For 11 consecutive seasons we’ve had management tell us we have a great young team
And they see no issue with it
It's pretty standard AFL coach/management talk. Probably 15 of the 18 clubs at any given time say they've got a great young team - which is just code for 'we're not good now, but just wait a bit and we'll be good soon!'. In most cases it's accountability avoiding, career extending spin.
