The Benefits of Round 4 GWS Win

[Young Dee 1,303]

I said before the GWS game that there was nothing in that game for us - everyone was saying how it was such a big game but what did that win get us? I can't see any confidence or improvement coming from that. I hated saying it then and I hate being the one to say it now but what if the best result long term for this club was a loss in round 4. If we hadn't won that game I believe Neeld would either have already been sacked by now or be under serious evaluation (after GC loss). Does anyone now believe that changes are going to be made before the seasons end? I think if we were 0 and 7 and going on to play Richmond, Fremante, Hawthorn, Collingwood, St Kilda etc. - some action would have been taken. That GWS game only served to give Neeld, the department and the players a little bit more breathing room and could now be the difference between drastic changes being made at the MFC. I can't see us having any chance of winning a game until round 19 against GWS. Neeld attempted a clean out of the MFC but he didn't do enough - Surely if we where 0 and 10 for the second time in 2 years action would need to be taken. The question is will one win against GWS effect our ability to clean out the MFC? Should we wait to the end of the season to make drastic changes? We need to get it right this time - clear every little piece of cancer at the club and appoint proven and the best people for the job.

What do people think about winning another couple more cheap games this year (GWS and GC - round 19 and 20) would this be the best result for the club long term or will it only give Neeld and this cancerous team more time? What would we take from those wins?

I am not refering to tanking by the way! - just thinking long term (if there is one)

Bump.

Anyone think that Neeld would have been sacked by now if we lost to GWS?

I actually sort of thing the board and more specifically Peter Jackson is just looking at the results as the board for GC and GWS were/are. They probably figure that sacking him won't do anything for the team and it won't make much of a difference in the long run, it'd just be a short term appeasement for the fans.
