You're actually serious aren't you.

17 fit players halfway through the 2nd quarter, at which point we were still a goal up. I fail to see how injuries are Hamishs fault.

We are 6-5 with most of the top 10 of our BnF out, and we have 1 top 10 pick on our list...... that we traded from another club.

Are you still getting over the fact the guy we picked over Burton is having a MUCH better year??

You need a decent list to cover depth every team is in the same boat we are no orphan for injuries last year we lucked out

This year we need to rely on the non existent depth

The biggest concern about our list is our stars are definetly on the decline and we have no replacements which is why I can’t see us winning a flag in the next 5 years maybe 10

i don't think anyone can pass judgement one way or another about his coaching ability based on that small period of time.
Yes, 7 games isn't enough.
I bought into it enough that I still sometimes wonder would could have been had tragedy not struck.
I was still in wait-and-see mode. 7-5 wasn't impressive, wasn't bad.
I've never wondered what-might-have-been. There's no point.

The best part about this is going by your form, when we do win one, and soon, you will be nowhere to be seen.

A premiership would be a double win for this site.

The question makes no sense. Repeating it doesn't help. It's not as cut-and-dried as "YES OR NO".
Our best-22 is capable of winning a Flag, which is true of maybe 6 sides every year, but so what?
Best anyone could say is "I hope so", although if you looked at Sunday's side, and the Sunday before that, you'd probably say "I seriously doubt it".
Although --- did you pick the Bulldogs after round 11, 2016? Richmond, last year? ;)
Too much can happen week-to-week to be definite.

Best 22 is never available for the GF which is why the list with depth is important and replenishing that list is even more important

Injuries were our friend last year, they aren't this year and with the aging of our best players wont be next year
o_O
Brodie Smith ACL, Gov hamstring, both missed GF. 2 KEY players, both in form.
I wouldn't call appendectomies as injuries (Betts, Sloane) but they didn't help. Nothing friendly about any of those.
 
Even close to full strength with 2-3 injuries I think Melb and WC would have overtaken us , I'd have us 4th
Hindsight.
Melb didn't make the 8 in 2017, WCE scraped in then beat PA last kick after the siren. On that basis, back then, or even at the start of the 2018 season did you pick them to go ahead of us this year? Be honest, now o_O.
Melbourne were tipped to make the 8. Most left WCE out of contention, but they've been a revelation.
 
Brodie Smith won't play again this year
Greetings, O Traveller from the Future!
Please tell us all the winner of the 2018 Melbourne Cup, too, in fact the Pick 4 as well. ;)

(btw,
I think it's more than likely that we won't be risking Smith this year if we don't make the finals.
is much more reasonable :thumbsu:)

We did have depth though. Otten came in for McGovern and Seedsman came in for Smith (Mackay was shuffled into Smith's role).

Milera and Hampton were also available (but not picked).

Not sure how much more depth we needed - they wouldn't have been picked anyway.

We got screwed last year by the end.
Now the early part of this year, we got screwed!
Screw this!
 
My seasons expectation? A return to the Grand Final. So much so I purchased a Gold Membership. Hell I cant really afford it but I want to be there when we win it.

So sad right now. Still hope but 1% level
