My whole arguement all along has been no supporter can possibly have said at the end of 1995 we should've moved on a heap of the list and planned for the future. As supporters the focus was on 1996. So too for the club. As I have said from the start, there is no-one alive who could've thought otherwise and to say NOW that you did is silly, a lie, and would make you an utter fraud.
You make a good point saying that supporters who all of a sudden have 20/20 hindisght are lying if they wanted a list overhaul at the end of 95. However, it would appear that the Club, too were in the supporters mindset, rather than be a little cold, brutal and calculating about the future.
How will Sydney do in 08, 09, 2010? I don't care, really, but I'm pretty sure that their football department seems to act a whole lot more business-like and professionally than Carlton's did in 96 (and maybe even now...)
The Sydney supporters may not be stressing about 2009 (2011 is a little far-fetched for mine), but I'm pretty sure there will be someone in the Football Dept who will be.
