If anyone would have told me 12 months, we would have had our players willies all over the media, a bogus school girl scandal, a pre-season training camp incident in NZ, then won 1 out of the first 7 games, but still made the finals - only to have our coach walk out with 1 year on his contract remaining and accept a coaching offer from Freo who werent even in the market for a coach, .... well I reckon I would have given you 100 to 1 on that.
So no - I wont be surprised if the person who gets the job is a name that isnt even currenlty being discussed.
2011, the funniest season I can recall.
Gehrig emerged from scans yesterday saying he was "as sweet as a bun"
he'll be here after going back to back he said
said he couldnt help bucks any more than he already has and that if he isnt ready thats his fault for being a dumbass.

dont think we would put together such a comprehensive selection panel to rubber stamp someone. i would say the job is wide open and will any decision weeks away.
Panels are to appease the media and supporters. Who gives a stuff what most of those people think?
Well if that's the case we should have picked a more half assed panel then. Can't imagine all these people on the panel are just wanting to waste their time as part of the charade.
You woulld think they would at least want to talk to scott watters first. I think he as good a chance as anyone but no way he can be over the line.
And melbourne hardly bothered with a panel. they just relied on gary lyon 'eyeballing him'. So I think we are genuinely going to have an open and full interview process. Especially now we are the only club left looking. No need for us to rush it now.
