Guerra seems to be the anointed one

For disasters.

Who is the fresh faced fella sitting to Ross' left in the box during the Carlton game? For a second I thought it was Matthew Stokes!

I think (or at least hope this). As you say, everything takes time and while I wish we had at least 1-2 wins out of our first 4 games, you can see that we are improving week by week in different areas (although round 1 is a complete write-off). Round 2 we attacked better, but turned it over or couldn't get our hands on it in the middle. Round 3 was weather permitting, but we were much better defensively and with Sandi going down our mids had to adapt better. Round 4 our mids got their hands on the ball and we looked a lot more fluid (at times) handpassing it through the guts to get a kick forward in to the 50 and on a forwards chest.

If by the bye (or even say, round 12) we haven't notched up at least 3-4 wins then I'd be maybe inclined to panic, but if we can get it all working gradually, our run home from the bye onwards actually isn't too bad in that we only travel 3 times in 8 rounds, though we face some stiff competition along the way

Before the bye I can see us having winnable games v Carlton, GWS, Richmond, Essendon, Brisbane, Port and Collingwood - and that's not being generous. If you look at who we have lost to so far as well, we have been beaten by an undefeated North (who we let have a massive 4 goal head start and could have won), West Coast (who we had on the ropes until Sandi went down and Fyfe turned it over before half-time - think "momentum killer") and Gold Coast (who we had our chances against). Bulldogs were incredible and I can't really find any real instances in that game that could indicate that we could have won.

Going in to the bye 7W 7L would be alright, given we have an okay run home in terms of travel load (we travel once in the last 5 rounds ffs)

Are you still so optimistic. How quickly things can change.

He usually has a stats taker next to him.

Cheers. I seem to remember Kirk sitting there last year, and Sumich before him. I was wondering if Webb was the new left-hand man.

Ross should get his ol' mate Paul Roos over to sort out his football department.

I wonder if they're learning The People's Elbow.

No but we are rock bottom at the moment sadly.
