What is a concern is that relative to the rest of the teams, we may not have improved at all from '05.

Not in terms of results but we have blooded some very promising youngsters this year.

They will be stronger next year.

Our only disgrace has been losing to hawthorn. They've got two really big losing streaks either side of beating us.

100 point floggings are a disgrace no matter who they're against. 3 in a season (so far) is very concerning.

Rosy, I reckon your right there. Here's the nub. We had a crap season last year. In 2006 we are getting flogged to death, with the occasional good win. How many more years do we give the Sunlamp Kid before we decide he is Spud II? I mean, if we have another crap year next year, surely the heat will be on?

Whoa there fanged one!! Let's not start in on the coach!! Had enough of that sort of talk when Spud was there. In his case justified, due to inability to put a proper game plan into operation. We must, I repeat must, give TW every chance. Any talk of heat on him is way too premature.

In answer to that tigerfang

look through the AFL site and find the draft section

Look at the period of recruiting under Frawley and then compare it to the last two seasons.

Wallace won 10 games in his first season compared to Frawley's 11

furthermore wallace will probably win 11 games in his second season compared to Frawley's 15

Both times not as good as Frawley

But I guarantee you here and now (bookmark if you like)
that Wallace's team will exceed Frawley's third and fourth seasons (7 wins each)

and that Wallace's team will exceed Frawley's fifth and final season (4 wins)

Finally i predict wallace will get a 6th season
