Do you not remember sacking:

Laidler
Robinson
Garlett
Waite walking

Replacing them with tutt and Jones, Jaksch, Whiley,  boekhorst.

Yep.

Those replacements looked pretty good to a lot of people 4 years ago.
I would have done most of those swaps...at the time!

Laidler was playing playing fairly average football for us but a few thought he was hard done by.while he had some support not many were very upset by him going.
For me it wasn't a great loss
Robinson and Garlett had proven to be undisciplined and were regarded as just good average players at best.
...and Waite was either injured or suspended.

Of the incoming all were sold as having the ability to offer something, except perhaps Tutt.
As it turned out we were disappointed.

Hindsight is a terrific thing

Now plenty of doubters in this lot but also quite a few pointing out positive aspects...

So at the time it was pretty much like for like with our wins and losses....but with hindsight maybe not :
