Is this 1987 all over again?

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Not a snowflakes chance in hell we will make finals this year.

I do believe we will next year if we recruit well and get rid of around 6 to nine players.

Too many losses and injuries under the bridge.

We will refine our plan and list. Reset with the talent we have and its quite a lot.

Hopefully pick up a star ff .

I reckon more like 1999, of an amazing 1998 making a prelim 1999 we won 6 games, injuries and a changing of the guard with a few old blokes coming to an end.  12 months later we played of in a grand final.

I'm not sure if that means Oliver will win the Brownlow in 2020 or Brayshaw with a bleached mop ?

Our percentage reminds me of 1997..... I shudder at the memories of 1997. Honestly we are not playing finals this season, our percentage is diabolical.

It's remarkable that after such a poor start to the season we're one game off 9th ...

... and percentage. That's the big worry.

I think we're a really good chance to win the next couple and then things suddenly look a lot different going into the Pies game, but I don't see us beating the Crows by 90 odd as we did last year

Is this like 1987?

No. No way. No way Jose.

Chunk?

So long as Maxy doesn't have a Jimmy moment and run over/though the mark.

My old man recons we would have beaten Carlton in the GF.

I'm in favor of '87 with at twist' !!

Pretty hard to believe we made the finals that year considering we lost to a horrid St Kilda by 46 point in round 17 at Moorabbin to take us to a struggling 7-10.

Does anybody remember that game? I'm guessing those that went would have gone home dejected and wondering if we'd ever make finals again in their life time.

We had an easy MCG kill against the Bears the following week and never looked back until the prelim.

If we're 5-7 after Collingwood, then I think another 1987 could be on the cards for sure.

Yes, if we get to 5-7 , I did the ladder predictor, and we finished 6th. Fingers crossed.

[Lord Travis 10,709]

I did the ladder predictor and had us finishing 10th at the end of the season.

In my generous predictions we finished 12 wins -10 losses.

12-10 could get let you finish 7th or 8th... if your percentage is worthy. Our percentage is horrible and will prevent us playing finals even if we string wins together. We’d have to roll teams like Pies and Eagles on top of winning all the other “easier” matches.

It’s not our year unfortunately.

I think this year is resembling this year.

Your old man is dead set kidding himself. We'd have struggled to field a competitive side in the gf. Flower, Wilson & Dean are just a few of those who'd have struggled to come up. That PF against the Hawks was brutal

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,225]

No hope of making the finals.
