Couldn't help myself but after watching the 2010 clash against the Lions I was thinking

What if

We had let James McDonald, Cameron Bruce and Brad Green play another year or 2 at the club

We had sacked Schwab instead of Bailey after 186

We'd kept Warnock (instead of Sellar and Gillies)

Rivers and Moloney had stayed instead of Rodan and Byrnes

Scully was never offered a contract by GWS

Clark, Trengove and Grimes hadn't been injured so much

We'd trade Sylvia for Hogan

Personally I think we'd be substantially better off

We need better management and we need it soon

What if we had of drafted every gun player the last 15 years.....

What ifs don't really wash with me. I'd rather look at why did we? Then if that was the wrong call ensure we don't make the same mistakes which is something we need to learn.

We as a club need to stop wondering about what if, concentrate on what do we need to do!

Some of the points you make contradict each other. We probably wouldn't have Clark if Scully stayed as we used the money for him to offer Clark.

Also how would keeping Bailey had made a difference? It was well documented he was not coaching at a high level (letting players skip time trials).

Essentially we should have got rid of him and Schwab at that time, and probably a few other board members. But that will be happening in the next year or so anyway just a bit late.

Pfff.. What if?

What if i was having a shower and I slipped on a bar of soap?

Oh my god I'd be killed!

Hehe, sorry couldn't resist.

But you're right it is amazing at how our climb up the ladder back then has turned into a drastic nose dive, and largely as you said due to poor management! Fingers crossed things start to improve, god knows they need to!

We wouldn't have Clark and probably not Dawes if we'd kept Scully.

We'd also not have had Clark either way if Neeld wasn't coach. Are you suggesting ANY coach would have chased him? I'm not sure Bailey would have.

A better question:

Had Paul McNamee had stayed on and gotten his way re. throwing a million bucks at Jonno Brown, would we be better off?

The Schwab instead of Bailey scenario is kind of like swapping [censored] for [censored], really.
