Goals or points?
Good post! I agree with you. But I still expect a winWe’ve gone from being absolutely belted, to not even close to winning a quarter, to winning one quarter, to winning 2 quarters, to dominating 2 quarters and holding on.
We are seeing slow and patient improvement. Some of our depth players are starting to get some momentum.
If our process is clear, strict and we have a clear plan, that’s way better than being a “flash in a pan” kinda team. Patience without steering away from the plan is going to hold us in good stead for the future.
If we are getting the same consistent message whilst learning and when we do win, it will distill a huge amount of confidence in our coach and what he wants us to do. We will believe in the plan and we know it works.
I want a win for the confidence and morale.
It's important for our young guys to get a taste for winning so they can strive harder to get that feeling again.
It may not happen consistently this season, but it would be utterly demoralising if we went the whole season without a win as much as we want pick 1.
You can see that we are progressing and improving week on week - I think this is our best chance with the pies a shambles.
nice to see you've found another soundbite to repeat foreverFolks just can't get enough of "we're not focused on winning".

It's not as if it's difficult to rise above historical all time lows.
Has to be a lot of pain before success.....

No mate, that's horse sh*t.
But we were sh*t, and been sh*t for years.
We had the wrong coaches, staff, players, management. We’re starting out fresh. We would be kidding ourselves if it’s going to be fixed in quarter of a season
...but now it's right & you're certain of that?
no-one can be certain, but you cant judge off of 7 games and 1 preseason. What we are certain that the what was done before didnt work so lets try a fresh....but now it's right & you're certain of that?

And lets not forget, we keep getting bags of goals kicked against us. 10, 6, a few 4's and lots of 3. Why, because we are missing Taz, Corr and LMac in defense. Our 3 most experienced defenders out have left us with a completely in experienced backline.
nah mate, more like watchin a clown. at times hilarious, and at other times just sadHey, someone has to give you a purpose in life.

Nah. I don’t think anyone can be 100% certain? But I’m happy with this strategy. I can see the slow build. I can see the momentum and confidence building.
Another pre-season under a hopefully new fitness program, healthier list, watch out 2022.
