Agree with you MTTM, remember Nathan even admitted we were on 'autopilot' in 2012, and a slightly modified 'autopilot' in 2013 (and that EF was a disgrace... look at the last quarter highlights of Bucks in the box to see he has no idea what he's doing...). 2018 was an aberration and mostly due to Longmuir's influence.Magpietothemax wrote:Your account of the history leaves so much out that it becomes what you accused me of: spouting revisionist bs.dalyc wrote:
This is revisionist bs. 2012 we lost a prelim to eventual premiers days after the loss of JMac. 2013 made the finals. 2014-2017 was a rebuild period during which time we also sustained probably the worst run of injuries I’ve ever experienced as a supporter. 2018 - despite another wretched run with injuries we were 2 mins and an appalling umpire decision from the flag. 2019 prelim loss by a straight kick. 2020 semis.
This is not the record of someone who cannot coach. It’s fu$king hard to win a flag in a equalised system.
I won't argue with you further. You clearly read history in a different manner to me. The truth will become more apparent as time goes on, I guess.
And obviously the statement of 'It’s fu$king hard to win a flag in a equalised system' is totally null and void due to Hawthorn's three peat and Dickmonds three out of four.... and just in the last 10 years, I mean sure equalization plays some factor but obviously if you got a good coach who knows what he's doing with the right system around him... your statement has nowhere to hide.
