Geelong 2000-2006 - up and down like a yo-yo
Pies - 2012 -2017 - backwards for 6 seasons, despite a fantastic midfield
Tigers - bundled out in 3 consecutive EF's (13,14,15), then 13th in 2016.
W/L are only a part of a much bigger puzzle. We need to learn from the smart, professional clubs.
Tell me your not comparing those sides, a couple of competitive sides that made finals to our 20% winning record in the 4th year? Richmond started down the bottom and played finals within 4 years, did it 3 years in a row, had a bad year and won a flag. Geelong were regular finalists, Collingwood were still very competitive even if they should've done better. We're 4th year in, 20% winning record, 16 wins in that time, 12 of those in the first year and a half. Won 4 from 40 and 1 from 7 this year and some think we have gone ok although we lost to the Swans, GC, and North, thrashed by the latter who were bottom.
Has there been a coach with a worse record 4th year in?
