I think some will agree others won’t on your half glass empty prediction. 
SPort by nature is not necessarily linear and because in ‘23 we lost close Finals  games does not mean the same result in 2024.  In 2022 Cwood lost 2 Gindls like us by points only and look at 2024. 

Take a look at the 2021 last quarter and bit vs Cats courtesy 6six6 and the will to win in that game. Do you know what I don’t think it’s any more or less than our last quarter vs Pies I. The QF. We had the shots and  ball in the last quarter to win but just didn’t haven’t magic finishing touch. Put 2/3 class finishing  players and that result would be overturned. Players maybe like Billing’s or McAdam maybe Bowser up forward. That’s why we are in the flag race up to our bootstraps and with some dare and tweaking it’s entirely possible. 

Attitude and class are there but it doesn’t always surface. 
What I do know is if Gawn Viney Trac Clarry Maysie and Lever all stray their best they bring the others along. We have enough ability and will to be a top team and 2024 is a perfect opportunity to show it. 

I don’t agree that I’m glass half empty. We just need several things to change if we’re to win it.

Find it interesting that so many on here deny the fact we crumbled under pressure in the last 2 years of finals, especially 23 and that our culture is not all it’s cracked up to be. Maybe take a listen to Christian Petracca talk about it. He flat out admits both. I know many of you can’t bare to think we’re not the best and talking about it triggers you but we’re not. We’re in it but we need a lot to go right and some very important things to change. 

What is up with your triggering nonsense?

You think posters claiming we choked, will slide, are poorly coached, have a boring game plan, have missed our window, im being a realist, just telling it like it is, yada yada, yada is triggering?

How long have you been posting on Demonland?

That's been the majority view on this site ever since I started posting way back in 2011.

We lose round one, and I'm sure the is Goodwin the right coach thread will come roaring back (spoiler alert for 90% of people posting the answer was, and will be, no)

Anyone who posts on Demonland has well and truly had their triggering innoculations against that sort of palaver.

In fact, in my experience, it is the contrary view - ie we wont slide, we'll likely make top 4, the reality is we won a flag teo seasons ago and finished top 4 in the last 3 seasons, we have a brutally effective game plan other teams have coped, accuracy cost us, etc etc- that actually triggers people. 

There's a psychological concept called projection. Might be worth looking into.

As I said it’s triggering. I’ve also said we can win it. It’s just my belief that we’re on a knife’s edge. By the reading of the replies to my posts and the private messages I’ve received I’d say some don’t agree.
