The Other Dean
Slack Motherf*cker
Honestly can't see where improvement comes from.
I can - schizophrenia.
The GWS game, the second half against the Aints, and our Last Quarter cameo against the Hawks show that our best footy is comfortably good enough. But we're a side that is developing and maturing under a new coach, and that still has a few chinks in its armour personnel-wise, including a few young blokes that need more time/games. As a consequence, inconsistency is our current lot. We will click, but only intermittently. It sucks, but that's just where we're at right now.
Which means we could just as easily come out this week and smash Western.
Either way, in terms of performance, this year will have its good and its shithouse. Important for supporters to ride some of those bumps and not be too reactive from week to week.
Keep the faith, Hoj. This year mightn't deliver any great success, but IMO there's plenty of good footy ahead for us.
