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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
