I would hate to see where we are without him playing for us. We wouldn't have 16 wins if wasn't playing the way he has for us.

That run tightened the game up. We were trying to speed up the game rather than slow it down. We weren't setting up and shooting the ball on one pass.

I think the early bullpen injuries really threw us out of sync, ... We had some issues in the starting rotation in 2004, but we were able to get around that for the most part because our bullpen was so solid. But this year, we didn't have that same thing going for us.

It's never been an issue with us.

John has been a great coach for our club, taking us to a premiership and falling only one game short of a second grand final.

Give us one person to go to, one person in charge, and we'll go to them and meet the standards. There should be a uniform standard.
