I think Ross has had enough time to reinvent himself, his gameplan and the way he goes about managing his assistant coaches and player...because lets be honest this 'rebuild' is more about rebuilding Ross than our list. The poor results over the period have resulted in draft picks and talent coming through the door but I dont believe it was ever intended to be like this...but its buying him time to find his way again. He hasnt been able to do this though and that his and the culbs failure.
The 5 year contract should never have happened because we dont need to lock a failing coach away! Theres no easy answer now...they need to either sack him or do a Collingwood/RIchmond type overhaul of ass coaches...wouldnt be surprised if he gets them winning again next year but I genuinely dont want to see them winning the Ross way anymore! I want to see an invigorated game plan and new ideas. His take on players positions and roles is so tired and restrictive....for example, Stephen Hill should be a top 20 AFL player by now but Ross has him role playing. TIme for change, if not Ross then guerra, prior, hale etc
