To he honest, we were never going to win the flag this year, and it's a pretty good year to have another top 10 draft pick in this KPP solid draft.

Naturally I would greatly prefer to make finals, but not going to be devestated if we don't.

That's footy, gotta take the rough with the smooth, granted we have been a bit unlucky, nothing we can do but hope lady luck smiles again in the next 3 weeks
 
aints playing cats (in geelong), broins (melbourne) and sydney in melb....game behind us with a lower %....so bit difficult for them to remain in top 8

tiggies play port (in adelaide), dorks and *...at least 2 winnable games...maybe 3.

bulldogs playing in melbourne in all remaing games....freo, gws and dorks (all winnable)

if we win one more game i think we will be right...otherwise could get risky
 
It can’t be- it’s the only way we will grow as a team.

This is a great opportunity to see how mentally tough we are, can we force ourselves back into contention.
yeah agree long term.

was being a bit sarcastic in a way...as in we dont stand up to expectations well.

lets hope we get at least 1 more win otherwise the ladder gets a bit tricky.

Well, it's still in out hands....we just need to win...which we won't.

We all know how this ends, unfortunately.

Don't know what's worse now.

Bradburying into 8th or having an all time capitulation to not make it.

Neither will be good for a team that seems to lack some of the mental fortitude to be great.

Richmond and Bulldogs probably win out now.
Porque no los dos? Two things can be true at the same time
1./ IMO Blues have shown a consistent lack of mental fortitude for weeks now. Last time team played 4 decent consistent quarters - vs Freo??
Too much of a discrepancy between best and worst from this team.
2./ Bradburying into 8th. Yeah. Nah. Death riding teams over next 3 weeks. Just for Blues to scrape into finals? Then flogged in our first final in 10 yrs because team is flaky, inconsistent and mentally weak.

Rather team finishes 9th/10th and rues a season where they had pitiful losses to Saints & Crows and drank their own bath water. Hope it haunts them.
Until team starts to develop that mental toughness to grind out matches and learn how to win at all costs, then IMO, (just) making finals is meaningless.

If we play finals, it's because we've earned it, not Bradburying anything. We have been sitting in the top 8 since Round 1.

Jesus Christ.

Absolute drivel.

You might be right,let them feel the hurt as much as we do.

I get we are moaning about our inconsistent form, but only 3 teams are reliably winning. Cats, filth and Melbourne. We are not at that level yet.
