Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 11 - 15

I know we've played a game less, but it's kinda crazy that we are an impressive 8-3 and yet are sitting 7th.

Freo and Sydney beating Melbourne have shaken things up.
We aren't actually 7th. We are equal 3rd with a game up our sleeves.

Sucks for us on the ladder but dees losing is good. They aren’t invincible.

Fremantle vs Brisbane today is a good matchup, there has to be a loser. A draw would also be a good result.
 
Good form and the least amount of injuries to your best team and it’s an open & even season…
Looks like a lot of the better clubs are capable of beating anyone on their day atm…
Hope we can get some players back and stay relatively good on the injury front without anymore players going down long term…
Close to our strongest team, our best this year is right up there and we can definitely challenge anyone, particularly if we can narrow the consistency gaps…

Has any club finishing well outside the 8 (eg 13th) in one season gone on to win the flag in the following season?
Richmond 2017 Collingwood 2018 had something similar happen I think

EDIT
Richmond 2016 - 13th
Richmond 2017 - Premiership

Collingwood 2017 - 13th
Collingwood 2018 - GF loss

If Walsh threw his head back when he got hit high against Collingwood, he might’ve gotten the free kick.

I’m glad he didn’t, shouldn’t have to throw the head back or over exacerbate for frees…

I only seen the incident once on video and was at the match live and never noticed it.
Assume umpire on same side as me and did not see it.
It was only a split second so easy to miss.
 
I don’t want to mention it but imagine our ladder position now if jsos slotted that snap in dying seconds….

Imagine where we would be if Mitch, Pittonet, McKay, Weiters, Marchbank and Cuningham were all playing.

So if he did, got the free and kicked the goal, you wouldn't have celebrated?

There's so much going on in those moments, it's hard for the umpire to catch everything, especially when they are on the wrong side of the play. I'd rather the frees that are there are paid.

Walsh was grabbed high, nothing wrong if he rocks his head back to make sure the umpire sees it. That's not the same as throwing the head back with no contact.

Do not know but I find this amazes me. The ladder position of round 9 in 1945. We only have 3 wins after 9 rounds.
Only 3 teams below us on ladder at that point. We also had lost a match but 100 points already in that season.
Look up whom won the premiership in 1945... Crazy...

If we can stay in top 8 and we get those players back we win flag hands down. With a full team we are close as we’ve ever been to 1995 level good.
