A list that was sitting 2nd until round 20 and made it to a prelim last year?
I don't think this group is good enough for top 4 finishes. What constitutes our current best 22 isnt good enough to win a flag IMO. Moving on the injured trio and maybe Owies, Carroll Kennedy etc, and adding Haynes doesnt move the needle one iota for us IMO.
If you want to go down that train of thought, then bottling the Giants and Dogs games are far more relevant than the Hawks or Saints games.Getting spanked by Hawthorn & losing to the Pies & Saints is a hell of a lot more relevant than “we were 2nd”
Expect a big bombshell to happen within the next week (not Joe Daniher related)
Half of the things that have been said on this topic don't qualify as a rumour. Lots of them seem list management relatedThat does not qualify as a rumour. There is always big news week after the GF. More info needed.
Anything else you can add would be appreciated.Half of the things that have been said on this topic don't qualify as a rumour. Lots of them seem list management related
Being second and being “second seed” for much of the year absolutely matters. We have sufficient talent and preparation to be competitive with the best teams. Totally relevant.Can we give the “we were 2nd on the ladder” BS a rest - Hawks were 13th - Brisbane was 13th while we were 2nd too, who the **** cares!
It’s where u finish that counts!
Being 2nd on 11-12 wins doesn’t mean anything if that doesn’t translate to 15+ wins and top 4.

So the fact we were second for so long. Was purely a fluke, was it?Can we give the “we were 2nd on the ladder” BS a rest - Hawks were 13th - Brisbane was 13th while we were 2nd too, who the **** cares!

check the results, the bye helped - we won 3 games in 6 rounds vs Tigers, North, Cats.So the fact we were second for so long. Was purely a fluke, was it?
Can you do a nice Crippto Cryptic for us?Expect a big bombshell to happen within the next week (not Joe Daniher related)
Our victory over the cats, we smashed 'em. Shows to me that we are close, very close to a bona fide top four side.check the results, the bye helped - we won 3 games in 6 rounds vs Tigers, North, Cats.
It's a very long and taxing season. Especially after an extended pre-season and a heavily taxing game style.We were the 8th best team. We were going well, and fell away.
The ladder never lies.
