Exactly this. 
11 wins and a top 5 pick? Ok thanks.

All I want for Xmas is an elite kick and decision maker.

A lefty would be a sweet bonus.

I kinda of feel your being prejudice toward right footers here Binman. 😂

I just want Carlton to miss the finals as well.

In the words of the famed poet/philosopher Ricky Bobby, "if you ain't first, you're last."

I really couldn't care about the 14th place. The moment we couldn't make finals, I still wanted us to win every match but had more interest hoping results go our way for the highest draft pick possible.

Bad?

It’s bloody brilliant.

2019 everything went wrong. Jackson, Pickett and Rivers were premiership players 2 years later.

Whilst I’m not expecting that kind of turnaround a pick 6 is lovely. That could be an Oliver level player, could be a Windsor, could be traded for Steve May.

Biggest downside is we don’t have our second rounder and have to beg the Crows for it back.

Ah yes, no footy in September and discussion on high first round draft picks. Feels like home.

Do we get a soft Fixture next year being bottom 6?

Yep, though wait for the AFL to change that this off-season

Billy, have you been watching the last couple of months?

It's actually disgraceful but not a surprise.  No wonder trac is livid

This puts us in the bottom 6 fixture group; coupled with pick 5 it gives us great scope to challenge again in 2025.

But will the bottom six be easy beats next year!

You can count on West Coast and Richmond to stink it up real bad next year. Also can’t see North going much better, unless they land some mature players to help steady the ship. 
Adelaide are a who knows. Saints are garbage. 

[layzie 33,793]

Any other ways of saying pick 5? We need more threads on the matter.

Agree 100%.

Disappointing to miss the finals but this was a very even year. 
we only had the two(?) really bad games.  Why. NFI.  Something was wrong.

And how many by less than 10 or so points.  And we started with two less top 22 players.   So with the football gods with us in 2025.  And some  better team management. Look forward. Go Dee’s 

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

One spot off bottom 4 is pretty damning, but 11 wins is still decent.

That's generous.

Both Fremantle games were abysmal. The West Coast and Dogs games were right up there in the same category.

Both Collingwood games were really bad. 

We also beat North by three points. 

We were no longer difficult to play.

Unlike others on this site, Billy is doing a good job of not being a hero.
