Tell me this - why have we gone worse this year with a supposedly better roster? Kearney coached last year as well, so how much can the change in results be due to the coach?
Why has the team gone considerably worse in the second season under three successive coaches?
Different team each of the 3 seasons.
But 3 different scenarios that are united in their end result.
1. Hagan (history has shown that 1st season is his best, lack of discipline leads to regression)
2. Anderson - did a good job first year, was trying hard second year, but internal team stabilities (players not required carrying on like palavas) and lack of support (board apparently never wanted him), led to us winning a mere couple of games less
3. SK. 1st 10 rounds last year an abomination. From there had us playing structured and consistently. We lacked flair. Second year 1st 10 rounds were an abomination, after that SK showed a lack of ability to bring the team together.
Sure, there might be some culture issues, but name me the players who are common to all
6 years?
Hayne, Burt, Hindmarsh, Ben Smith, Moi Moi
Either it's all their fault, or the matching results came through differing (and fairly obvious) factors.
