We have given the coach a licence to reset and begin a rebuild of sorts towards the next premiership.
The coach and coaching committee is best placed to know what is required of this rebuild, especially as Scott has been through this process before and (presumably) learnt from the mistakes he made last time.
You calling for all the old/useless players to be dropped for a "true" rebuild is based on a flawed hypothesis that young players development only requires game time. This is flat out false, and has been shown time and time again by perennial underachievers like Melbourne and Carlton who are STILL SHIT, 15 years later.
Other teams like Sydney and Geelong have shown how bringing in kids into an older team that already has all the gameplans, structures etc set up fast tracks the development of their youth.
There is no point in bringing in ALL the kids at once and then having other teams cut us up like we were playing witches hats all game. They will not learn by us being on the end of 100 point smashings.
What is happening at the moment, while really frustrating for the supporters, is actually the best case scenario. We are being competitive whilst still notching up the losses we need to get some talent in the draft this year.
Scott is not to be judged on a weekly win loss. He should be judged at the end of the year based on how the youth are progressing.
Save your bile till then. I'm sure you can think of another topic to post about if you try really hard.
Edit: Pretty sure we won an intraclub in Feb, must be embarrassing to be that wrong
