I differ somewhat. I don't think we'll make it, but I think if we do we can do some damage. I think our mental hurdle is our absence from finals, not the premiership drought. Make finals and I think we'll play with more freedom and be more dangerous. Not saying by any means that making the finals should be a measure of success, that should always come down to premierships. I don't think many sides would want to face us if we made it to the finals. But, alas, I don't think we will this year ?

Spot on, some just don't get it do they....

Yep that last one pure magic ?

All above a tick , if we're talking gifted as opposed to absolute fulfillment one Travis Johnstone had that gift too. Pity it was never fully realised.

Has to be. Ran past ball, eyes only on player, and high

I miss Garlett when he's on, but bringing him back without vfl form sends the wrong message. Basically if you have some runs on the board, just wait out your time in the twos and you'll be back when we are desperate. Not the message I want from my club. And there's no case to push from his vfl form.

Even a taste of a final would have been some reward for years of toil, but I can't imagine what missing a GF would feel like for him. You're right , hope they bomb out !

Would have played in his first final, may never see one now

Confirmed ACL. Shattered for him.

But we took weed instead of Charlie Curnow ?

Goodwin moved our best small-mid sized forward to the backline early in the second. (fritter). Mind boggling

Yep, the backline isn't our problem...lol. Stkilda has scored 72 points in a half. STKILDA.

Lever plays we win. We didn't miss Lever? Wow. As I said earlier, 39 inside 50's only. But 62 % efficiency inside 50 is way above the AFL average.

Sadly we shouldn't assume anything, we know better than that. Each of the next 3 games is it's own challenge for this side. I'm not looking at 11-5 yet, just 9-5 to start

Our backline , especially the deeper backs, certainly didn't hold up. Port went inside 50 only 39 times, normally under pressure from our mids. They had an efficiency inside 50 of 62%, way above the average which across the comp sits very close to 50%.

A "hater" because I called him woeful?! He was good earlier in the year, he was woeful the past two weeks. Not alone though, look at the contrast in effort between JV and JH. Or am I a JH hater too?

Kidding right? He was woeful

Not the point. Oscar was woeful, all could see that

Where's Hogan?? Pea heart

Wish Max had have kicked straight Rd1 ?

Just heard on 7 news Mitch Hannan in doubt. Hadnt heard anything along these lines? Anyone ?

We are expecting a lot I'd say. If he's building from this I'm more than happy Season Rnd Versus K H D M HO T Tackles FF FA G B SC Rat W/L 2018 R11 Western Bulldogs 10 11 21 4 0 3 0 1 1 0 6 79 Win 2018 R10 Adelaide 12 10 22 4 0 3 0 0 3 0 18 98 Win 2018 R9 Carlton 10 10 20 5 0 2 0 0 1 0 6 79 Win

Funniest thing I have read on here, brilliant :)

Yep, $11 to miss the 8 prior to the Collingwood match last year. Let's just keep winning and discuss when betting on us is suspended ?

My point is that maybe the team/s they played didn't allow them to play well. Isn't that what the opponents role is? Don't get me wrong I get both sides of the argument about where the team is at. You can make a case for both. I'm pretty in the middle as to where we fit at the moment. Based on stats over the last 5 weeks we're flying. If we bank this week and then QB, will the doubters buy in or will we still not have played anyone of note? Not sure.
