Quote: Sandro II Terrorista "It's not though is it.
Not a question, part of working as a team is being big enough to understand that you have to compromise in order for the team to move forward.'"
I’d have to know what the compromise is to judge who, if anybody, should have made it, and even then it is only my judgement. I think there’s a decent chance I’d think that Lakin could have been more flexible, but I don’t know the issue(s) of contention. I like Smith and he’s earned the right to know his own worth, but he can sometimes be a wee bit prickly and impatient.
Sometimes a compromise isn’t healthy or productive if it makes you unhappy. A single okay vision is generally better than two different good ones. He and Lakin are in leadership roles rather than team roles (makes it sound more mutually exclusive than it is, I know), and it looks like they haven’t been able to agree on boundaries.
Sometimes things just run their course. Sheens did what we needed him to. Morgan did a great job, and I was sorry to see him go, but I understood why the club wanted to try a different approach.
I’m disappointed but not devastated. The bad years left me with a deep distrust of ‘entertaining footy’, maybe that is why!
