What do you want out of season 24?

[McIvor]

Our win against the GC with how many injuries earlier in the year not count?

We had Andrews and Joyce as the only players out injured compared to what Carlton having 6-7 best 22 out.

No doubt you'll claim the guys with ACL's and Payne (had already missed the previous three) count despite us winning the past 7 consecutive up to that point?

Yep, really suits my narrative, but c'mon lets not pretend that win was more impressive than what Carlton did over west.

I’m talking about the first GC game. I’m not taking away from what Carlton did, it was impressive. I’m taking aim at your claim we couldn’t do that. A GC team I might add who at the point were significantly better than the WC team of last week.

We’ve played half a season with at least 5-6 regulars out long term - Ashcroft, Gardner, McCarthy, Coleman, Payne, Doedee all gone extended periods. You may not like it and you may wave it away, doesn’t change the fact it has been happening by a team you say couldn’t do something similar.

Like to think we can find a few 6 footers with acceleration and SPEED

Another glass half full perspective on finishing outside the top 4 would be given the evenness of the competition it wouldn't be that surprising for both grand finalists to play 4 finals

 

[Fluke]

Essendon > Carlton > Geelong > GWS > Hawthorn

So put Sydney instead of Hawthorn, but 2 down, 3 to go.

 

[Gadzorks]

Just two more wins please. Then next year I'll be content and able to enjoy the whole season - can't lose being a premiership team, but have nothing to prove.

Hold your outrage, I'm happy with one. More is a bonus.

 

[Ceebee]

I wanted to make finals , now two more wins please .

 

[Fluke]

Essendon > Carlton > Geelong > GWS > Hawthorn

Just Geelong and substitute Port/Sydney for the Hawks, to go.

 

[martinson]

I'm satisfied with reaching a prelim considering our start and the injuries. You can't look back but just thinking about what could've been last year had Ashcroft not got injured hurts.

We're competitive against Geelong but obviously Lachie isn't right and Hipwood and Payne aren't competitive in the condition they fronted up in last night . Obviously both have to play . If Payne hasn't made strong physical improvement I'd be tempted to go with Joyce but that won't happen.

What we need are big games from Bailey ,Rayner and Cameron . It's time.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Given our start to the season there’s no doubt this season is a success. A preliminary final after our start and acl injuries is such fine effort.

 

[Cuzz09]

I hope you guys beat Geelong but geez it'll be tough.

Hopefully they've been bathing in their own bathwater for 2 weeks and come out sloppy

If you’d told me we’d make a prelim after losing who I considered our most important player before half time in the first game, I’d have taken it.

However, after what happened last night, I’m now being a greedy prick and want the whole thing. Go win it now please.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I think I've got everything I wanted from this season already and everything going forward is just a bonus. Made finals after a poor start, won a final we were expected to and one we weren't expected to. Blooded a couple of youngsters. Got Levi and Marshall and now Gallop into the VFL team. A flag would be nice, but this season is a big success even if we lose to Geelong.

 

[Pacman82]

Nothing less than the premiership cup will suffice after last night's triumph. With GWS & Hawthorn out of the race, our two bugaboo opponents in recent times, I reckon we go all the way this season

 

[KissKiss]

Im probably the opposite. I may have had high expectations at the start of the year but between all the injuries at the start of the year and how banged up we look now I have adjusted my expectations down. I think we have overperformed now and am happy with this. Everything from now is a bonus

 

[Elixuh]

It’d be nice to make the grand final. My expectations are once you make a prelim and a granny anything can happen in those matches.

 

[Toffee Lion]

A flag.

 

[dlanod]

A flag.

Two flags. The women can go back to back.

 

[Viceregal]

A delicious swan dinner served in a silver cup please

Are swans edible? What do they taste like?

Ok so lions probably won't make top 4 because we ain't beating cats sorry.

But finishing 5th is a home final and win that who knows, you might get a gettable, nervous QF loser in week 2.

Not ideal but not over
