if it was a final 8 like it is now we would have played finals 65 right thru to 1982. and in 84 and 85.
what i dont get is all the glee for finishing 8th. its really no great achievement.

It was a huge turnaround claw. After 13 games we were below a team that is now asking for a priority pick and we are playing finals. Sure we were putrid in those first 13 games but the measure of a team is how they deal with adversity.  We could have easily given up then. Let's cheer them on this week.
1/ i have never ever liked the idea of a final 8 as it rewards mediocrity hence the post i did.
2/ i do cheer em on, on game day.  outside of that  i  never lose sight of what i think needs to happen.
3/ we were putrid in games after rnd 13 as well.
4/ this thread does not apply to me. no where have i called for harwick to be sacked and in the main have hardly criticised him. in saying that im no closer  to knowing if he can take the club to the next level or not.  i for one dont think he has the cattle and have regularly said it. i certainly think he over rates far too many of our players and where he thinks they can take us.

How do you know he has over rated players?
If, as you say, he doesn't have much to work with - then perhaps he's just trying to get the best from what he has at his disposal.

This.
To get the best out of the players he has, he must give them lots of positive reinforcement.  This may look like over rating players to you but it probably is just being a good coach and creating a positive environment.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

if you cant work that very simple thing out whats the point in even talking.

dont fret little man it aint  the end of the season just yet.i wont be taking an interest in em, that is watching them religiously travelling 4 or 5 times a yr to watch em  or poring over what they do right and wrong in my spare time.
as i said in the other thread a lot of it is not just the tiges but the state of the game itself.its become very hard to watch and has nothing in common with the game i was bought up with
i also wont be supporting them that is taking out membership and making donations.
as for this forum if i aint watching em i can hardly come on here and make comment about em, as such i doubt very much i will be posting on here  very much or at all. i may on the odd occasion do a post but in all honesty i dont see the point in butting my head against a wall continually with many on here. it has become tiresome.

i dare say i will take in the odd game next yr  but other things will take priority.

so show some patience son one more game most likely and you can have free reign to smell the roses. ;)

Port still won the second quarter  40-12, decision has nothing to do with the result.
