I don't blame Goody entirely either BUT, clearly the buck stops with the head coach. To this end he has the final say on recruiting, player selections week to week, player development and most importantly coaching strategies. To this end he has been the architect of a so far shaky edifice!
Re Norm Smith, best Melbourne coach ever! If he was around now whose to say he wouldn't be just as successful? He was ahead of his time! a shrewd tactician, Disciplinarian, players man and brilliant match day coach.
