Did you not read my earlier response in this thread. Read the second last paragraph.
Also, yes, if Hasler cannot get consistent effort out of what is a 1/2 a million dollar player, I would think I, and many, many others would be rather critical of that fact on both player, AND coach.
In fact, I'm pretty sure many of you would be readily getting up Des if Williams flounders (which I hope he does).
I think what Williams was quoted as saying, is very disrespectful of Toovey, but at the same time, I think it's a concern.
ANY coach has to have his entire team motivated, even in the worst circumstances. That, or they have to at least attempt to do so.
I'm surprised people don't agree with that sentiment.
So what are you arguing, Ryan? Tooves didn't
attempt to motivate Williams? That on the basis of Williams remaining inconsistant over 2012 (as he was for the years prior under Des), we crucify the coach and ignore the success of the larger group?
Toovey and his crew are trying to juggle 50-ish
individual personalities during the course of the season, on top of all the other elements that are required to win games of football.
I'm surprised you can't see your own opinion on this appears clouded by a personal judgement, using a tenious link between Williams' attitude (of which the history is long and well documented, even under Des) and the current coach's abilities to motivate.
