Yeah cheers TBR... :thumbsup

Look at it anyway you want people, doesn't matter if he hasn't directly mentioned finals or else.....half a brain would work out that's what he meant....

Headline says "NO EXCUSES"....... Pretty obvious what that means.
Finishing ninth next year would still be improvement on 2011  ;)  :o  :outtahere

If you think finishing 9th is an improvement MT....up to you, it would a real let down IMO.

I was just be facetious WAT but ladder-wise finishing ninth would be classed by the media as improvement. Personally though I won't be judging improvement on where we finish on the ladder but more on how we improve and play gamestyle wise as a team, how we stack up against the top sides and how many more cubs have breakout years and show top quality class potential. For mine I'd rather see up push the top sides over 4 quarters as that sign of genuine competitiveness would mean we are showing real improvement towards where we need to get to irrespective of where we finish on the ladder and how many wins we end up with. Whereas beating a few more mediocre and bottom sides next year while still getting flogged by 10+ goals by every top side would still leave huge question marks over us and whether we can bridge the gap despite the win column looking better on paper.

there sure as heck better not be any excuses, we have facilities second to none , a young list to die for and a pre season camp usually reserved for Olympic outfits...we have never been better prepared to launch an almighty assault on this years top 8. if we fail then id expect a number of sackings :shh
