We spent all of one season reasonably challenging for top 4 (2011) and in that season there were signs we were not quite up to it and we finished 5th.
We were 5 and 1 in 2012.
Our results over a longer period of time indicate that the football club was building towards that period and then during that period failed to get the future planning part of that equation correct.
This explains why we are finishing where we are over the last 5 years. We thought a handful of first round picks would save the club last time and some of our fans are behaving the same way now and that's why they want the coach sacked.
In reality it's much bigger than one coach. It's the inability to stay the course on a 5 year plan for starters.
The club still had a far more successful period under Ratten, so you have to say moving Pagan on was a success.
