Again you are MASSIVELY missing the turn around in game stylesamoht wrote: ↑Sat 07 Jan 2023 10:04am Would Collingwood have even come close in those 7 or so close games decided by a goal or so to display the "new found never say die attitude" without the better run with injury and without the addition of young Daicos??
That injury plus Daicos factor alone would probably make them a 6 goal better team, easy.
Look no further than the injuries to key players plus the Daicos factor. It's the only real factor in my view.
And let's not forget that Buckley played under a multi premiership coach and was his understudy ... and got his side to within a goal of winning the premiership.
Collingwood under Buckley we’re a defensive first outfit
McRae said - **** that , take the game on never say die
Players responded
I can’t believe you can’t see the difference in coaching style - just an injury here or there or Daicos??
I’d argue crabbing around the boundary line like they did with Daicos added would not have yielded the sane results
6 goal better side cause of a new kid with no reference to HOW they played differently is missing the point
Again, your theory then is - a cardboard box can coach??? There is zero difference between Allistair Clarkson and Brett Ratten in your world except that ignores totally what a top line coach influences and brings and narrowly just looks at the list
If it’s ALL list - hang the coach then Leon Cameron at GWS should have 5 flags
He doesn’t.
It’s why elite coaches get paid the big bucks
They have the ability to bring a list/team together!
