Has the experiment of untried club greats turned coaches officially failed now?
Voss, Hird & Buckley ushered in this so called 'untried coaches' era where the media were talking about how the need to have a good apprenticeship as an assistant coach was no longer needed to be a senior AFL coach.
Voss ended bad.
Hird will end worse.
Buckley has taken a very good team, lost some oldies but got a heap of talent and club support. Gone backwards again this year, honourable or not. Will be probably hurt their club the most.
Is it too early to say this theory is shot to hell and back?
