Respect not finals...Green

Good to see they have perspective and rationale. I can understand that many just want to see us playing finals. But theres a time and a place for all things and the necessity of finishing top 8 this year just ( for mine ) isnt one .

Lets get the machine runnig right, then take it racing !! ;)

    Respect should definately be our objective given our current ladder position and stage of development as a team. Essendon are a young team who played finals last year ....... they are now widely seen as having gone backwards in 2010. I would hate for our team to be seen in that light. We are much better placed in the 'respect stakes' than Essendon, to a large degree because we are methodically following a plan, and we havn't got too far ahead of ourselves. September action will come soon enough if we stick to the plan.

    Playing finals is not the goal...playign finals on the way to winning a premiership is !!

    It not about making up numbers...its about triumphing !!

    Agreed. We were never a realistic chance and nor did most of us expect us to be. I just want to see them continue to improve on the game style and aggression. The rest will take care of itself.

    I agree. Leave the dreaming about winning 4/7 games in the run home and stealing 8th to the supporters.

    I see the point being made in the 'making up numbers' v 'triumphing' argument, but obviously it would be fantastic for our kids to play even 1 game in September.

    At least we're guaranteed of playing in September next year. ;) Although it is pending: -

    Playing finals last year hasn't helped Essendon. In fact there's a reasonable argument that it has hurt them.

    I think young Brad learnt from his 2007 mistake.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
