Re: Sumich will replace CC if he fails

Are you sure you are not related to CC, a distant cousin perhaps, are you sure you don't owe him a favour? Are you in any way, shape or form, on the FFC board, a re you a trainer at the club, are you assistant coach, are you a relative of anyone at the club? Mate, you would the only person that steadfastly supports him to the hilt, no questions asked? Are you saying CC can't do no wrong, are you saying that CC should be coach of the decade?
None of the above and of course CC has and will continue to make mistakes.
Show me someone who has not made a mistake and I will show you someone who has not made a decision.

3 years ago, Freo had the better list, no question about it. Yes WCE had some champion players, but overall a very average list.
Rubbish, There are only 16 players left from the team that CC took over.
Of those

Seigert (0 games) Rookie listed
Hayden (0 games) Rookie listed
Haines (0 games) Rookie listed
Woods (8 Games ) Pick 61
Haddrill (8 games) Promoted Rookie

CC coaching of the youngsters is non-existant. He has still not realised that to develop youngsters, you need to leave them on for the entirety of a game, to teach them how to play, regardless of whether they are getting beaten.
Medhurst
Hayden
Haddrill
Dodd
Webster
Schammer
Sandilands
To name a few. That argument doesn't hold water either. You are jus regurgitating urban myths.

The fact that CC doesn't look to the long term with his youngsters is symptomatic of him being scared for his job. Is that the coach you want at your club?
2003 draft squashs that argument, Dunn, Murphy, Mundy, Campbell , Peake & Johnson were a huge investment in youth when short term it would have been better to keep Koops & Croad.

Polak - I have said it many times before. He is a shadow of the player he was in his debut year. Who's fault is that? The irony is that CC might trade him at years end, and I hope to God its WCE that grab him, cause he, like many other Freo players, will become a Top Line, Champion player at CHB given proper instructions / nurturing etc.. And then in 35 years time Freo fans will be crowing on about how "we let him go".
Until last year you would have thought that Hunter & Glass were duds as well despite them having an extra 2 seasons on young Polly. Polly hasn't been a dud but he has a long
way to go yet.
Looking at all of the above it has bought home to me that CC has actually overachieved and Woosh has under achieved with what they inherited.
