last year just a lucky day or do we actually have ability? If it's the latter then TW should definately get his pink slip. He has lost the players and no amount of spinning will get it back.
 
More a case of we had more to gain than they did.

We beat a team that couldn't lose 2nd position, when we were fighting for a spot in the 8. They certainly didn't bring their "A" game. We capitalised on it.
 
It makes you wonder walhalla.  I don't think we're that much a better team than the Hawks, same as I don't think we're that much a worse team than Carlton.

It tends to support a view that we don't handle hype well and are mentally weak when things don't go our way. Our coaching staff appear incapable of dealing with it.

Hawks played in 2nd gear all day.

Spot on, although I wouldn't include Wayne Campbell in that group of coaches yet.

Having said that Wayne is yet to prove anything, with both of our elite midfielders - Deledio and Foley - having terrible games.

Not a good start for Campbo and all the other coaches have failed to deal with it for years, as you said.
