Postecoglou is limited by the materials at his disposal.

We are paying the price for our lack of work developing the yoof/kids 8-10 years ago coupled with the way the NT has been run in the last 6 years with a complete lack of interest in regenerating the side thanks to Pim and Holger

Ange is at least doing what needs to be done even if his hands are tied by necessity
Of course our juniors have often struggled, our system although starting to improve is always lagging. The times when were have been strong is when kids & families take it upon themselves to go OS and fight their way into better coaching.
Ange is a great domestic coach however it still remains that Ange is a shit international coach. Here is how he left our under 20's after his masterful selection & management.
