@ajsadauskas @afl Reminds me of when Mick Malthouse went to Carlton after leaving Collingwood, and it quickly became clear it wasn't nearly enough to turn that club around. But even then Malthouse finished up at Carlton with a 20-33 win-loss ratio

Didn't Malthouse openly attack the carlton management after he left by accusing them of not being willing to rebuild their list as much as they needed and being way too arrogant because they're carlton with 16 premierships?
@maegul @ajsadauskas @afl No, that's not true at all. He got fired *because* he openly attacked the Carlton management on a radio program while he was still senior coach
I'd just like my team to win one this year. Just one and I'd be happy 🤞
@CEOofmyhouse56 I take it you're a North supporter?
Yep
@CEOofmyhouse56 If it's any consolation, I barrack for the Hawks, and we're in a very similar spot in terms of being a rebuilding team...
It's their first proper year with Clarko, not gonna judge too much until the end of the year. They've really suffered from (A) being a minnow club that doesn't naturally attract talented players with experience, and (B) terrible luck at the draft until the last two or three years. Their midfield appears decent and Larkey is elite but they've been hurt by being denied access to players like JUH and Jed Walter.
@ajsadauskas @afl You only get Mitchell/Lewis/Hodge/Franklin/Roughead once in a lifetime.
@yo_eddy @afl And then a truckload of really talented footballers around that core.
Cyril, Burgoyne, Brian Lake, Luke Breust, Jack Gunston, Ben McEvoy, Paul Puopolo, Josh Gibson.
Also, he already had a group of very talented older players to work with when he got there.
Peter Everitt, Shane Crawford, Trent Croad, Nick Holland, Mark Williams, Richie Vandenberg...
