Would have been funny to get in at the expense of Freo and Carlton, but we would not have won a final. Let’s roll out Allan and DeMattia next week

Yeah, maybe WCE rolled over just to spite Freo 🤣

We may not have made it to September this year, but we still have 2023 to look back on fondly; and at least we don't have the ignominy of being supporters of Carlton (or Essendon, or West Coast, or Richmond, or North). That would be almost more than I could bear.
 
Is McStay not a key forward?
Oh dear, let’s take the dogs for example. JUH, Norton and Darcy any of whom can kick multiple goals each week.
Pies: McStay 1-2 a game Checkers 1 maybe a game and the second ruck along with a raft of smalls. Dans a nice player but hardly a “Key” forward. Not the player the opposition are going to worry about kicking 4-5 goals.
Even the King bros are better, as much as their kicking is pretty ordinary, they are a target, like Hogan, McKay, Joe, Hawkins, Cameron, Curnow need I continue.
 
The season is now officially over and we can all stop pretending like we had a chance ever since we lost 4 in a row post-bye, that month of footy was the back breaker.

We did not deserve to be in the finals and have received only what we have earned over 22 games of footy. The effort we put in yesterday was exactly what we needed for most of the season, unfortunately we just didn't want it enough in too many game. As an example, look at how desperate and aggressive Sidey was yesterday, the way he attacked the clearances, where has that been this season? Only when all looks lost do we try to step up......but this time it has all been a bit too late.

We let games slip that we would have won last year (Bomber twice, Saints, Freo, Suns, Cats, Swans, there's 24 extra points right there upgrading the two draws). Injuries aside nobody hand on heart can say we have been good enough this year. Use this extra time off well and prepare better for the start of 2025. We need everyone fit and ready, no excuses.

Bombers are the worst performed Victorian team of the last 20 years.

Fans who turned 18 in 2004 are now closing in on 40 without seeing a single finals win.

Carlton fans who turned 18 in 1995 are now nearly 50.

I love it.

Amazing what contract talk does to a players form and desperation!!!

Yeah our Terrible start of season pretty much set the tone for 2024
 
Well after this Round does not really matter that we won really
Of course it matters. Wins like that make you proud to barrack for this great club.

We will be back contending again very soon.

Good point, you may be right. Time for 1 year deals for Sidey I think. His best is still outstanding but we need him to deliver it alot more next year. For most of this season he had been just floating around a little too much.

Seems to have found a spot as a tagger, just don’t let him kick the ball!
