Do we have a Hawks preview thread on the way?
We don’t have the depth to play finals , but what we had out there Sunday makes us very competitive
This I find a very relavent statement ✔We don’t have the depth to play finals , but what we had out there Sunday makes us very competitive
The teams around and below us last year had more depth (and upside) with their lists and have zoomed straight past us. We missed the finals last year after a poor finish to the year, that’s not the “what” we should accept for sustained successLast year was what then? We have plenty of depth, just need to find form.

My point is our depth was fine last year, we should've played finals. What's changed this year?
If we beat Hawthorn after the bye (which I think we should given their best player Sicily is out suspended) I think finals talk is well and truly back on the agenda.
We still have a pulse (albeit a smallish one) but we seem to be under Voss a streaky team, so if we knock off the Hawks, who knows ?
A month ago, Richmond was written off as any finals chance.
If we could just beat one or two of Pies, Port, Saints and Dees in the run home I’d be thrilled
Saints aren’t in the same class as those other three. We should’ve beat them earlier in the year. I certainly think we should beat them later in the year.
I’d like to think we could beat one of Port and Melbourne too. Collingwood are at an another level altogether.
It’s not over until it’s over…

Of course not. We are winning thirteen of our last thirteen and taking #17!!!We are not winning eight of our last nine games to make finals.
Lost against 2 of the 3 other top 4 sides.Pies are playing the AFL equiv of Bazzball… it can be defeated
No they don't. People can take whatever they like from it. Some continue the criticism and misery, others like the positive signs that came from the win.First can I say I love your optimism.

People need to put this win into perspective.
10 touches in a full game of footy hardly makes him untouchable. Fog is a fringe player who was serviceable.

Will come down to team balance and the opposition.
Did you think we would miss finals when we were 8-2 last year?And then there's the realists that sit in between.
Not enough likes for such a post = POTY.I think we need to lose this whole tanking/playing for draft picks mentality. It possibly has in our case contributed to a poor/losing culture over the years imo.
We need to develop a winning culture (like the pre 2002 Carlton) where defeat is unacceptable. Tanking, high draft picks, green shoots and the latest in vogue buzzword nourishment, are words that need to be abolished from the Carlton vernacular!
Forget about draft picks i say and finish the season as strong as possible. We're still in with an outside chance of playing finals footy after all, despite being so poor for most of the year.

Wasn’t realistic to think that we could miss was it?Of course not.

Our best chance of winning enough games to make finals is to somehow fool our players with where we are on the ladder…
in reality we move up the ladder but somehow our players need to think we are still well away from top 8…that we can’t make finals. If they get Any hint that we make finals it will completely blow our chances.
