I can't see the top 8 for the Tigers let alone top 4.
I just think Brisbane are coming from too far back.
I think it's more likely Richmond make the top 8 than Brisbane make the top 8, but given the poll options I'd have to say Brisbane making the 8 is more likely (than us making the 4). Can't see us finishing top 4, but fully expect us to be a 6th-8th side.
Excellent post, but I think you're really undermining the importance of 3 key injuries to our side this year.
Your team had a terrific run with injury, and as such were able to be a better team overall.
We had Leuenberger out for virtually the whole season, McGrath out for half the season, Staker missed the whole season. While it's not a valid excuse for the thrashings we received, but we also had to adjust to a new ruckman, who had a different style of rucking compared to Leuenberger.
If Richmond had of kicked as straight as their opposition every game this year they would have made top 4, hopefully we are not that far away. I can't say I rate Brisbane highly, probably cause we have beat them comfortably recently, even in Brisbane.

14 wins 5 losses and 3 draws would not get you into the top 4 - not that is is even relevant. Bad kicking is bad football. If you tighten up or lacking skill you will miss a lot of goals and end up around 12th.
Yes I apologise you are correct, I didnt realise saints had more scoring shots than us in a game we won.
I never said bad kicking was good football, what it shows is that "hopefully" we are not that far away. Just need a little more composure in both finishing and delivering the ball inside 50 and we could well be pushing top 4 next year.
Or maybe not,
but for most observers capable of looking at the reality of what happened, the fact that we were on top in general play in most of our games indicates good signs for the future for such a young group.
I just think the Tiger supporters need to settle just a little bit - up and about after 12th??
How were you after 1995? Lost a prelim but was the start of a Golden era - missed the next 5 final series.
Then again in 2002 - Lost a prelim but was the start of a Golden era and missed the next 10 finals series - and still counting.
Now finshing 12th I cannot see top 4 with a weak backline and no midfield depth. Top 4 is a curse for you anyway.

Not hostile just not sure why hopes are so high. any 25 year supporter would not be buying into this. 1 gun,1 very good, 2 up and comers not there yet, one injury prone, 1 past their best and 1 very very average.Why so hostile? I don't think anyone's been over the top in this thread.
I don't think midfield depth is as bad as everyone says.
Cotchin, Deledio, Martin, Foley, Tuck, Conca and Grigg are 7 good midfielders.

What's wrong with our backline?
Our forward line was worse this year. In 2011 our backline was no good, stepped up this year and should get even better with the inclusion of Chaplin in 2013.
Morris Chaplin Newman
Grimes Rance Houli
Would've thought that is a solid back 6.
Solid is not good enough for top 4.What's wrong with our backline?
