remember WP he was the last man to get us into a final and beat our arch rival in doing so.

We are no better now than what we were with him as our coach so you can spew all you like but FACTS ARE FACTS

Can't agree with your assessment there daniel. When we bottomed out in our final year with Danny we had an older list with very few players under 23. Today the majority of the list is under 23 which gives me a lot of hope for the future. I had none with Danny.

Comparing only win/loss and finals appearances you would say that Danny gave us more than TW but I would take our current position any day over the one that Danny gave us in his last year.

He is still bitter over his departure and enjoys seeing other fail like he did thus the joy and smuness in his comment to WP.

i think he would be thinking "see i knew it wasn't me" in his defence of his coaching abilities.

Fair is Fair though i am not so fussed about our list and their age groups its quality of talent im interested in and Spud through all his faults saw me beat the Blues in a final.

Wallet has had 5 years to get it right and has failed miserably

True but surely you have more hope with where our list sits today with players such as Cotchin, Lids and co than you did when Spud departed?

Well I can say that after the Cotch goal a charming gentleman in front of us dropped his dacks and mooned us to the applause of his female companion

It certainly was a scary place on Sunday
