Disco,
Having seen my expectations hosed down on more then several occasions I'll be somewhat muted in my optimism but I will say this, bringing in Wallace has been a positive and I sense that the club is cleaning the decks for a full assault in 2007 and beyond. This year, whilst not a write off, will see some good football played in the second half of the year and players who have been in the system for a few years will start to show some real promise, and guys like Hughes, JON and Meyer will begin something of a steep learning curve. You may be wondering why I feel now is different to any other year? The answer to that is Wallace knows where the game is headed and has formulated his team to adapt to the changing pace of football. He's probably short a key position player or two but hopefully this will be resolved with the next draft - if we are lucky enough to secure a ready made player such as Hansen or Sellar then the whole complexion of our side changes significantly. I'm willing to put myself out on a limb and say that we will be ultra competitive in the second half of this season and will press for finals next year (I'm also willing to admit I'm wrong, something of which others are incapable of).
