I really get puzzled reading some of these posts. At the start of the season we all sit around in a TC 'circle' and we nod our collective heads and say things like: our talent is the worst in the league, we need to be patient, we don't want to win games because we'll miss out on draft picks, the most important thing is the development of our players, etc.
Then, when the season starts and we have a few losses, we start to say things like: we should be winning against opposition like Freo and the hawks cause they're beatable, guys like Russell and O'Hailpin should be having an impact by now, and we need to be teaching our kids to play attacking football.
What I'd like to know is this - what happens to the patience between the off-season and the real thing? Where does it magically disappear to?
