Team Captain
Think we should a rule on this site - no meber of losing a match after a win is not allowed to post ..
The emotional overreaction...
We are in transition....From the Buckley , Burns era to a new era with H Shaw , Thomas and Pendlebury.Nex year Cook and stanley will come in. Growing pains expected.
By and large the year has been better than expected. Flat track bullies certianly.
Clearly though against the better teams we have been found wanting.
The key fwd have let us down late. Whilst wecontinue to go with one ruck we will continue to lose games. Pure folly.
Some hard decisons on talls at end of year. Walker, Fanning, Richards and C Cloke in all serious doubt. They are just not maturing.
At the draft we need talls and talls and then talls.
1-2 drafts away from being remotely been a contender. ( i.e 2-3 years ). Next year may even see a step backwards as this will be Bucks and Burns last year.
I dont think we are any certainty to make the eight either just quietly. This slide is rapidly turning into a avalanche of a slump.
Patience is required.
