    The original 5 year plan

    Did anyone ever see it it? Did it have a bloody great trough right in the middle?

    I don't know who was privy but I do remember a promise of ups and downs. There was also a mention of exciting football as well though....

      Maybe it was the reverse J-curve a la treasurer Keating?

          You know, I seem to get the impression that some of the posters on this board are just ever-so-slightly disappointed with the way the Swans five games this year have gone.

          Just a feeling.

            What ever gave you that idea?
            And the man who started it, the Schneiderman, can kick his third for the quarter. And the swans are in the Grand Final!

              Call it a hunch. I'm probably WAY off.....

                Maybe the plan involves priority draft picks in 2005, in which case the 4th quarter against Brisbane most certainly didn't go to plan

                  Probably not. But it probably didn't have a bloody big peak right at the start either!!

                    I suppose the irony is if Roos didn't do well when he took over the Swans would have got better draft picks but Roos wouldn't have got the job.
                    I stiil have faith in Roos.The bloke isn't stupid.

                        It may just be my bad memory, but I could've sworn it was a three year plan??? So if this were right it would mean....

                          It was a five year plan, with goals of finding out a bit about the players and possibly drafting kids with lowish picks for a couple of years and then starting to be in a position to challenge for the flag in the 3rd year.

                          All went horribly wrong in 2003!

                            Nah, it was definitely a 5 year plan!! So roll on 2007. McV might get more than 20mins game time by then!!!!

                              So it was the recession we had to have - needed the trough to even out the peak!
