Too early to start a Road to the Finals post?? 🤣

We need to win 11 from 16… that’s winning 2 from every 3 games…

Sportsbet have us at $3.

Yes.

Let's focus on the Eagles and nothing but the Eagles...

I like it!

No.

One week at a time.

We need scalps before any talk of finals are brought up in any logical conversations.

That friend who shows you the final season of Game of Thrones and then suggests binge watching the rest from the start.

Even if they turn out to be right, it isn't a rational decision to trust their taste.

Can’t see us not making finals and then taking the flag from 6th

Elimination final V Carlton W by 56

Semi Final V Hawks W by 34

Preliminary V Collingwood W by 29

GF V Geelong W by 7 after being 56 points down late in the second.

Only having kids would top that 4 weeks. That’s rolled gold!

Got a mid-season target for option B, wouldn't mind a nice follow-up in September. I'll let you know how it compares.

Geez this is peak Melbourne

Like may carrying on about smoking the pies after the second straight sets

Let’s play 4 Quarters of Good Solid Football first.

Right now we are a V12 engine running on 7 Cylinders

Much tuning and balancing to be done

Why even start this thread, it’s triggering.

Happy with what you've seen though over the last fortnight, SWYL? At least in snippets...?

He was right but for Maynard on Brayshaw.

Tell em they’re dreaming……

Too soon

But I love it!

Happy with the wins, of course

But our final Quarters have been bog ordinary, for some reason

Good sides will take us apart if it doesn’t improve

Is such a dichotomy:

We want a team that puts itself in a position to compete in finals every year;

Vs

Let's take it one week at a time.

Personally I think we have way underachieved the season to date and have more upside than alot of the teams above us. The V12 firing on 7 cylinders is a reasonable analogy. Trac and Clarry are better than current form. The past few weeks we have seen what happens when Kossie, Max and Vines start to fire.

We will need things to go right injury wise from here and a few young players like JVR etc to stand up and take the next step, but if that happens, I think we are better than alot of the teams currently above us.

Who knows.

We have played one very good game, and two good games.

It’s not a case of ‘one week at a time’ it is more ‘ask me how we look in one weeks time’…

Win the next two and you can start doing the sums

I dont ever see much about Ben Crowe on here. He is the best mindset coach in the business and that's what we need.

Goody, Clarry and Trac will only benefit from him.

We won the first 10 games straight in 2023 but that's not how you win a premiership look at Sydney last year.

Peak at the right time with the right mindset and do damage

My understanding is Crowe came in for the review and he's no longer around. Happy to he corrected on that point...

And @Wells 11 , we won the first 9 in 2021 (we lost to Adelaide by a point in Round 10 from memory), but won the first 10 in 2022.

1. Beat the Eagles.

2. Clarry & Petracca play a 3 quarter game on way back to playing four quarters! Versus half a game!

3. JVR play competitive footy and kick some goals!

4. Play with aggression!

5. Then worry about the next week!
