I thought that was the promise/ plan but failed to deliver last 2-3 drafts. Setterfield and Kennedy were the 2 SoS traded to help Cripps long term. Short term, he tried to get Coniglio, Shiel, Gaff and Kelly but with the little luck. More to do with our progress and external factors. I would say both have improved a lot this year. Consistency still building, but Setters is at least 3/4 good, Kennedy 3/5. I like your thinking. |

2020 is a bit of a Mickey Mouse season 17 matches Shorter quarters Home ground advantage almost out the window No reserve comp But at the end of the day with a reasonable run with injuries Our ladder position will show where we are at compared to the other seventeen teams |

Nope I have never felt more confident backing the club since the rebuild was announced. Appointing Bolton as coach was a monumental screw up that has set us back 2-3 years. I feel the appointments of Liddle, Lloyd, Playfair and Teague are above average appointments with the right skill sets. The problem with our club is we have come along way back further back than one would like to admit considering the sheer number of dead wood that had to be culled, so rebuilding was never going to be easy. I am extremely confident in the direction the club is going - wish we had better luck with injuries - to make top four we need our best team on the ground every week as it builds synergy over time. Without that synergy I think we are a 6th to 10th on the ladder type team on raw talent. So I am not nervous I am excited with the ups and downs and seeing the group bounce back from lows etc.. instilling strong team character is not going to be easy but Teague can do it. |
