We finished 2 games out of the 8 in a season where most things that could go wrong did.

With a healthy list well make the eight next year.

By most things you meant Oliver. Nice cope though

I think part of the problem is this team has been drilled to play a kick it down the line game , whenever the pressure comes on , the team reverts to this , out of instinct . New coach ,new mindset .

The other day I watched the replay of the second half of our win over GWS in R23, 2018. **** me we were fun to watch back then. Fast, aggressive, risky, free flowing footy. I even felt deeply nostalgic for some of the players who we had at that time (Jetta, Hibberd, Jones, Vandenberg, etc).

I can't believe that side was actually coached by Simon Goodwin given how dire our game style has become under his watch.

I was living in Bali at the time and every weekend I'd go to my local sports bar order a bucket of 10 beers on ice for $10 and watch the Dees play the most exciting footy they'd played in years.

Didn't know how good I had it!

Yeah I remember I biggest issue back then was our tendency to leak goals easily but give me a leaky defence and an attacking game plan over this whole 'contest/defence' shit anyday.

When is this "external" review due?

Must be some real good learnings coming out of it

We lost to Collingwood by 42 points but kicked 14.7.91 in the meantime. That score beats most our wins in 24.

And our two close losses to Geelong that year were infuriating at the time but they were both highly watchable games of football

They were better than almost every win in the last 3 years. I ****ing hate this club.

Ask schmuttt and I. While I long for the way we used to play, that after the siren loss at KP was one of the worst days of live footy I've ever experienced lol

Yeah I'd rather be angry at a loss than feel nothing for a win though which is what I feel now. I don't even care when we win anymore like not even slightly. I honestly enjoy it more when we lose for the lolz.

I was furious when we lost both those games, but **** did I enjoy them up until those last kicks.
