One of his biggest failings is that he seems to struggle to get us "up" for games, and even worse when we are favourites.

The first 9 rounds will decide our season. It's chock full of winnable games, yet also chock full of the exact kinds of games we love to lose. Essendon, GC, Freo, Port away, and Geelong, GWS, Carlton at home. The only 2 games I have us as better than 50% for in that first stretch is St Kilda and NM at home.

None of those games are instant write-offs. Yet none (other than StK and NM) instill confidence. We could just easily be 2-7 as 9-0. If we go 5-4 or better then we're decently placed to navigate the tricky mid part of our season.
