Message: [QUOTE="something, post: 3075764, member: 8835"] I’m still of the belief that it will only take small tweaks. If I were Sieby doing my review ... First off - we aren’t going to win the premiership next year, it’s going to take longer - but we can lay really good foundations for the following year. 1) Macca and Darius good bye, obviously try to cut some sort of deal, but if they play hard ball, I’d just cop the $1,000,000 wasting away in QCUP for a year and think of it as a test. If we can come 5th let’s say, with 1M missing, imagine what we can do with an extra million 2021. 2) Leadership - do we focus on today or tomorrow? I wouldn’t be bringing in an external captain. I would create the leadership group with a clear distinction between the on-field leaders (TPJ, Lodge, Haas, and probs Bird), the older heads (Glenn & Gillo) and the younger “future captains” (Dearden, Carrigan) ... Milford, despite all his skill, doesn’t strike me as a leader - unfortunately. From that, as others have said a leader will emerge. Personally I think Carrigan has the best hair, so it should be him. Also he seems very articulate and doesn’t really make mistakes. 3) Milford issue.... at his best he is proper elite, right now he is proper average. Is this attitude or systematic of playing too many roles at once? Basically this is high priority because we need him to be firing if we want to win anything. His role needs to be at 6, and it needs to be simplified. If this doesn’t work.... goodbye and sorry :( 4) young bloods - we have seen our strong young forwards coming through, now it’s time to see what the backs can do. One major positive for me is how Seibs blooded the youths this year, he didn’t rush anything. If he can keep doing this with the likes of Farnworth, Coates, Paix etc. then I’m pretty comfortable there. Some of these guys will be guns. 5) on-field. Review turning points in games. Why were we so resilient against sharks / warriors / eels then so crap at other times? Why did we suck so much away from home? Find out what drives the boys..... and find out what crushes them. They don’t have the mental resilience of other teams. Personally I think getting rid of Boyd will have a huge impact on this. When your captain is walking, why bother running? That’s kind of all before you get in to the coaching stuff. Most of it is off field and attitude. Lots to fix, but it’s just laying good foundations. Obviously the boys can play footy, just that the foundations are shaky. [/QUOTE]
