They're not lying, but understanding of timing is needed. The Stocker pick swap was in November (22nd or 23rd?), and at the time, expecting Docherty back, and a few other things, they were probably fair dinkum wrt a rise up the ladder, Nobody could foresee that in early December Doc would miss another season. Nobody could foresee that we'd lose a couple of games by less than a kick. As Carey said, winning or losing games by less than a goal is down to luck.
