No way he could have failed? The team that beat us to the title had a playing budget at least twice as high as us? So with that in mind we should have been nowhere near them but we were and then there was the small challenge of getting through the playoffs.
I agree anything less than top 3 would have been underwhelming but we were 25 ish points in front of Chesterfield?? That’s some transformation to me.

We had lost Wooton and Roberts, Macca was outstanding, Jones wasn’t quite there until the end of the season building his fitness and the other guys did well who came in but he changed the whole mindset of the team, we lacked intensity under IB, LW installed it and especially off the ball.
