Your 1st paragraph does not wash.To me there seems to be no urgency and this worries me. For example why install Young as interim coach in the first place. Why not make the decision on our new coach and then have him take over right away. At least he would have gotten a head start on the makeup of our roster for 2021.
If the whole plan is to not spend the cap on new recruits and instead front end some contracts to make things easier in 2022 well, that is a plan and I can understand that. But this would mean that Griffin and his staff would have to work miricules with those out of form players and the new ones coming through. That is:
1. If he got Dufty to become a reliable defender, and
2. If he got Hunt and Norman to run direct and work some majic passes to players who know that its on, and
3. He can get Kerr, Lawrie, Ellis and Blacker to run hard and offload when the time is right, defend vigorously smothering the ball and smashing the opposition in defence, and
4. If he can get Sims and Vaughan to return to their best form, and
5. If he can get Lomax and Ramsey, Feagai and Ravalawa combining in defence and attack in such a way that the opposition is dominated.
Maybe we will be able to smile.
Do you remember club bubbles and a maximum of 50 people allowed, someone within that bubble had to do it.
And the club still had to advertise, interview and hire.
Perhaps if they had of sacked Mary when they should’ve after Round 4 things might have been different.
Griffin was working behind the scenes from afar whilst still completing his commitment to his prior employer so you were wrong there
In regards to your 5 points of performance targets you should’ve just basically said improve the performance of the top 17.
that is what he’s aiming to do but the role he has taken on.. let’s face it was a huge task for anybody.
And look at your mate Millwood he’s gone from the worlds longest job title to manager recruiting, reporting to the new coach
you should be happy with that because if he doesn’t perform in that role his next one will be as someone stated earlier “gardening leave”
