and between individuals.
