I dont know how I would feel if I were Brad Scott or Brendan Bolton. I think there can be arrogant disregard shown by players towards coaches who haven't played the game at the top level and maybe that is a barrier that Bolton ran up against.
I think B-Mac ran into it too. It used to annoy me when players said "B-mac, pfffttt he didn't play league footy why should I listen to him?"
"Because he's been involved in 3 AFL premierships and that 3 more than you have been involved in..."
Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?
