I think he's done a great job as well, but there are some characteristics that I don't believe are helping NMFC, which may have also been holding other teams back, like the Don's.
Inclusion of favorite players e.g. Bolten and Heff's for Essendon, like wtf? They were shit, but Sheeds persisted for no good reason. Same with Laids with Brown, Sansbury, Watt et al. You look at other teams, MOST of their players have justified their spot in the team and are not included just cuz they were obtained for pick 46 in the previous years draft. Imagine if Laidley coached St.Kilda, Shane Birss would still be getting a game combining with Ferg Watts.
Having only 92.5% of the sal cap the play with is remarkable seeing as we were a top4 side last year, but I am intrigued to see how our list would look and operate from a fresh pair of eyes
All I'm saying is, not all change should be regarded with hostility.
Example:
Harding moves into the backline - met with anger from a few - turned out OK.
Cool.
Shane Birss did play against the Tigers did he not? I also saw Stephen Milne play aswell and both Clarkes, niether is any good. If your going to use one team to backup your argument then dont use St Kilda.
Change should be regarded with hostility if it is unneccessary, which it is at the moment.
