A bronze tan statute of Terry Wallace would also be appropriate. He taught us that there is no such thing as a messiah or a one-man show.

Who should take the credit?

Take credit for what? There's still a good chance we lose once again in the first week of finals given we'll likely to be playing North. Going to miss top 4 because of a couple poor losses earlier on the year and not taking our opportunities when Sydney were floundering.

being consistently in the top half of the ladder, consistently making finals, not stuffing up all our draft picks, consistently winning big games during the H&A, not paying overs for every recruit.
Gotta walk before you can crawl. The failure to understand that has been the reason for our perennial failure for 30 years.

Chris Newman for telling him to rack off.
But seriously, if you want to start handing out credit, it has to go to Hardwick. At 2-4, I confess I wanted him gone and I am as impressed by the turnaround as anyone.
If it had continued south from there it'd be him we'd be tearing strips off so he has to get the chocolates now that it's heading north.
CREDIT? the whole lot of them at the club have been solid..but ultimately its been benny gale and his vision and planning...6 years ago he spoke of the aims we needed to achieved before we had ongoing and substantial success...get outta 6 million dollar debt,start making profit..atrct 70,000 member..build embank training centre..stand alone vfl tiger team..and build a rock solid playing list form smart recruiting and trading rather than throwing big bucks at a few free agents....so far he has achieved all these goals and pretty close to the time frame he wanted to...benny with peggy oneil have been our best off field leaders in 40 years.....next step in his plan..3 grand finals
As others have said, until we win a final we've not achieved anything we didn't the last two years. The confidence levels are up - we definitely appear to be more mature than previous years. We need to beat North in Round 23 for me to feel like we've taken a step forward, and Geelong as well, should we face them again this year.
However just like when we're shocking, when we're good credit has to go to everyone. Players, coaches, support staff, recruiters, the management and the board. Let's see where we stand come the second week of October. Hopefully that statement will apply!

Semantics I know Gen, but (yes the dreaded but) although I agree winning a final is where we need to be at, 3 finals series in a row is more significant than nothing.
Winning our last two games, especially ridding ourself of the Nth voodoo will add to the significant improvements we have made this season; reaching another finals series, and beating 3 of the top 4 being important steps.
2 wins agin the scum and the cheats and hopefully the drug cheats also significant for our pleasure.

*smile*. We've gone from being perennial bums and a laughing stock, to competitive to top side with credibility. That is something. Its not a flag no. Would you rather be languishing at the bottom or looking threatening?
This whole 'we haven't done anything until we've won a flag' is *smile*. We all want to win a flag, but you have to acknowledge improvement and smell the roses along the way.
Agree snakey, lovin smellin the roses. Excited about the upside. Looking fwd to the rest of the season. Hoping for a flag. Will settle for a prelim. Finals win will be par. 3 finals in a row aint insignificant.
Its all about the journey.
