We are in good hands. Love he gave a little dig at lil swines like Kane Cornes stating that it would be awful coming to North right now due to our losses.
Nobles made it clear, that it is a great environment and culture at the club atm even with our position on the ladder. Plus 4 recent signings from our youth says otherwise. Players jump ship if you don’t believe in the “system” or the direction of the club.
If we can develop this awesome environment and breed this strong culture even when we’re losing just wait until we start succeeding. The consistency of having confidence in the plan is super important.
Just look at Carlton and Saints. They look lost at sea while we can see improvements across the board.
They’re slow and small but we can see them happening while we are learning with a very young group.
I agree with the sentiment.
However, there is a difference from being totally uncompetitive to being still a 1.5 win type of shithouse to being competitive and to then be contending for a finals spot. Just having a crack will let you go from being a zero win shitshow to not being a rabble.
From there it is all a matter of consistency, it is why Brad struggled to get us higher than 8th/9th spot, it required a level of consistency he never enforced. For guys like Teague and Ratten, they inherited a lot of baggage they didn't create when it comes to footballers who are very selective about when they have a crack.
If we can't sort out or inconsistency issues, we will be in the same house of pain in a couple of years. At least for Nobes, he has the benefit that almost everyone Brad ****ed over will be gone by the time our crop matures, he at least has the mandate to determine his own fate and not be hamstrung by what others did to his players before him. We will probably have McDonald and not a whole lot more from Brad's era in a few years time.
