I was going to add pictures of Treloar, Adams, Elliott, Howe, Maynard, Crisp, WHE, Langdon, Dunn, Phillips and Cox but it seemed excessive.I do believe he used the words “hardly any” as opposed to “no players” or did I miss something there?

Would it though? I imagine he’d just respond with images of Ramsay, Kennedy, Clarke, Young, Russell, Karnezis, Richmond, Gault, Paine and Marsh.
I take it by the thread of your POV that you’ve been happy with our development of players? Whilst I disagree I can appreciate you have a different POV, but at the same time I’d ask if you’re happy with development why have the results not shown.
Has it all been talent ID or high performance?..
My POV is a balanced one. Many players haven't developed well but that doesn't mean that I am going to completely discount the ones who have. I'm not a club sycophant or a hater and don't believe that anyone should be labelled as such. And it's pretty obvious that our current lack of success can be attributed to more factors than just player development.Would it though?

Just out of interest, who on here actually works in the motivational sphere?

How much of a role do you think motivation plays in the development process?
I may have missed a few things here but where is the article did it mention Bucks had a talk to Sier at 18 months and that was the trigger to turn his attitude.
The only reference I could see was
"Buckley disclosed that the 20-year-old's cause hadn't been helped by a less than professional attitude in his first season-and-a-half at the Holden Centre.
"By his own admission, (he) probably didn't have football high enough in his priorities in the first 18 months (of his time at the club).
"The last half of last year Brayden really knuckled down and saved his career at Collingwood in many ways, and showed at the club that he was serious about being an AFL footballer. So he earned another year on his contract."
All I could really read into it was a 17 yo who came from a non elite pathway, didnt do the TAC pathway and was slow to realise the committment need to play AFL. I am sure the development people were working with him from day 1 and not neglecting this.
I think thats the likely senario but at the end of the day we are light on details and its more dangerous to make too rapid conclusions when we dont know what went on.

I’m not as keen on your list overall.Would it though? I imagine he’d just respond with images of Ramsay, Kennedy, Clarke, Young, Russell, Karnezis, Richmond, Gault, Paine and Marsh.

Wouldn't go too early on Broomy. Missed the 1st game of the year in 2017 but still managed 13-14 games at career best stats. Had an interrupted preseason and form consequently ebbed and flowed a bit but it's just about the 1st year I can recall where he didn't miss blocks of games through injury. I think his 2017 season was a good launching pad for 2018.

Yep definitely and I touched on that in the OP. The discussion I’m attempting to generate though is more around what can/ has been done to prevent the need for a “light bulb moment” and what’s the next step in that process to ensure follow through.
Let’s say that’s exactly what was needed in this, and other instances, and ask why it took 18 months of training within that professional environment and not 6-12? What if this isn’t the moment where it turns around what are we doing if the initial burst of regeneration from that chat with Bucks doesn’t see a permanent shift? Is another chat required? If so, when?
