To be honest
“It was very, very difficult to see where we were going to lose a game,
I couldn't see it. I’m an optimist. I looked at them and thought: ‘Gee, they’re a good bunch of kids’, I love them and I reckon they can get the best out of themselves and we can have a damn good year.
The most important thing was that people said that they had a crack at it. .”
;D
......Well maybe not that optimistic
But Jones and Jaksch (former first rounder) came with positive wraps. The draft turned out to be a disaster but we didn't know that at the start of the year and thought we may have picked up some good youngsters. While not as positive as Mick I thought finals were a chance...But I think finals are a chance every year. I am an optimist.
We'd had a down year in 2014 but the disaster of 2015 was pretty much of our own making by declaring a rebuild a few rounds in and further complicated by the loss of our Coach and more importantly our Captain.
It was a WTF are they thinking... writing a season off a few rounds in.
