That thinking put us in this mess.
The culture of the club that we dont rebuild or embrace the draft put us in this mess......when the form 4 disappeared so did we.....

Really good food for thought in some of these posts. Idk if the term "honeymoon period" really fits the bill here. No matter where we are as a club all of us have certain expectations and those expectations change with time based where we are as a club. Whether they fall in or outside this honeymoon period doesn't seem absolutely relevant to me.
All of us as supporters and members are looking from the outside in, and we all have a grasp of the propaganda coming out from the club. Our own opinions are based on what we hear or don't hear really sets our own expectations. I think setting a "bar" then going for it really is a flawed scenario as well.
For me personally there will never be a honeymoon period or a grace period, it just doesn't sit right. From day dot to infinity and beyond I just expect the Club as a whole to get better. I guess then the honey moon period finished in 1864.

Clarkson had one more win only than Bolton at the same stage....its a fair point Jim makes remembering Hawthorn were a basket case when Clarkson took over.
Saints record when Pelchen traded out everything was also poor....bottom, 4th bottom and bottom again, taken them a while to rebuild and move up the ladder.....one bad loss to Port and we are questioning the coach who we have to remember is also learning his craft and tactically etc is a novice...

True.
I've backed them in for bringing in the kids reasonably quickly and it will be interesting to see if they think they had a few too many kids in.
I've got no problem even if they think it was a mistake, it happens, there's no hard and fast rules . We have to know what the tipping point is.
My feeling is a few more mature bodies this week.

I watched On the couch and Healy bought up our list of inexperienced kids.
He said it may be dangerous bringing in too many at once.
Dunstall disagreed saying, just get games into them.
Effectively sink or swim.
Was interesting Monday night after Melbourne lost everyone on fox sympathied saying they were short a ruckman etc and Dunstall said they just need to find a way to win these games.

I am still in love. Come on we talk about playing kids and when they lose we are surprised. Supporters support we have been told what they are going to do (Bolton etc) and they are doing it they told us there would be bumps and guess what. A loss to port in Sa in a season we will finish bottom three who cares ... they are not going to win a flag so they can run around enjoying the victory we blooded a group of players who will be better for it.

We'll know their thinking soon enough.
