Hi Every one hope you are all well. I have been scrolling thru this thread for a few weeks wow. Up and down and all around we have gone. The club, Blair, rich, and Dim need to to do this and that and have no Idea and the club is FK if we don't get the d oozy. Well the only inside info I have is trade starts tomorrow thank God.
First if no one is signed tomorrow by our club remember we have 2 weeks to go, Rome was not built in a day.

For those who dont believe we have gone any where under the current management and coaching, please point out in the last 30yrs where we have made the finals 3yrs in a row. Before you howl me down I am not happy that we have lost the first final every year.
Ive seen every GF except 1980 live and I crave that again. I crave that success of continuous finals and hopefully the GF over the comming years. This club has built a solid foundation in players to take us there. Just think 2 games. The 2nd against freo from poor houli decision cost us a win. the other game against melb was one of the real bullshit disasters we should have not lost. We would have been on top of the ladder. Although it does not really mean a lot unless you can win finals just sit back and think about this list that nearly got us to the top.

For me even if we don't bring in that a grader we have a huge upside that we will not allow us to slide. We have drafted over the years a number of players to be leaders as well as being capable players. Do you think these types of players are going to accept the last couple of years and not push hard to improve. Not on your Life. Martin has still a huge uplift in my opinion, I think he will look at this year and say i can do better. Can you imagine that.

Cotchin for me was not his best footy as a player. I feel listening to him at times his focus was on the players and playling the captains roll.
I think in 2016 we will see him focus a bit more on his football roll as he will see he now has a playing group and leadership group going in the same direction. I will put Martin and Cotch to fight out the BF and that is not taking away from the big improvements from other players.

I dont believe we will get big name players but will be happy with strong quality depth that pushes every one to strive better. I believe that is also a key the pushing each other to do better by wanting to be selected. We are not rubbish we are a club that is still on the rise and we do have a strong list. that has huge potential to improve and take us to the next step.
To win the GF in2016 or 2017 it would be great to get that a grader. Although if it dosen't happen as stated above by getting upgrade's I see our young list coming thru being strong enough to take us there.
Just sing our song and believe. As I said above Rome was not built in a day

Bring on trade week from tomorrow till then every one sleep well
