Since the bye we have lost to Hawks by 3 pts, Freo 9 pts, Adelaide 3, WCE 2 pts after being in front or level from 1st siren to the last but lost it after the final siren, Giants by 22 pts after being 9pts down early in the 4th quarter.
So KT isn't slashing his wrists like us, but has probably has banged his head against the wall a few times.
The board and management have given the coaches, fitness and medical staff and bloody players plenty of resources to succeed. They are close but not close enough. A bit of bad luck with injury hasn't helped in the Freo and WCE games and some key players missing but everyone gets them. Its how you handle them that's the key. There is an element of #marginalgains about it all.
A few idiot players have to learn to make good decisions when its tight. Hinkley has to learn to stop trusting the perennial failures under pressure who * things up.
There will be a shake up at season end. Some experienced players will feel the blow torch. Some of our coaches should and I hope they will. Our recruiting and list management guys should feel it too. Management and the board should actually assess some of the dopey selection and tactics of certain games and ask why the * did you do X? - but they wont.
The theme for 2019 should be - Triple Redundancy. We need to make list management decisions that allow for triple redundancy of our "football systems." We know we have failures so we now have to make sure they dont happen again or with the same issues time and again.
So when we get injuries to important players, we have a plan, we have a back up plan we have a back up plan for the back up plan if more happen.
When we get in tight spots and the game is going to be decided in the last 2 or 3 minutes, we have a plan, we have a back up plan we have a back up plan for the back up plan to make sure we don't * up and lose.
