This thread reminds me of a little kid who's going to run away from home because he can't watch his favourite tv show.
Was half the team garbage when we were blitzing teams for most of the season? We lost a final to the top ranked side on their home ground. Get over it.
What did the Bulldogs do last year when they went out in the first week of finals. Change the whole list and sack the coaching staff? No, they brought in 1 player from another club at little cost - Suckling - went to the draft and backed their talented kids to improve.
What about Sydney when they went out in straight sets? They delisted one player (then re-rookied him) bought in Sinclair and Talia at little cost and went to the draft. Backed their talented kids to improve.
GWS when they finished 11th? Bought in Stevie J and Dawson Simpson at little cost, went to the draft and backed their talented kids to improve.
See a pattern forming here? Geelong is the point of difference but their ageing list meant they only get one crack at it for a couple of years. They know the trouble they're in after that.
Let's recognise we have a good talented list, hang onto our early draft picks and challenge for a flag next year.
Not sook and whinge and throw the toys out of the cot.
Seems to me we have more pointedly backed the serial and aged nonperformers rather than back our talented kids.
