In answer to BC's question I would think there would have to be a significant improvement in 2017 for Harding to be assured of continuity in the role. I do think he has his strengths but he has been coach for 7 years now and there may be an element of players switching off a bit because they are so accustomed to the message coming from the same source. As a supporter I would consider 8 wins and being in the running for finals for much of the season as a pass mark, given how far they fell last year.

I think the first kpi would be that we are competitive in most matches. It will take time for our players come back to gel together. The first match against Perth will set the standard and what we can expect for the rest of the season.

For the record Cary is only 1/3 the player he was last year: he had 23 on his jumper on Saturday and I thought he showed that he could be a focal point for us up forward. I also thought Rogers showed good intensity up forward.

Probably the highlight was the mark by Bennell just in front of the Macca Stand.

being competitive and improving performances are subjective...I'd imagine your board and/or CEO would come up with a win/loss ratio which must be achieved to keep his job...dunno.

We were struggling to kick 6-8 goals in most matches last year. If there was a repeat of that his year Harding's position would be very tenuous.

As I have previously posted and even though it will take time to get all players to gel together the first game is an absolute imperative.

"Stop bowling Pies" Ellard will be handy for us and seem to bring his own rent a crowd along with him to the game...Levi Ridley looks a much better prospect now ...rogers played with intensity I didn't see all last year haha only attended a cupla games...must say I was impressed with both the Manton boys in the magoos...Gault presented well and really liked the look of #13 name escapes me right now who seems to have made the jump from colts better than most. Repeating some other comments here which probably means they are about on the money

Taryce Stewart #13 DW?

Yes it was.

I won't get in to any debate on here about the coaches position but I will say it is high time the club lifted its rating as last year was a complete disaster and another similar one will not be tolerated...this comp desperately needs a strong Swan Districts FC.

Early day yet but the club has certainly made a move in the right direction with its heavy recruiting. Also why not just say the supporters desperately need a strong Swan Districts, saying the comp needs a strong Swan Districts is a touch arrogant don't you think.

Anyone who witnessed the scenes after the 2010 GF and all of the media coverage afterwards would agree the WAFL needs more and more of that...as opposed to Subis continual success that has seen the WAFL interest go backwards at a rate of knots to the general football public.
What number nom de plume is this one "Heater" -19?

Ha Ha I had to Google that and I'm still none the wiser, we'll just agree to disagree. Fair bump, play on.

Hi Outer, welcome back to Ozfooty, wonder how long you will last this time?
