Bailey has to take some heat going forward, however why did Daniher"s teams fail in the finals? Our KPP issues have been around for many years and Daniher couldnt solve! How do you expect Bailey to solve it in 6months and time will tell for him too!

:angry: These guys have a lot to answer for! How many Key position players did they produce? Who will replace Neitz? Our backline is a disgrace with only Rivers & Whelan who can hold down their spots Since Swarta left who have they developed?? Miller cant play!! So dont blame Bailey you can only work with the cattle you got!!

Ask travis did the Facilities cost them finishing top 4 in 2006 when they were on top at rd 18 then lose the next 5 incuding the final agianst Essendon? Did Facilities cost them finishing top 4 in 2005 when they were sitting second after round eleven and lose the next 7 in a row and just scrape into the Finals and get flogged by geelong. Did Facilities cost them finishing top 4 in 2006 when after rd 18 they were in third spot and slip out of the the top four and win the first final against Stkilda and then lose to Freo? Maybey what cost them a flag was a mental toughness issue and along with the other leaders went soft when the pressure was applied to them! Maybey Travis should ask himself how much grog he drank ast to why he went missing at critical times? I doubt if facilities would have made a difference!

The current problems are due to poor list management! The bulk of the players played in the 04,05,06 seasons and contunued to fail with mental toughness issues, players like White, Yze, Green, Bruce, Wheatly, Miller, Robertson etc Daniher & co didnt make tough calls cause it was very clear that these players went missing during important games and we could have got some currencyand gained good draft picks How many players are still around since 2000 GF loss. Sure they were young but they always went missing in those odd years of not making finals How many backmen did the Daniher era produce?? How many forwards to replace Neitz did he produce?? Bailey will do a next cleanout this year and we need to follow the lead of Hawthorn Lets not forget Geelong took 8 yrs in the making with Mark Thompson and they developed a list. So we will have to be patient!
