Well finally after dismal last quarter to capitulate to the Bulldogs we finally have to face the fact been avoiding and that we will not be in finals .
Why have we plunged down almost 10 spots on league ladder .
Most have been discussed but I would like to look at our coaching team with own views which must admit from outside looking in on our season.
Sando
Whilst not unhappy what he has added to team I personally would not be throwing around contracts yet .
Positive personality has team working hard for him but selections have been horrible especially slowness in selecting players that have proven ready.
Forward structure and getting caught on outside run regularly stand out as also weaknesses in team . Of course pre season debacle stands out as well .
Believe a full season of Bailey will help and changes in assistants is required.
Fitness Coach .
Why did we let successful one go and miss out on Burgess is another club stuff up and got it so wrong with choice and even focus on tackling skills a disaster and gone backwards.
Please please replace at any cost .
Ruck Coach -- Clarke
This is another disaster area and needs immediate change .
Forward Coach
We have nobody in our coaching group anywhere near a forward coach and Bickley definitely not one and even Sando was a defence coach with Cats.
Another must change.
Midfield Coach
Word has it Campo has a contract that may save him but this area needs some fresh thinking .
Defence Coach
Milburn seem to have done ok job and on contract and can only get better with time , but prefer to see someone else in Sandos ear match day with different ideas .
Dean Bailey
Good to have for full season next year and hope Sando gets feedback etc from him to keep a step ahead or better positive reaction to opposition tactics etc .
Obviously other moves like replacing Trigg and Harper would be of advantage to club overall.
