Basically short term thinking

Jones is getting his results going toe to toe with opposition
Basically long term thinking

To say Miller had a hard gig is a massive over statement.

The two easiest gigs in the HAL recently are Millertime taking over after Muppet was here and Okon taking over at Gypos from Walmsley.

Basically expectation is low and being semi competitive and getting the occasional win keeps the plebs happy

What Jones has done is take a shit side and go about changing the mentality of the squad. We are now having a go and not playing like cowards like we have for the last 8 years.

We ain't getting the results right now. But we are going to be getting them in the future.

On most days Perth would have beaten us. That being said in future we will have the confidence and the ability to carve them up and beat them.


If you want to compare the two blokes I point something out to you right now.

This year we are a legitimate playoff prospect. Whether we get there or not isn't the issue. We are a legitimate chance as the way we play will see us pick up points as the season progresses.

Last year under Miller we were never a realistic chance of making the playoffs. Sure as shit the club talked about it as they usually do nut noone actually believed them.


This year they have people starting to believe in them.
We could also look at it like this.


Miller came in, when we had conceded the most amount of goals in our history and wanted to sort out and strengthen our defense. Which lead to us lacking in the final third (as we still do now).

Jones has come in after Miller has done all the hard work, working on the defense, which now allows him to focus more on the midfield and final third (which is still lacking, but is better overall).

Miller did all the hard work, with no cash, copped all the shit for it, but is the only reason we're in the position we are now.
