I have rose coloured glasses when it comes to the club - we embraced the rebuild and five year plan this is our best start in five years and beaten two top eight sides and should have smashed Melbourne black and blue.
I think we are on the right track - Ratts was my first choice as senior coach but saw Teague as a more long term 15 year type coach.
I think the game plan is sound and the players fighting till the end shows there is solid resolve to win. Just missing abit of class around the edges - but nothing too serious.
Collingwood went out and got Adams and Treloar while they already had steelbottom and pendelbury
Richmond went out and got Prestia and Caddy while having Cotchin and Martin
Brisbane went out and got Neal, Cameron, McCarthy and Lyons while having Zorko, Christensen, Robbo, Rayner and McCluggage on the list
Can't underestimate adding top end talent to the list and we need to do that this off season and add to the midfield. If its Brad Couch so be it if its Fiorini so be it.. but need to add more quality.
The game plan is not sound, back across chipping possession footy until the half forward line then go the bomb is slow and telegraphed. We need to ues the middle of the ground play fast footy and give our forwards a chance to beat their opponent. We bank on contested marking and holding in the ball, shit plan. By the time the footy gets down there the opposition have crowded our forward line. New wave of crap but at least we have fast defenders when their runners take the ball
