ive heard a few people saying if we get in the 8 he should be the coach of the year
I think it was first bought up on one of the footy shows.
The reason was:
* The turn around. - (from the last couple of years)
* The self belief that the players now show.
* Achieving his main goal (top 8).
* Boosting Club moral.
They were some of the things the were discussed, probably a few more as well.
