Only 1 win ahead now and we are playing pretty well...
1 win plus %
Not sure about the playing pretty well bit. Struggled against the worst side in the comp at home, on todays performance you wouldnt of beaten anyone else but us. I think we have 1-2 wins tops left in us, you guys probably the same. Might come down to %. We were ok for about 2 and a half quarters against a very good Hawks side and starting to get a few guys back from injury. A similar effort to yesterday may snare us a win or two. Id still have both of us pencilled in for bottom 4 though, depends who wants the better draft pick
Yep and despite Barker's efforts, he may put the cue in the rack at the behest of the club now. I read that we're after Carlisle, which I think is needed (a big swing man) but at what cost? Judd's retirement will open up salary cap space but hopefully we're not stupid enough to give up too much/any kids/any talent like we have in the past.
I don't mind if we lose most games from here in. My point has been proven and the club has rectified it's mistake from the previous three years by moving on Mick. We're on the way up now, as long as don't try and bring in an "old" head again, I can see a bright-ish future. As long as we keep progressing, that's all I'm worried about. Not getting flogged by 100 points every week will do that ;-)
