By the way a couple of things from the night that I've just remembered:
* The Club especially last year under a new coach with a young list just wanted to concentrate on how we played rather than what the opposition did. So we focussed on new gameplan, our skills, structures, etc. The focus has slowly changed to opposition analysis this year which is why Cambo's got the opposition analyst gig. His sole role now is to report on what's happening at opposition we are playing next and how they are playing and then on matchday report to the coaches in the box about whether the opposition is playing as we planned or are they doing things differently. Now that we are heading out of the "transition" stage and into "winning mode" in 2012 and beyond we will focus far more on opposition analysis.
* Even though our TPP is at 92.5% of the salary cap, we've already started front-loading contracts to free up space in our salary cap and hence money available for when free agency comes in next year.
* We want to free up picks (translated = spots on our list) for next year's draft.
* The Club is fairly confident that although Lids is coming out of contract next year (GWS can chase uncontracted next year as well), we feel that we will have an environment and a up and coming side that Lids will want to be apart of. As mentioned earlier the Club sees Lids as one of our leaders.
* Cameron also mentioned when we were 0-9 last year we were being classed at the worst side in history yet since then we have won 14 from 34 games which is just under a half. So we are improving.
