Re: I Have A Conspiracy Theory
Elliot and Dundas arrive when Northey was coach...
We won 8-11 using Wallaces game plan.... and now you want to change that... real smart.
yeah there are no guarantees 1980. But what you havent worked out is that 4 years on and the list cant play the style of footy that TW wants to play. i.e his style requires excellent foot skills and footy smarts, to be produced consistently.
His style is to move the ball down the ground without giving the opposition a chance to touch it. i.e. 80% target hitting which means 100% running into space, which means leaving gaping holes to make the space, which crucifies us when you dont have enough players with the foot skills and smarts.
He has about 4 players who are capable of producing that kind of requirement consistently. He knows that the only way he can get close to what his style demands is to buy it in, because basically, his requirements werent met by Miller and his drafting.
We have a decent list to work with. We can build a real contender with it. I can bet my bottom dollar that a new coach with a new style of play, that doesnt rely on precise foot skills, i.e what the bulldogs have now, will make a positive difference. As for your ridiculous example with Walls, come on man, Manfield, Rombotis, Elliot, Dundas??? get real now, playign style wasnt the problem there dude....shit for brains in who he wanted was.
