1. Success or otherwise of a playing group is a reflection of the coaches throughout their career. Players that have been through Richo and Ratten are a product of their coaching. A new coach doesn't untrain that period in their career. It's why players that have come in from outside of our team have risen to the top quickly despite 3 changes of coach, and also why a new coach doesn't make a non competitive team competitive immediately.
2. Ross is clearly a micromanager, and Ross v1.0 and v2.0 were not the empowering leadership type. It remains to be seen if 'cuddly' Ross v3.0 can be the empowering, trusting coach he needs to be.
3. Ratts was the trusting, empowering leader but lacked the accountability and desire for elevated standards that Ross and GT have.
4. The GT archetype of leader is what the club needs during a rebuild, but not necessarily as the match day coach. I think we have that in DC, would like to see him more involved in leadership.
5. The role of the head coach is 80% team building and 20% strategy. If Ross can get a good group of assistants to handle the strategy, he can focus on the team building. It's not the best example but the Hinkley/Carr arrangement is one of the clearer setups in the league.

Re: Leadership group
Players are not products of coaches
Coaches are products of players
The best coach in the AFL is not Clarkson, Scott, Lyon 0r McRae
It’s the one with the best players available
At the moment that is Longmire
