wut?Itās our next 6-8 thatās the problem. Our bottom six is good enough when we arenāt stacked with injuries but the minute we have 6-8 on the injury list we become a bog average team.

We were winning huge games, often easily, in our run that often had 6 good players out, including the Collingwood game. Our bottom 6 weren't too bad. Not to mention the bottom 6 more after that.Someone wrote during the week our bottom 6 wouldn't walk into the other top 4 sides. I saw players win a premiership yesterday who ain't any better than our bottom 6.
The day after the GF and Iāve got to say it. Collingwood look unbeatable. They do everything better than everyone else. May as well hand them the Cup now and not bother about 2024.
Superteam - won three finals by a total of 12 points !!
Just over 100kwhat was the crowd yesterday, aside from the usual personal hygiene issues?
Far from it. Our depth is deeper than almost all teams. We used more players than Melbourne and Brisbane this year because of injury.Itās our next 6-8 thatās the problem.

I think we tend to drop off significantly when a certain amount of players arenāt in our forward half and backline. Thatās just what my eyes tell me. I canāt argue with those numbers thoughFar from it. Our depth is deeper than almost all teams. We used more players than Melbourne and Brisbane this year because of injury.
Brisbane had 9 players play every game, a further 3 miss one game and a further 3 miss two games. A total of 15 players missed 2 games or less.
Collingwood had 4 players every game, 3 miss one game, 5 miss two games. A total of 12 players missed 2 or less.
Melbourne, 5 every game, 4 miss one game, 5 miss 2. Total of 14 missed less 2 or less.
GWS, 3 every game, 3 miss 1 game and 2 miss 2 games. Total of 8 missed 2 or less.
Port, 6 played every game, 3 missed one game, 1 missed one game. A total of 10 missed 2 or less.
Carlton 2 played every game, 2 missed one game and 2 missed two games. A total of 6 players missed 2 games or less.
Our depth stacked up very well.
Itās a bit of a spew that they managed to win this one as I canāt see them being competitive in 2 years with all the inevitable outgoings. The Weagles had way less resting on 30+ year olds in 2018 than the Pies did this year.
Of their Premiership winning side, 9 will be 30+ next year. That doesnāt include Adams, who didnāt play but is absolutely best 18.
To illustrate how dire itās gonna get, here are the 10 with their successors that are on their current list (that didnāt play yesterday, obviously):
Scott Pendlebury - Fin Macrae
Jeremy Howe - Trey Ruscoe
Steel Sidebottom - John Noble
Mason Cox - Oscar Steene
Jamie Elliot - Trent Bianco?
Brodie Mihochek - Ash Johnson
Tom Mitchell - Reef McInnes
Will Hoskin Elliot - Arlo Draper
Taylor Adams - Ed Allan
Jack Crisp - Jakob Ryan
They are deadset cooked with that list profile! Theyāve pulled it off this year and thatās what theyāll be judged on but wow, if the Lions knocked them off weād have had years and years to hold over them.
It was a great game though and they did deserve to win, and were very fun to watch. But wowee we couldāve had a golden era of taunting the black and white army had they lost in the last minute then fell away to obscurity for years.

Yeah, I agree - I just don't see how they're going to achieve that given how much money is tied up in their top end by all reports. Plus, they have no depth to trade out. Of the players that didn't play in the 23 on the weekend that are 28 or younger, all would only have nominal value on the trade table except John Noble and Ash Johnson - both of which would command a late 2nd or early 3rd at most.Fly will try to emulate Clarko and top up to plug holes to continue the premiership window.

I'm not so sure it does. Plenty of variety and talent in their below 27 demographics.Yeah, I agree - I just don't see how they're going to achieve that given how much money is tied up in their top end by all reports.

Anyway, credit to them - they've achieved the ultimate. That list just looks like a disaster waiting to happen in a few years.
Hey dude we came third, from the top, not third last!!!! WTF is going through these people's heads? We came third and are happy, better be careful they'll be telling us we're accepting failure, settling for second best, blah, blah, blah..........Itās our next 6-8 thatās the problem. Our bottom six is good enough when we arenāt stacked with injuries but the minute we have 6-8 on the injury list we become a bog average team.
Lol chill dude, even the itks just said the club believe we need to strengthen our depth. I donāt think Iām being unreasonable. Great finish to the year but if we just ignore what happened throughout the campaign and just expect weāll continue onto next year in the same way we ended the year then weāre just being complacent. Weāve got to keep the standard high nowHey dude we came third, from the top, not third last!!!! WTF is going through these people's heads? We came third and are happy, better be careful they'll be telling us we're accepting failure, settling for second best, blah, blah, blah..........
Same campaigners no matter what the Team achieves, should we win the flag next year, it'll be that we didn't smash them, and win by 50 points......
Poor old see-tracks, upset having his hygiene questioned......what was the crowd yesterday, aside from the usual personal hygiene issues?
