Whenever we're down by a lot of points and there is only 15 or so minutes left, we start throwing the ball around and start to look real dangerous. We look like we're actually trying to win the game. If the players trusted AOB, they'd just stick to the original game plan till the 80th minute. KPP and Lucas look like strike backrowers but we aren't using them as such. The Hastings short ball to KPP is vomit worthy. If he is going to short ball then put Lucas on the left. Lucas looks like a great hole runner and has that step before the line. KPP needs the ball earlier to do damage, either with a fend or some footwork or an offload.

I don't hate AOB, seems like a great bloke but I hate his coaching style. I reckon he'd still make a great assistant coach somewhere. Has no ideas of how to win footy games.

That cannot sit well with the group of
players then. Might explain the drop off
In our play. Seems like the agency of the team and coach has been removed to a degree.
That would be another sign at the lack of resilience in this club.

If we had a proper leadership group they’d have the ability to challenge the vanilla dog shit game plan. The coach describes them as an ugly team who needs to learn to win ugly. That’s got nothing to do with the board. They went away from ugly successfully last season and then went back to it season.

The team and coach have full agency. Perform well and win games and the group stays together.
Fair enough. I think when all is said and done, Peter O’Sullivan will have had quite the impact across the organisation in the next 1-2 years. It seems like he is the wise man being brought in to counsel all at the top end on what needs to be done.

DT and fox league really sinking the boot in with these player divide articles……seen about about 4 articles in the last 12 hours
yesterday the original article on FOX never mentioned player divide. I noticed later in the day "player divide" headline and paragraph added

Presumably the first run garnered fewer clicks than anticipated
