Good weekend, maybe you guys can line up for the water slides down the road.
The season has been a success.
Guys like Schofield and Brown have now cemented their spots.
Cripps is twice the player he was this time last year
Darling coming along nice
Sheppard has learnt to run lines
Lycett is now a gun and retained
Shuey and Gaff have started to learn to be consistent
EMAC is a shoe in for AA FB
Priddis is being talked about in same breath as Brownlow
Masten had his most consistent season
Hurn established himself as the competitions elite HB and we have found our next leader
We got games into the kids
Sheed has benefited from extended game time
We got to send Glass and Cox off as well as we could and have developed ample replacements
We contained our injuries better than previous years
and looked to have finally a game plan in place that seems to be taken to the second half of the year
We got close in a derby
We were hardly flogged
Tell me youre all a lot happier than if none of things happened and we finished 14th?

Fully agree. It has been a successful season. Still hurts that we won't play finals though, and will likely hurt all throughout the summer.
The bolded ones are questionable. We made some improvements on the backend of the season during a flatspot in our schedule. It remains to be seen whether those improvements carry into next year. We need to play better while the pressure is on early in the season.

After ranting and raving at my poor family, I've been banished to the study. Damn the Swans for losing, tomorrows dead rudder is going to leave a very bad taste come Monday
I rate schofield but id suggest with waters back in e team next year that he will be the one to make way for him.
Then again waters will have an ingrown eyelash break off and he will need surgery 4 weeks later - so watch this space.

Still too many 'what ifs' for my liking by I agree with the general sentiment. Looking forward to 2015, that's for sure!
Masten was pretty ordinary most of this season in my opinion.

Standards really have slipped with this once great club.
Masten has played a better season than this.
Cripps always has had ability and traits we serious lack such as leg speed.
I'm not sure we've managed injuries that well either. Scooter and his ankle (injured in round 3/4, played 2 more months and hasn't had any surgery yet) NicNat (still isn't fit) Shuey (has definately had hammy problems) Masten (still has his quad strapped after some underwhelming form in the middle).
Hurn still needs to get involved more when getting a hard tag.

I suspect many WC fans are feeling the same as many Crows fans - borderline happy we didn't make it otherwise huge cracks get papered over because of OMG EIGHTH.

they were never bottom of the ladder. At the very worst they were 12th.
I spoke up a few weeks about this very thread. I would of preferred to go the pick instead of the finals. Whats the point of making 8th just to get smashed?
You can bet people would of said 'we are on the right track' because we made the finals. Now there is no excuse.

For such a well off club I'm surprised our recruiting is so bad, I'm surprised with how laid back everyone seems to be, apparently not beating a finallist in two years means nothing, etc.

Following some process time and four glasses of wine I now agree with this. This year overall has been a success, and although we aren't in finals calculations this year I can just feel that we are actually going forwards with Simmo and that if we build off this year we can push for finals next year
Bring on 2015 I say!
