They look for reasons, excuses and curses as to why things go wrong. Funny how they are mostly the same naysayers who can't see the big steps in improvement this year. This current list are writing their own history and very few remain from the Schwab era. Our history and connecion with it is we play at the G, we wear red and blue, we are the oldest professional football club in the world , we have won 12 Premierships and we have produced many icons of the game. Expand Seriously?? We have done NOTHING of note in the last two years, the Roos years were very promising but how can you say we have improved?? For Christ sake we are the Biggest goal kicking pts scored side going around .. And no certainties to make the 8 Where is the improvement that equates to games won?? Tell me !! Quote

picket fence 18,188 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Nup improvement tabulates with KPI s and the biggest KPI is playing finals. We are a long way from that !! Consistent?? We are consistently inconsistent! Loses to St. Kilda prove that! What did we learn from Round 1 vs Geelong and how did that equate to a win? It didn't! What did we learn from last round last year?

Can't quite remember, might be Bub. So how exactly does the ghost of NS still hangs over us? Get over these silly superstitions. They are irrelevant to today. Quote

Personally I like wins, but we are getting better. Max kicks goal round one. Umpires don’t win game for Port. Then Dees beat Saints the following week. Cats miss one shot at goal in last qtr. Demons a clear game on top! Also if my Auntie had balls she’d be my Uncle! But in reality, we’re not that far off it! Quote
picket fence 18,188 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 "But in reality, we’re not that far off it! " But far enough away to say we still aren't good enough! Need selectors to make correct calls, coaches to be proactive on match day and players to stand up, otherwise like a house of cards we will still cave in. as we have done time and again. Fancy being the highest scoring team to not make finals. It is as absurd as it is shameful if it happens. Quote

Who ever sacked the great man hang your head in shame. Expand I've always found it strange* that the AFL chose to give the Norm Smith medal to the best player at the Grand Final rather than to the coach of the year or the coach of the premiership team. Smith was a great player, too, but given he's best remembered for being a coach it seems wrong that his name is not associated with a coaching award. There are plenty of players who's names would not be inappropriate for the best player in the Grand Final including our own Ron Barassi, but also Michael Tuck, Alex Jesaulenko, etc. Nevertheless, it's too late now. *Actually, not so strange. It is the AFL, after all. 1 Quote
