We probably would have gone further in the finals had the finals system at the time not worked against when we lost to Geelong..plus Geelong targeted a couple of our key players with heavy knocks. I've got no problems with Sheldon or even Alves as coaches etc..I think its a pity the board then let the tail wag the dog and didn't show 100% faith in those two in their times as coach. Nuff said, lets look forward to 2008.
we would have won a premiership in 1997.....if sheldon and hudson weren't after the quick fix and got rid of players like fletcher and kickett......they also flowered greig......yep ..he can coach...but what does he know about player contracts......he is a blue at heart./..and always will be.....
