And apparently it's because he listened to the views of some learned people on this site and made the moves they wanted
For some anti MM TC'ers, a loss only validates their opinion of MM's archaic gameplan but a win is justified by the fact that MM finally saw sense and reverted back to this or that style.
Do you know what
***We've dedicated over 100 pages to our diabolical list management
***Had a captain whose influence this year has been significantly sub par
***Have a former captain whose influence on games is being reduced
***We've had a new hard arsed coach who's ruffled feathers with some players obviously sooking
***The players are learning (or not), understanding (or not) following (or not) a gameplan that many on this site abhor
***We were hamstrung (to a great extent) with list changes at the end of the year
***Carazzo has been unavailable most of the year
***Lost Betts for 6 weeks or so + a quiet year from him anyway
***If it weren't for Waite's stupidity, Yarran's petulance and some half decent kicking, would have won 14 games this year (coulda shoulda woulda I know, but whilst not fact, it's a strong case)
***Beat Nth and Saints who've been bogey sides
***Judd, Simpson, Scotland, Carazzo, Waite two years older since the halcyon days of 2011
***according to some on this site, we have at least half a dozen players who've gone backwards under MM
Forget finals as we're there by default.
For a year that's exposed our deficiencies more than any other, we've actually had a more positive outcome than most here can accept
