12-10 is nothing to applaud, especially considering our percentage. Also, we definitely don't have a young list. Our salary cap is busting already. That's about as average and middle of the road as it gets. Let's look at our wins:I really hope we dont sack him. Woosh has cleaned up an absoulute mess of a football club since he's arrived. He's gone 12-10 three years running with the one of the youngest lists in the comp coming off a drugs saga. Add to that long term injuries to key players 2 years in a row. He deserves to see out his contract.
3. Melbourne - Alright win, but defence was way too leaky
4. Brisbane - Impressive win
5. North Melbourne - Another impressive win
9. Fremantle - Uninspiring win.
11. Carlton - Bolton in his last game. I guess it was alright, but they only had one win under Bolton.
13. Hawthorn - Decent win. Should've been by more.
15. GWS - Very lucky to win this
16. Sydney - Did what we had to do, but largely unimpressive save for the last quarter
17. North - Very very lucky to win this
18. Adelaide - Good win, but we were s**t for a half. And as it turned out, Adelaide are a soft bunch.
19. Gold Coast - May as well have been a loss. Awful performance.
22. Fremantle - Decent win, but our midfield was totally smashed. No winning team ever lost the contested possession stat like we did.
Brisbane and GWS are the only top 8 sides we beat. The only really impressive wins were Brisbane, North in round 5 and Adelaide IMO.
Our losses:
1. GWS - Disgraceful
2. St Kilda - Disgraceful
6. Collingwood - Should have won this. Umps
7. Geelong - Beaten comfortably by a good side. Nothing to be ashamed about.
8. Sydney - Disgraceful. Though we were robbed, we shouldn't have allowed for it to get to that point
10. Richmond - Usual capitulation against a decimated Richmond side in the rain. Cleaned up the margin in the end.
14. West Coast - Destruction. Could have been 100 points.
20. Port - Disgraceful.
21. Bulldogs - Complete horror show. The worst loss I've ever witnessed.
23. Collingwood - Umps gifted Collingwood another one here. Rested a bunch of players so we were always up against it
If this is considered a good year, then it confirms how far we've fallen away as a football club. Our record is actually worse than last year despite making finals.
When our undersized midfielders can't kick and our ruckman can't compete around the ground, then Smith and Daniher won't make much difference.
Anyway, he should be gone only because he allowed us to start the way we did last year. That's enough reason.
