I think there's more to it and Duffield knows this, hence his reference to both parties being diplomatic. I think he is carrying the can for the awful list management of recent years. I'll say it again 2011 to 2015 was disgraceful. That team of picks should be at 100 games by now. We got Tabs, Neale, Blakely and not too much else I reckon.
I also think its known some of these more recent picks aren't much chop either. I don't think he resigned. I think he got asked to leave.
Reading between the lines further they'll swing back to focusing on local talent now. Probably compensate in an absurd manner, but that's what we do.
