Not in each individual season. 2001 they started real bad, I remember them losing to Carlton by 80 something points and going 3/5 I think. Narrative was around is Leigh Matthews on a Queensland vacation, their midfield is one paced (yes that midfield). Didn’t lose another game but half that season they weren’t a top 8 side.
Ok mate. I often envy the simple thinkers in this world. Good for you.
In all seriousness, who else were they going to select? The veterans have stood aside, to let the next generation take responsibility for their own futures - so that rules out Walker, Laird & Crouch. The best of our youngsters are mostly in the sub-50 game bracket, and are still establishing their own AFL careers. Rankine is almost the only exception, as a quality player with 50+ games.
Nothing I think, you think, or any of us on this ride think, has even the tiniest iota of influence on the position the club is in today.
Yep, and the club has clung to the Craig era in terms of philosophies like shit to a blanket.
and the Swans might exert a tad more pressure than the Panthers did?
People may (rightly) sneer at our leadership group, but it’s voted by the players. I think that’s why it’s so big - all those players got the same votes. But it’s who the squad thinks are the leaders in the group.
Have you looked at Facebook, Murphy much loved!
for a doctor, you certainly diagnosed the problem!!
Anyone else think kicking in a game called FOOTball is pretty important?
Not really silly as to be drafted into the afl a better than average kick should be standard and something that might need a few minor tweaks.
This would be nice right now, getting games into the youth. I would also like to see Tmurry get some games into him. Schoenberg can only play midfield, although I'd like to see if he can develop into a small defender
