We are a silly chance, If we can keep dominating the contested ball we normally win every game..if we can't we won't be beating sides on turnover from defense because we literally never score this way.

Would we be the most non-favoured minor premier in living history?

A former AFL player has welcomed an historic insurance payout, saying it is long-awaited acknowledgement of the permanent damage caused by repetitive concussions while playing football.

Shaun Smith, who played for North Melbourne and Melbourne in the late 80s and 90s, was recently paid just over $1.4 million after his insurance company found he was "totally and permanently disabled" from the brain injuries acquired during his career.

"I'm just happy that it's finally been recognised," he told the ABC.

The 51-year-old said his brain injury had changed his life in numerous ways, from affecting his moods to damaging his memory.

Are we the most non-favoured minor premier in living history?

Probably.
It does feel like 2007 to me to be honest. Perhaps that's why.

The way we were so easily dismantled by Geelong and Brisbane probably have a lot to do with that.

I gave the Cats last year less of a chance than I give us this year, but I can't think of too many others at least in the AFL era.

5th is basically a qualifying final as it's the weakest 8th team in history

2013 Carlton say hi, although technically they were the weakest 9th team to play finals.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Richmond

I'd think so.

Looks like clubs are starting to train with soap because of how bad the conditions are getting...

Fremantle in 2015 weren’t particularly highly rated either.

The one we beat so badly in a final that when we played them pre-season the year after they walked off early!
