Yep.St kilda has a poor list and has something like 15 players out injured. We have Mckenzie injured at the moment.
I've been critical of our list in recent times, but watching StKilda and Collingwood recently has changed my opinion. Even thinking back to how weak our 2014 list was that got exposed in 2015. We're living in this myth the club has propagated that our list is not good enough and has holes we must fill to have a perfect 22 and then suddenly we'll be fine.
Collingwood, the Saints, our 2014 squad show us that it just isn't the case. Our squad is good enough. We have a good enough side if they're all on the same page, under a solid gameplan and in it together.
We just aren't. Our coaching is the issue. It's a stale message, other clubs have shown that intangible refreshing quality that a new coach has, yet here we sit wasting an entire year because we were too afraid to take a soft cap hit on Hinkley.
He will be sacked, but once again this is all the boards doing. Their stability strategy, the long term extensions, the piss weak, anti-ruthless approach they are taking which filters down to our players and breeds this culture of malaise and believing we are better than we are. We're busy drinking our own bathwater while the Crows have become far more ruthless in recent times and are doing what they can to be better, while we just plod along, happy to not bottom out.
