Been watching/listening on the sidelines and thought I would chime in, take from it what you like. For the last 4-5 seasons the club has mainly been run by the 'undropable' stalwarts of the playing group, basically with a coach to show face. With the introduction of SP to the mix he has his own ideas and certain players I feel dont like this (we are all resistant to change). Managing ego's and changing systems that some could argue have worked over the last few seasons is a hard task. I feel any coach and especially SP has and still has some tough decisions to make. From what i gather Maguire, Hearfield, Goodchild, Tull are all big ego's and personalities to manage. Another thing I gather is a lot of players not just exclusive at CCB want all the money/accolades in the world but wont do the simple things to earn it, i.e turn up to training/club functions and put in a good shift. I think there is a debilitating culture at CCB and SP is trying to shake that up. Will it work? only time and results will tell. They have some decent younger talent comming through the ranks who I feel will still be a few more years off but could make an impact. I also feel there is some untapped depth in the 20 man squad that might get a look in and suprise a few people now a few of these older ego's are moving onto newer pastures. Just my 2cents, still a massive coop for Hamiltion as Goodchild is a quality player/person.
