No i wouldn’t think that at all You are a very sick man Winners make finals and the the MCG is full of expectation .. For someone who hates it when others judge his thoughts, replies and what he thinks, it seems hypocritical of you to call me a 'very sick man'. Takes one to know one I guess. Quote
gregdemon 628 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Cannot see us losing to freo ... its the next few weeks that concern me. Hope am I am wrong but will not make finals. Playing dogs after playing in darwin na !! Adelaide in adelaide no ! Geelong at geelong (happens once every 15 years) West coast in perth .. No !! blew it last week and first round. Hope I am wrong, Side note won $65 last week. had 10 on saints. Having watched by beloved team for decades I knew $6.50 odds for saints was ridiculous. Hope I was not going to collect.. but I did.

Takes one to know one I guess. People can think whatever they want on here, but for you to say i will find negatives after a win is just petty rubbish. I hate losing & i hate slack performances, of which we see too many but i will never tire of wins ”Failure requires no Preparation...” Quote

The Stigga 1,097 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Even if we'd beaten St Kilda and say Geelong, I still think we'd struggle to make the 8, the last 5-6 weeks is just a brutal run of games, coupled with teams around us having much easier draws... Quote

Which only highlights what a shocking decision playing fixtures in Darwin is. What is more important to the club, a suitcase of $$$’s or playing finals in September?? Quote

I'm not sure the decision is 'fully' ours, i think we are partially beholden to the AFL to continue this arrangement in some form, perhaps due to previous 'support' we received. Quote

Might as well pack up the club if the AFL are forcing our hand and retarding our fixture. Clubs who plays us 2-3 weeks after Darwin get a massive free kick Quote

I believe you referred to St Kilda as a ‘bucket of puss’. After reading that I seriously thought there was no way we could lose. Quote

Demon Disciple 12,536 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 If we lose to Freo, i expect Goodwin to hand in his resignation. If not, i then expect for him to be sacked. No Joke. Quote

And then I want to know what the implications are of missing the finals 2 years in a row, especially after being 8-3 this year. Head coach sacked? New president? At the very least they can punt that assistant coach that wore his Richmond scarf to every final last year, and was seen actively supporting a rival club. I'm curious who was he? Quote
SFebes 4,884 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Fremantle were putrid last week so it will be interesting, we should [censored] them. A couple of close losses and a big win will get our percentage up there which may be handy Quote

Not really. We lost to North by 4 points in rubbish conditions, then to a hot GWS, then belted StKilda for all but a lapse in the 3rd quarter. Sports science has come along way in the last few years. If we lose to Dogs next week it won’t have anything to do with the conditions on Saturday night 1 Quote
