Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

I know I was having a bit of fun. Seriously though, we need to make the finals to keep us a destination club, as that can make the difference to a potential trade/free agent target. Also it would be nice to wipe out 2019, reward and validate the decision of the players who have come across like May and of course the rest of the club, as well as us fans, who just simply deserve and crave success for our Dees. 
On another note, I hope we can get Jordon a game sometime this year. I have been pushing him up since his first few Casey games as he improved weekly.

Nope, they have a pretty grim run home.

If you are talking about the “run too far” free it was another umpire shocker. He took 10-11 steps and was pinged. Terrible decision.

With today’s crushing loss, the Saints appear to be the most vulnerable of the teams in the eight because they have a tough draw ahead of them. In the end, we need to string some wins together including some big scalps. I’m taking things one week at a time of course, but a win against St Kilda would be handy.

That’s the thing about 2020 - you don’t know how the final draw is going to pan out.

How was that not a free to Wingard? 

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,293]

Anyone notice Warpole shove in Fyfe in the back while he was on the ground? Exactly like Vanders did, but worse, given Fyfe was grabbing at his shoulder. Not a word from Derm, who quickly changed the topic. He was so so strong on it when Vanders did it...not a word about his beloved Hawk! Disgrace

This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
 

Apologies about my fascination with what you choose to type (it must be lockdown). ..I just did a check - and I must confess I thought it would be at least 10% of the time...but of your 20,000 odd posts - 231 include the phrase 'no excuses' or derivatives of. It's only 1% of your posts, but jeez it feels immense. All the way back to 2009, no excuses.

For a bloke that bangs on about no excuses, incessantly  you're a pretty patient one

True nuff.

Though just before The whistle blew he handball it straight to a Freo player so would have turned it over anyway.

That said whenever I have seen him play he had played well. Outmarked fyfe a bit later

EO

that's a really creepy post.

One of the things I have always liked about this forum is the friendly banter but sometimes..........

FWIW I'm sick of the excuses as well

Go Dees

Mundy is a really, really good footballer.

I could say underrated but no, I'm sure all those who know football know how good he is.

and he's been one for a very, very long time

if he had played over east - say for collingwood, essendon, hawthorn, or geelong - he'd be a premiership player and feted as a superstar of the game

as much as junior burger has been a terrific member of hawthorn's incredible golden period over the last decade, his time at port was arguably even better

in those 00s sides that were regularly at the top of the table - only to crumble in finals, before finally getting a win in 04, in what was his breakout year - he was arguably more important to the pear than any player bar tredrea

he never forgave them not making him skipper

at about 2m per stride that would be about 20 m run - correct call

Yes the good, the mark, and the very bad, the handball without looking to the opposing side who then one kick later, put it right through the middle. 
cost his side big time that handball

 

too erratic exciting to watch but heart very much in your mouth
