What are your expectations for 2017?

[laj]

So did the club meet your expectations this year?
Perhaps a poll?

For mine, they met my prediction (14-16th in the predictions thread and 2-5 wins in this thread) and their game play in being in games late exceeded my predictions and to me...

The season has to be a FAIL. Unlike some others I don't think it is Bolton, his coaching the development of his gameplan. I think the list management did not cut heavy enough.

I think we ended up with the type of season we would have had (and say the bombers had last year), if we had gone for a massive cut, but it is done now.

I do believe in the the rebuild and i do think we are on our way, but I think the club failed us a little with list management.

Anyway, did the club perform to your EXPECTATIONS of where the clubs should be this year?

There is no way this year is a fail. You can only cut so much as there's only so many replacements. No issues with list management. We've taken on some average players but only as steak knives. As far as the draft has gone we have pretty much nailed it the last 2 years.

6 wins, 5 rising star nominations, 7 matches where we led in the last qtr and lost and we gave some top sides misery. The only game that really disappointed me this year was the Brisbane game when. after a couple of good games against good sides, we had a let down and didn't switch on. As for the game plan Bolton has followed previous successful methods in getting the defence strong before initiated a more attacking plan. We've learned to change up the course of a game when we've fallen behind early.

Given the circumstances of where we are at this year has been a narrow pass.
