facts are we have improved this year and that is all that was expected,

That's not what you were saying about 4-5 weeks ago

 :lol :lol   :jump

But you are right

wp, u must admit , for or five weeks ago we really didnt show improvement on last yr , we seemed to be slipping, but since then we resorted back to the long kicking game plan and look at the results. now we have improved , but if he had of finished the season in the form of 5 weeks ago, one would have questioned if we improved .

and u know im right ! lol

You know what? I think you're right  :lol :rollin

many sides, and in particular young sides, will have a form slump at some during the season, Bo.

When your base is as low as ours...well we saw the results of a form slump.

If anyone can definitively put their finger on why this happens they will be able to write their own salary package in the sporting world
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I actually think Roos is spot on.
I think the most pertinent thing about us as a club was that he hoped for our sake that we aren't looking forward to the season next year as we have been for the last 30 years b/c of failure.

He also had alot of praise for Cotch and Vickery and some of our other kids.

Sustained success on field will change perception of those who have dished out punishment to us over the years.

spot on Tucker. Anyone who thinks Roos has some sort of hatred against us need to get off the shawitzi.

He acknowledges  good performances as you said and gives his opinion like he did last night.

I think Roos was spot on. The media and us supporters have had enough of promises of finals etc etc Time for action and thats a final 8 spot for me in 2012.

We can match it with most sides out of the 8. GWS, GC, Port, Buldogs, Dees, Adelaide, Freo, Ess, Sydney(Melb),

A finish outside the 8 is a failure IMO

Agree Tucker didn't think he comments were sinister in any way

Sadly for us they were pretty much spot on
