I recall. West coast in their last season under worsfold had appalling skills and would laugh every time masten got the ball.
I then remember Adam Simpson arriving at west coast and in one of his first pressers was asked about his impression of the team. He said they were incredibly fit but their skill level was below par.
Now watch them play and the improvement occurred even in their first season.
Our coaching panel rewards effort over skill and even the west in reviewing the derby said ‘ effort and skill beat effort”.
The man does not value skill highly enough , otherwise how does Sutcliffe and his ilk survive the butchering of the ball. He reluctantly drops unskilled players who are regiment in following his game plan and is snarky when questioned about it.
All I can hear from supporters who fear change - don’t change the coach because better the devil you know!
We are already in hell and the freo brand is being irreparably damaged not just with the football public , but with the players and potential recruits.
Seriously even if ross succeeded who wants to watch footy being played that way.
He has to go but he won’t , no one in their right mind would touch him.
He is certainly not the only one to blame for this fiasco , bond , Dale Alcock and Peter bell should stick to his inate Seinfeld observations on the ABC then be a serious footy administrator on our board.
The club is a joke and it’s so sad we have people defending the indefensible.
Some one said the situation is complicated to simply blame ross or the board. Yeah , maybe but Sometimes it is also pretty simple.
In this case it is simply pure incompetence.
No one and I mean no professional team gets 23 consecutive goals scored against , even east freo would of stopped that.
For the players and coaching to be so bereft of any idea to simply score a goal was incredulous.
