I seem to recall when Ando was brought in as coach there was almost unanimous support that we needed a coach who'd be tough on the players and tell them to harden the f**k up
seems that approach hasn't gone down too well .... and now its a reason to give Ando the yo-heave-ho
I dunno - I'm not there - but it seems to me our players have had serious attitude issues over the years which have made us a jeckle and hyde team on the field .... who knows what the answer is? ... hagan too soft, we go off the rails - ando, too harsh, we go off the rails ...... maybe some of our soft little bunnies need to hard the f**k up a bit???
It's probably why Ando was getting rid of the players who wouldn't listen to him. If he had a team full of Hindy's, Caylo's, Mannah's, Mortz, Burtz i.e. old style players, DA would probably get the best out of the team and working as a unit.
If he gets a bunch of Mateo's, Inu's then he would fail miserably.
What he had in 2010, was a mixed bunch and so troubles with some but not all. It could divide the team as well.
However, as 2009 showed, if he gets them winning, then alot of that crap is buried.
If we aren't winning, it's how does he get those to listen to him and understand what he wants? I reckon Mateo listened to him because he stopped all passes for a long while. He wasn't happy so I figure that he was just doing it for the sake of it but he wasn't enjoying it.
This is where I felt that DA has failed. How do you get through to all the different personalities - GenY, GenX, etc when they don't respond to your old school style.
