sorry typo...riding the coat tails and baulking going into finals.
For mine though there are incremental improvements between 16 and 17 a lot of the work was already done by Roos. Goodwin and co simply carried on, and modified since. This isn't his team..not yet. Imho the person responsible for getting 18/22 blokes on the park ready for battle and switched on is the coach Round 23 was beyond abject fail considering what was at stake/on offer.
We faced a VFL strength side and stank it up. If the coach doesnt accept responsibility...he ought go find another job
