Potentially....but our previous one...

...was long gone.

The list position we found ourselves in was a combination of the efforts of both.
You can't have one without the other.
And two injury hit and disrupted seasons later you want the one left gone.

Crash mentioned 2002 but there was another injury hit season in 2014 when many of our best players including Judd and Kreuzer missed big chunks....and Robinson and Garlett went off the rails.
The brains trust at the time decided we needed a rebuild and the incoming list manager cut the list and sent the club into oblivion.

Hang on, we can't judge the current crop for years, but we can give them kudos for piggybacking on the previous guys efforts within a couple years??

Geez these goal posts are moving so often i don't even know which way i'm kicking now!

From a previous list....these players were NOT SOS's from 2023.....

Hewett
Saad
Cerra
Acres
Docherty - Before SOS
Cripps - Before SOS
O. Hollands
Motlop
Jordan Boyd
Cincotta

From that list, 2 are not by either.
1 is already delisted
2 are on the outs (Boyd and Acres)
...and Motlop was rumoured to be on the way out to PA this past trade period (Durdin got booted instead).

So yeah, SOS's team.

You can't have it both ways.
You can't say 2023 is SOS's team and then in the next breath say Austin has had six years.
The only one moving  goal posts around is your good self. ::)

All list managers build on their predecessors list to some extent.
Cripps and Docherty were part of that for Silvagni so was Ed Curnow
You can't just dismiss the players that Austin added for 2023.
And the real fruits of Austin's tenure are yet to hit their peak.

So are you saying our list manager had built a side capable of winning a flag :D  :D

Potentially....but our previous one...
cant praise sos and condemn Austin when Saad, acres and cerra were the needle movers for us in 2023 and all of them were brought in by Austin. Could argue Hewett as well but we'll call him a dead heat with Kennedy.

They all had nothing to do with sos.

You can follow any rules you like to make up. ;)
I don't control your posting.

But it's all pretty futile
You're not going to change my mind
I'm not going to change yours

I think we've both exhausted any arguments.
We seem to go over the same points over and over....across a number of threads
I'm not convinced by any of your arguments, although I can see the points you're trying to make.
I just don't agree with them.
I just see them as worst case.
With little regard given to the issues that have impacted the club's performance the last two years.
You're obviously not convinced by any of mine.

You think we'll be worse
I think we'll be the same or better

Injuries will play a part.
Depth will play a part.
Luck will play a part.
Development of young players will play a part.
How we cover our losses will play a part.
How the new players gel will play a part.
Off field issues may play a part.

There are enough variables there that either one of us could end up right.
So it's over to the players to determine the outcome.
