"NORTH Melbourne players who can't win a contest will be dropped no matter how silky their skills are, Roos coach Brad Scott has warned.
...
"We'll be analysing it really closely and working out why we couldn't win the ball in a contest and we'll be holding the players really, really accountable on that," Scott said.
"Because the bottom line for us now is if you can't win the ball and you can't defend well enough to get it back, I don't care what you can do with the ball in your hands, you won't play for us, it's as simple as that.
"I'll have a really close look at it and hold myself accountable first, but then hold individuals within the team accountable and then we'll make our decisions based on that," Scott said.
That was from 22 March. It is good to see that, 4 months on, nothing has changed I.e. There is still no evidence of Brad's words being matched by his actions.
Interestingly though, his doppelgänger has some thoughts on accountability. Straight swap?
