The bloke can coach and knows how to build a team.
Give him a fit squad and he'd get results.

That squad needs de-cluttering and bolstering still, they’ve done what so many teams before them have and held on to former stars well past their used by date.

Hmm, I could've sworn there was another current AFL coach who fits that bill...

How Longmire and Swans have escaped Criticism this season is beyond me. Most disappointing team so far this season. But have Nth and Carlton before the bye.

False dawn in 2022, won the prelim by a point and would have been better off ( and Grand Final day would have been ) missing out.
Plenty of their players from last year aren't anywhere near that form, Mills and Heeney were both AA, both are paddling, Blakey and Lloyd in defence playing under sized and getting exposed this year and McDonald hasn't made Franklin's spot his own and they're playing a 36 year old who can't get up and down.
Feel like Franklins season is going to tarnish the last great key forwards memories in the game.

i dont mind what Mitchell is doing. The list has to get experience, they have gone full steam ahead at a rebuild. Just a pity Gunston left, but it provides an opportunity for a kid who is likely to be there when they next cancel september holidays

Went along to the G on Saturday expecting to get a flogging, and at quarter time, it was exactly that. Game was over. So as a supporter, you are looking for signs from some of the younger blokes that there is hope for the future. There is hope, there are small signs, but gee they are few & far between. Kositchke for example. Could not get a kick the week before at Preston, but gets recalled, when Reeves goes down as the back up ruckman. Ramsden, was very good in the 2's the week before, and showed some agility to be quite versatile, to at least be a head ache up forward. I'd say Lever would have been pi55-ing himeslf when he trots down back to pick up Kositchke.
They need to stick fat, and back in those that they think will be part of the next successful era. Get a core group of a dozen or so through to 40-50 games playing together, and then you have a little more to work with.
