Caught some of the Geelong vs North game on Fox today. Made me think how Bomber has been re-building for 6 years now (with a better base then Dennis) and how lots of people wanted him sacked about 3 years ago because it took time to devlop the young Cats. Now they are getting the results of a long and difficult journey.

Thinking how people have been asking for Pagan's blood after last year. and probably will again this yeear.

I think people should look at the Cats and look at how long it took them with a better base then we had. Also makes me think that in 2-3 years things will be so much better.....

Agreed Mikey we are now only starting to see some kids emerge from there aprenticeship and take the next step up ... in 2-3 Years time there will be twice as many in that 22 - 27 year range all with 3-6 years under there belt.

Also i really believe the team has removed a lot of the disruptive issues that have plagued the club over the last couple of years like Anguin / Norman ... some of the old brigade not willing to adapt and change to the rebuild ... ie Allen /campo

All bodes well for the future also if you look at the players being drafted ie Benteck / Carrots / Murph and there prob a few others are all under 18 Capatins so somewhere there has been a decision to get more level headed players in the mix

we are 3 years in and lets see how this season unfolds next 3 weeks will give us an indication.

Also read somewhere that we have a new guy who does the running training who is a ex marathon runner and has been building up the players endurance but someone may be able to verify this
