Geelong were 4th up until this round of matches.
Tell me you haven't picked the week they slipped out of the top 4 to post that list. ::)
They're still one game away from 4th.

I was responded to a comment shawny made.

Did i hack into his account and post the question just so i could answer it this week??
You borrowed LPs tin foil hat??

I didn't know the figures would shape out that way.
As you saw from my mistake with posting figures, i made it up on the spot....apparantly too quickly to check if it was right!

So i'm sorry if this week is different to last week, and maybe next week, but i had nothing to do with it.

It looks poor.

I get that folks aren't entirely happy with the way things have panned out with regard to the coaching situation.
But it comes across as pretty petty that we're going out of our way to point out the quality of opposition.

We're well aware of who we've beaten, and who we face and the difficulty in maintaining a winning streak.
If we're crediting Voss with some influence in the 'wins' does that contribution get abandoned if things go pear shaped.
No, it's all part of the journey and progress.

Teams have ebbs and flows through a season.
Injuries sometimes (often) play a part in results.
Had we had Weitering and Dean yesterday the result may have been more clear cut.
By the same token we've probably had a win or two when the opposition have had players out.

The other bit of nonsense is this "Sack coach" rubbish that gets a mention whenever a team gets a run on.
It was funny the first time.
It's ridiculous now.
We were getting runs against us every week
It's happening far less now.

Very few (almost none) of us think we have a flag side.
Even a top 6-8 side.
We're a middle of the road side.
That's reflected in our results.

Most have acknolwedged Voss's contribution...but he has a new job now.
It's time to let it go.
I'd like to see us make finals but I really won't be too distressed if it doesn't happen this year.
We're a bit in limbo without a full time coach.
Game plans and players could be significantly different next year.
But at the moment we're winning games we should win, and picking up a couple we weren't expected to win....why can't we enjoy that while it lasts.
