Great. Now why did we win 8/9 last year?
Simply because the predictable one out power game that McGregor advocates was successful.
We had the forwards to execute that game plan UNTIL injuries set in and opposition coaches devised simple tactics to neutralise the bush footy tactics McGregor put in place.
That is all he knows and once he was exposed, could not adjust his game plan to continue winning.
In fact, I believe
he doesn't know how to. He is unqualified to coach FG.
Once we cease dominating possession and field position we have no other dimension as a footy team.
That deficiency rests 100% on the coach's shoulders.
BTW, so what if we won 8/9 - where are we when the whips are cracking??
Second half of the season fades are McGregor's trademark - not one year not two years....every year.
This year we just fold in the second half of games which, from the players' and fans' point of view, is just demoralizing.
So hope that brings some perspective to the argument.
