Leaving aside my reservations about the article, I put to you, my learned colleagues, some points for your consideration :
1. after the debacle of 2012, where it was decided that Malthouse could put the finishing touches on the work done by Ratten (touches that Ratten himself was supposedly unable to produce), that in fact the club is delusional and knows sh1t about what it takes to be a finals club, and has once again, just like 2012-15, overestimated either list or coach, or possibly both. And has taken fans along for the ride.
2. Too early to call, and after stumbling as we walk onto the stage, we then recompose ourselves and play finals this season.
3. the club is perfectly aware that it has tried to prematurely force the finals narrative to give hope and sell memberships, knowing full well that is was a long shot this season.
Without knowing the intrigues guiding the decisions of the club, I'm sure most supporters would be evenly divided between points 1 and 2.
