Exactly!It's the perfect cover
Late to the party on this, but their ranking of WBD as #1 is so full of caveats they should be embarrassed publishing it.Apparently, our win against the Bombers was closer than the scoreline suggested. I can't even

But they beat us and we lost to Port so we should forefit the seasonLate to the party on this, but their ranking of WBD as #1 is so full of caveats they should be embarrassed publishing it.
There’s a chance our No.1 team misses the finals entirely....
...You can very fairly point out that the Dogs lost by six goals to bottom-four side Adelaide last week...
....We’ll have them favoured in an elimination final vs Carlton, Fremantle or Hawthorn (the latter is much tougher, but they may not have Will Day); playing an away semi-final against GWS or Port shouldn’t be TOO scary (though you’d rather avoid Adelaide Oval); and they won’t be afraid of an SCG prelim.....
It seems to come down to;
...we’ve also been leading this bandwagon for a few months...so they are going to hang on until grim death.
And finally congratulations to the Dogs having ....13 wins and a huge percentage.
Indeed well done to them on having 3 less wins and a poorer % than the Swans.
The eye sees all, but the mind shows us what we want to see.

The word that best describes what they have gone through over those 6 or so weeks, IMO, is "soft".Does seem to prove the theory that it really is all just mental with this group
Why wouldn't they? Think there's enough egos to have a look. Probably not after a bad loss though.

Best of the best: Your club's greatest player of all time
For some clubs, it's clear-cut. For others, the debate still rages. AFL.com.au's reporters make the call on the greatest player at every clubwww.afl.com.au
They've gone with Goodsey. Great as that great man is, when it comes to our club's greatest player, it is clear-cut Bobby Skilton. They rightly mention Plugger and Franklin for their enormous talent but overlook Nash and Pratt and even Bedford. We also had some amazing players in the 19th century. We have blessed with a number of outstanding players over the years - sadly not enough at the same time though for 70 odd years.
I've gotta go Goodes. Longevity, flexibility of position, two Brownlows, as well as two flags from a team perspective.
Correct , Skilton also missed an entire season with a ruptured Achilles , played in a shocking side at times , Goodes was lucky to have so many stars . Nash doesn't get the kudos he should and Nash was a freak . But hey im on the media thread , sorryRecency bias!
Skilts had 3 Brownlows, 9 B&Fs (!!), captained the club across 11 seasons and only played one less season (16 v 17). Didn't get any flags but that wasn't his fault. There's a reason (actually a lot of them) our B&F is named after him.
Recency bias!

Is it because he came first?
How many of Skilton's seasons did you watch?
I think it's impossible to judge properly having not watched him play but Goodes' longevity and versatility wins it for me.
It's almost impossible to effectively compare players from different eras as so much is different. Both champions.It's a fair point that I have watched precisely none of Skilton's games live (or even otherwise) - I've only snippets of footage. (I take it the same goes for you?) But I have read and I have listened and heard, and the facts I cited speak for themselves.
I think it's important we remember our history and not overrate the present time.

Nostalgia bias lol. Same goes for the whole Leigh Matthews is the GOAT thing, gotta move on at some point it just doesn't wash anymore. Michael Jordan fits in there too.Recency bias!
