I keep trying to imagine our team playing better but I don't imagine it as enjoyable as in the past. I remember the good times early on under Danniher and how the team would sometimes steamroll the opponents with rampaging tight teamwork comming out of defence and up the ground. I can't imagine that today. Has the game changed so much or have I been watching poor performance too long? Back then,guys like Alistair Nicholson , Jeff White , David Neitz , Cameron Bruce , Nathan Carroll , Jared Rivers, Brad Miller, Clint Bizzell , Paul Wheatley , Travis Johnstone , Adem Yze , Daniel Ward , Simon Godfrey , Brad Green, Russell Robertson , Guy Rigoni , Nathan Brown , James Mcdonald , Peter Walsh, Matthew Whelan seemed so heroic (some more, some less) but we just seem to have hardly any characters anymore. Will this change as we improve (if we improve)?

No.

Apart from the umpires letting players throw the ball when they're tackled, the answer is "Yes. The game is better." But it's also less enjoyable, since we haven't been any good at footy since I was in Year 10. That's just crazy!
