"We're confident we've got the right people at the club to get the best out of any players," Miller said.
That's one BIG statement!
Hopefully for all our blokes that is now true because it hasn't been so for a couple of decades at Punt Road.
u must admit its ben a long time since we had this quality of coaches and ppl at tigerland
I thought it was a sizeable statement by GM to make. Especially considering that Fevola has already had quality coaches in David Parkin and Denis Pagan and they couldn’t get him to play consistent football.
It’s one thing to have confidence in people, another to pay to bring in extra challenges for them, as if there aren’t enough to contend with.
If nothing else, the Swans proved that what you need most of all to win a Premiership is players that are prepared to do the team things. Players with a ‘me, me’ individual attitude are the biggest hindrance in any team environment and the Swans went out of their way to weed out those types from their Club.
Yet here we are potentially looking to bring one into ours. I don’t see how bringing that type of personality into the Club could be considered a benefit, unless they come accompanied with a major reality check and do some fast growing up. Otherwise, they just make life harder for everyone else than it needs to be.
I’ll be a whole lot happier when he either stays where he is or goes somewhere other than Richmond to ply his trade.
