The Roos were always going to be a good chance of winning 2 of those games. The Richmond win was a good one though. How much of that was the change of coach factor? Not sure but you just have to look at the Blues on the weekend. That first week after changing is always a beauty.
We’ll see how the Roos are actually going over the next few weeks with GWS and the Pies.
If they get flogged in those games where do you stand then?
Spot on Klawdy. Let’s wait for a longer body of work before we declare the Roos booting Scott mid season a success. History tells us that the pressure cooker release on a club when a coach leaves mid year can result in improved performance.
This is not true. There were 2 clubs that were finals chances, us and the Hawks, and 2 clubs that weren’t, the Blues and Saints that were after Shiel. Finals has nothing to do with that trade. If a player like that is available at his age and you have the currency then you get him regardless of where you’re list is at. When the team does start playing finals, he’ll be a huge factor in how far they can go.
