And, as infrequent as it was, we were a better team with Hannebery in it.
Stocker is a clear upgrade on Geary, not that he played last season.
Caminiti is still very young and, if we were at full fitness, wouldn't be in our starting 22.
The Pou is special. But ideally would have some time at Sandy learning the craft.
The draw is much better...Although if we dish performances like the one against Hawthorn, it won't matter.
Port Adelaide are exposing our form

The first half draw we had last year was soft too and it showed
I’d also argue the list Lyon has actually had at his disposal is far less than what Ratten had to put up with …but that gets left out often
Anyway we’ll see but coaching changes are done at Saints for a while so like it or not Lyons not going anywhere
Some so called senior experienced players on other hand..

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
So we agree
It’s the list that is the most important factor?!

I never thought that was in doubt?
I do think your assertion coach makes no difference was silly.

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
I never said that
I said coaches are defined by their list and/or injuries
They can have influence in two ways
Setting culture standards
Game day tactics
But none of that matters a fk without talent
We’ve seen many a master premiership coach fail at flailing teams
Barassi, Barassi, Jeans, Pagan, Sheedy, Malthouse, Simpson
They didn’t change - their most important resources did

Re: Port Adelaide are exposing our form
The are overrated - by people with no idea
They have their place and have some importance
But don’t matter a fk without talent
Talent can win with any coach
Lack of talent can’t win regardless of the coach
