His major weakness is his shithouse tactical nouse. Strategically he is very good. That is why the side got two prelims and at one stage won 20 or so games out of 25. Then again there were times he backed his game plan and the results were good. But he seems very slow to adapt, too much rigidity/not enough flexibility in his approach. Thats a good thing when you are winning and going deep into finals, not good when things aren't working.
The other major weakness is the way the skills seem to be going backward over the last 3 seasons. In the first game of this year and the last one of 2015 skills have cost against the wc, in 2015 they may have cost us a flag. Definitely cost us a GF spot.
Obviously just missing a GF because of shithouse skills means you are doing other things right. But not improving that over the next two seasons is a backwards step by any measure. So that's got to improve this season. Do we even have a skills coach? We didn't last year according to the website.

Skills, ****, where do you start. Handballing to feet, handballing to where blokes were, not where they are going, yada yada yada.
