Is he embracing that? I'm not sure. He is certainly doing it to an extent, but they way he sounds it out he is being forced. I just don't think he has the right mindset for the rebuild. The media he gave shows him with one foot in and one foot out, his ongoing post games are about its youth that are exposing us yet our out actual 22 playing lists we are still in the top half of the field for age - IMO he still prefers to select experience over youth even when those players are clearly not showing enough.
His comment about his desire to play experience over youth because experienced players are easier to train... I mean that just makes me sit in wonder... If you shy away from youth because its hard then is it any wonder why half of us baffled by the non selection of the likes of mason in 2015 and the start of 2016, or EVW late last year, or the continued selection of Petrie and McKenzie. Not only was he choosing experience over youth, he was choosing it over form (or even some about to be delisted!)
Comments, opinions and assumptions aside, the facts are that all the players that are left are his players now, pretty much only ever trained under brad, so its ALL him now, and looking at the age numbers the playing 22 are about par for other lists vying for the top 8. Brads youth development of every one of our players under 28 is on show right now.
Back to opinions, I think that probably goes a long way as to why he would come out publicly looking for work.
