Considering Voss got blamed for every loss including ladder leaders Fremantle and Sydney we should win every game now.

So far we have !

We were 1 win 8 losses and every week we listened to excuses about the list, how its gone backwards with losing charlie losing tdk losing jack we all had to be patient and extend poor Voss contract he needs more time…

Now we are hearing the 4 wins were lucky wins that Voss would have got and our gameplan changes are all Voss work as well.

But when we lose it will see i told ya Voss wasnt the problem.
youre paraphrasing.

Imho the extension of the coach may have been the pressure release that sacking him did.

We will never know.

is it?

Spin?  Really? I stated some facts your opinion of them seems to vary based on the W/L result.
What else is it. Essendon game made my eyes bleed admittedly, but the other 3 wins, especially Geelong. Dogs is always a decent win, shouldn't be winning that if we were a true 1-8 bottom side, Port in Adelaide are just ok but it was in Adelaide and we pumped them, remembering too they hammered Geelong there. Shouldn't be winning there as a 1-8 bottom side; and the Geelong win was brilliant. shouldn't get within 10 goals as a 1.8 bottom side. Hang on, we must have underachieved the first 9 games.
 
You stated you facts and it is utter spin trying to defend the indefensible. What else do you go by other than the W/L record compared to ability. You think they play for fun? Seriously?!!! Suddenly 1-8 didn't matter? As we saw last 4 weeks we sadly underachieved severely in the first 9 games and it likely cost us come September. Anyway, keep spinning if it makes you sleep better at night. Couldn't believe your post.



The king of spin yourself. The results change and all of a sudden one guy in the coaching panel is the variance.

Its not about feeling better, I know what ive seen.  A side in a winning position every week on the improve finally getting reward for effort.

I havent even seen the bombers game as im abroad.

Ultimately, I didnt see much between say the Brisbane game and the geelong game to say that anything definitive is different.

Let's see how the season pans out, you cant do a lot in 4 weeks.  All thats changed is the weight of expectation.

Very clever attempt at spin. Not successful but at least you tried.
is it?

The calibre of opponent played under Fraser vs voss is being ignored way too easily.

We got the dogs on a good week, and have beaten geelong whom voss has had a good run against.  The other 2 wins against Port and essendon are unremarkable.
