Yes im part of Saint Pauls and at no time did any of the coaching staff say we WILL make a Grand Final. Like most clubs obviously this was the goal at the start of the year but there is a difference between setting goals and saying you will definitely achieve something. Although from the looks of your spelling and grammar I wouldn't be surprised if you fail to grasp this concept.
Looking at our results last year??? We were competitive? Surely you’re just trolling?
Last year was one of if not the worst year I’ve seen from Saint Paul’s both on and off the field. The club didn’t even make finals, had a very disappointing 9w/9L record and the players seemed disinterested for various reasons including last years A grade coaching staff.
This year the new coaching staff has completely turned the club around and got it back on its feet. The club finished the season with 14W/4L and made a semi final after winning their first ever finals game since 2003.
So lets get this straight you consider finishing 4th and winning a finals game ‘a bit behind football’ but you consider missing the finals ‘very competitive’
So the SP coach lacks those moves to win a game? Did you read the part where Saint Paul’s finished 14-4? Obviously we’re not going to win every game and if you came to myself or anyone from Saint Paul’s at the beginning of the year and said we would have this type of season after the debacle last year we would take it every day of the week.
If you really have had any involvement with Saint Paul’s you would know that this year has been an amazing success for the club and have put us in a great position to try and go one step further next year. After the failure which was 2008 I think you should be praising the new coaching staff, not having a go at them…..unless of course its some sort of sour grapes?
and how did last years coaching staff go this year in their new jobs
