It happens to the best, doesn't it? Bass started 0-4 a couple of years ago, didn't he?
Sure did but dont tell me you guys are not concerned even slightly, 6 losses in a row is unheard of for a long time up there. Not panic stations yet but must be some doubt creeping in.
All great era's come to an end eventually, a few years without success wont hurt
In all seriousness i dont think any team in any comp would 'like' a 0-3 start. In saying that its one of the better 0-3 starts i have ever seen with the only real disappointing performance being the one against North.
Imho the club had gone 'total rebuild' a tad to early especially in the first two games chucking all the young blokes under the pump in the one defence. That changed this week with the likes of Thommo, Collier and Goodrem playing as the permanent defenders.
To me at SANFL level you never need to go to the full rebuild stage as you are only ever 2-3 good recruits, a good mini draft selection, AFL selection and good injury run away from being around the mark. There a far to many variables trying to produce a team full of kids with the AFL draft, the lure of money in country/ammo league and the Paul Marshalls who just purely walk away from the game due to work, life, family reasons.
This week against Glenelg i dont care about improvement or trialling players for development. I dont want to hear we are an inexperienced young side trying hard running all day etc etc I want nothing but a win this week and i dont care how it comes.
