Nice Sedat
I think they have a right to question what we are doing and the approach we have taken, but the argument used to do it is poor

Interesting MJP. Doesn't this sound a bit like end of 1996?
It certainly sounds like the end of 2006 for Geelong. "Complete rebuild" they screamed. Mooney (a ruckman who was a dud forward apparently) and Ablett (regarded as brilliant but slightly lazy) really lifted.
Not comparing the two to Minson & Cooney, but anything could happen...

Not sure on this comparison, but we would all feel a bit more positive about our prospects if we had someone we had confidence in to fill the role as a tall forward for next season.
But as you and mjp have posted I think we should be quietly confident about our chances of rising up the ladder.
