Our coaching was poor ok.
Disagree with Merricks comments ok.
Doesn't Merrick have some nouse about players and the game with all his experience ?
I seem to recall he coached a pretty damn good winning MV.

Therefore lets consider all these current players have been coached pretty good through their AL careers to date, from Jnrs to Snrs.
Alot of coaching and playing Snr games.
Considering we didn't score 1 goal and obviously Vidmars tournament instructions didn't suit, has "individualism" been coached out of these budding up and coming wonders ?
Surely there is one or 2 kids who can take on a low block defense dribble past 2 and shoot f ya.
Are they trained to stick to the plan like I watch AL week in week out.
I have watched Volpato last couple of years take defense's on even score for eg, he was let go by 2 AL clubs.
