Robbo asked Bucks would the Pies be interested in Hurley. Bucks replied all 17 clubs would be interested in a 27 year old AA CHB/FB. Huddo then stated that the back page of the paper will say Collingwood makes a bid for Hurley. Scott laughed and said that's what he heard. Bucks smirked
I hate that smirk. It's not like he has achieved anything worth smirking about since taking over as coach. It's been a disaster.
It's a pity we can't get a smirk from Bucks for actually achieving something worthwhile, like coaching a team to perform at their best. Instead, we get Bucks smirking about chasing a star, that he secretly plans to convert into a mediocre player, just like he's converted our entire squad into a mediocre team.
Sure, we've had injuries, but that doesn't make us kick straight to the opposition like we do so often. It doesn't stop individual players developing & improving. We've heard all the excuses, what we haven't heard, is what's being done to change things. The players are always coping the blame, not the coach, and not the game plan.
It seems our "game plan" is to tackle the opponents often enough, that their skill level will drop down match to ours, then we'll snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. From now until the start of 2017 needs to be entirely about improving our skills and developing a modern game plan.
Save the smirks for when our win loss record moves above 50/50.
