HJ, round 6 it is. We'll discuss your BS views then.
lol, my BS views atm are that he stuffed up, hehe.
But seriously, it was only one game, and there are plenty more to come. While of course no one is going to be happy with last night, it has to be understood that we have a totally different team and a totally different playing mentality this year - one, might I note, that everyone was drooling and knocking off over up until 7:30 last night.
I never heard one bad comment about buys such as Pearson etc before last night, it was all..."Wow, we are massive, we are going to SMASH everyone! We have a great team!" blah blah blah.
How long did it take us to gel in 96, when we went through pretty much the same thing? Look, vent your anger at whoever you want if it makes you feel better, but always remember that premierships are not won in March and that finding a good combination of 17 is going to take a while, and may cost us some competition points and a for/against standing in the process.
6 weeks is a good time frame to look for progress. We don't by any means need to be beating teams by 30 in order to say that successful changes have been made, but instead the thing we should be looking for is have the right people been found to play the right positions? Has last night's team selection debacle been put to bed, and has sense come to the fore?
Only time will tell.
