The Dogs are average, and without Libba for a fair whack of the game.
We all know your stance on things.
But perhaps you should realise what other peoples stances are if you want to pick fights.
I was never pro-sacking of Bolton.
I realised after the Bombers game that 'something' had to happen. I actually said pre-sacking, that it was the biggest ground swell i've seen since the gold coast game (ala Rattens sacking). I had the same stance then. I didn't think sacking Ratten would fix anything, but 'something' had to happen and i understood it.
So with that out of the way....
I always believed that while we gave effort (under Bolton) that we were right on the cusp of turning things around for good. We've had so many close losses that its only a matter of time until one (or more) of those close games gets turned into a win.....and more wins.
So while i don't believe Bolton was the problem. I don't believe Teague is necessarily the answer. I do believe in the players we have and i do believe its only a matter of time until things turn around for good. Potentially as early as this year.
So why i don't celebrate a loss, i am buoyed by the fact that we showed we had a pair and gave effort....even though things didn't go our way early. We did NOT spit the dummy. We sucked it up and got on with it like big boys should.
