Mitch Clark dodged a bullet there.
Shame that while dodging that bullet he stepped on a landmine... At least there will be no one there to watch him implode.

it seems that the only thing that west coast fans can enjoy in life is to create shit threads about freo.

Well I think there may be some hope...Clement, Brown, Medhurst and White managed to escape the stinking pile that is Freo

Yes the whole competition is trembling with fear at Ladyboy Mastens upcoming season
I feel sorry for freo I mean they cant even win a premiership they blew it. Next year we will hear excuses about them getting treated unfairly by the umps and the AFL and they will also manage to blame injuries.

I feel sorry for freo
So you're suggesting that our injury list last season and rushing unfit players back was par for the course?

Without being cleared by the meds they would not have played. So Mark Harvey cops the blame for your medical teams fault.

Never fear, his family business chipped in to spawn plenty of talent for the WCE while he was assisting there.
No reason to see why that fertile cropland wont continue to flourish...

If injuries were the problem.... why was Mark Harvey sacked
My point was that if you state that injuries were used as an 'excuse', then you must feel the number of injuries we had were normal for a standard season, compared to any other team.
If you agree that our injury list was significant and led to decisions that caused under-prepared players to come back in, and injuries recur (see: Sandilands) - then you also realise that it was a valid justification for our season.
The issue surrounding Mark indicates that the club felt that a better option was available. Whether part of the reason for the change was related to the injury issue or not we'll never know - only that the club felt that a better long term option was available to improve the club and they took it.

Incidentally to the Coast supporters - if you look at 2010 vs 2011 and the performance of your club over that time, how much of it can be put down to improvements in -
1) game plan
2) player availability and uninterrupted preparation in pre-season
3) good run with injuries
4) a decent draw *
* while it does help i don't consider it too important for the sake of the exercise since it's the one thing outside of the control of each club

By that logic how did you manage to win a spoon then?
Successful culture? Well you certainly were successful at itMy comments were as much the reasons behind 2010 as the improvement to 2011

That and watch our team win finals rare arse.
How did that work out for you? The only team who can gloat about 2011 is Geelong. Carlton are getting in early and gloating about coming second in 2012. But you still lost a final - and in the end came out with nothing.
If only 1 team can gloat over a season why do you bother watching, following footy? You will never win a premiership and never be able to gloat about anything.

Finals experience is paramount to building a premiership team. Teams rarely win flags without consecutive finals appearances. The kids learn the pace and intensity and you build from that.
It's never a waste.
Unless you're Freo, St Kilda or the Bulldogs.

Yeah I'll concede the point regarding development and experience
It's still only part of the journey though and not the destinationComing second is still coming second. Bit like the St Kilda supporters who refuse to acknowledge their loss in 2010. We get excited when our teams improve and show potential, gain experience and develop, but we're there for them to win
