I'm not disputing the fact a team need to finish top 2 let alone top 4. As I mentioned earlier, Brad's month off was a blessing in disguise. Our Football Department is the best it's ever been and it's growing every year but don't mistake that for being one of the best in the league as it isn't close and therefore that doesn't mean a flag is an absolute must or the coach gets the chop. The only pressure on Brad's job is from the fans which ultimately equates to nothing.And it's now taken a seven game winning streak to even get within a sniff of the top four, where you need to be to have any serious chance at contending. We're in this position because, as Tas astutely put, we struggle with consistency and effort, particularly early in the season. Again.
I'm happy that you're happy, but hoping for an elimination final win on the back of a prelim, in the coach's 6th season with unprecedented football department resources and recruitment which suggests having a flag tilt, doesn't convince me we have the right man.
