Preference in order: 1. Giants 2. Swans 3. Lions 4. Dogs 5. Cats 6. Port 7. Hok 8. Blues

Imagine how much better our side would be if Luke Jackson in it? I think his loss to our side has been immeasurable since 2021… If only he didn’t miss the family Sunday roast…reckon we would have won the 2023 QF final against the Pies with Luke Jackson and we wouldn’t have gone chasing Grundy.

As May said they weren’t that good.

Imagine an alternate 2024 for the soon to be minor premiers the Swans. Before the season begins: - Dean Cox resigns to coach Richmond. - Back up ruckman Ladhams requests a trade to an interstate club. - Nick Blakey retires after repeated concussions. - Issac Heeney, Hayden McLean and Dane Rampe all have compromised preseasons. Then… - Oliver Florent breaks his collarbone in Opening Round and misses 2 months. - Corey Warner injures his Achilles and is out for the season. - Logan McDonald injures his knee after 5 games and doesn’t play senior footy again. - Taylor Adams is badly out of form with just 2 senior games all year. - Harry Cunningham has knee surgery mid-season and looks hampered for the rest of the year. - Errol Gulden has a season ending Grade 5 lacerated spleen, four broken ribs, and a punctured lung. Gulden’s management later leaks that he would leave the club if he wasn’t contracted. - Tom Papley had a disappointing season kicking half as many goals with half as many disposals than usual. - John Longmire is hospitalised with a serious skin infection mid season. - Tom McCartin is hospitalised after breaking his ribs in Round 21. - Issac Heeney plays with a broken hand and a PCL injury for most of the season but still ends up with a top 10 finish in the Bob Stilkton Medal. - Sam Wicks requests a trade to Adelaide for family reason. Does any of this sound familiar? Any other club would have had a season as bad as Richmond or North had they suffered the misfortunes we’ve endured all year especially with injury. Whatever the media narrative would have us believe - all things considered we’ve had a relatively successful year being in contention for finals up until the last few games and 11 wins. Here’s hoping we nail our preseason and the footy gods smile on us in 2025. Up the Red Leggers!

Is this the last podcast for the year? Or are we doing a season wash up?

Get Jared Rivers in!

His goal in the 2nd Quarter of the GF when nothing was going our way was so clutch. Blessed to have him in the Red and Blue for 45 games. All the best BBB - forever a premiership Demon!

Huge result to be the only interstate team to down the Suns up there. We’ve now won 11 games so far this season when the footy gods have thrown everything at us including the kitchen sink. The 4 games we’ve lost by under a goal this year have been costly: Lions by 5, Power and Giants by 2 points and Blues by 1 point. If we’d won just 2 of these we’d probably be playing finals. If we won all 4 of these games, we’d be in the Top 4 or even Top 2. I think many other sides would be far lower than 12th this season if they had the kind of year we’ve had. Up the Red Leggers!

We’ll have all the neutrals on Friday night!

Wow the AFL really wanted the Pies to be a chance for the 8. Umpires slaughtered the Lions in the last.

So we are twice as good as the Bombers as we beat Essendon and Gold Coast beat them too 😂

The second Freo game. We just couldn’t get anywhere near the ball and looked cooked. The game had massive West Coast 2018 Prelim vibes 😑.

The wash up of this season will no doubt show even more players carrying injuries. Glad Clarry can get the medical help he needs and be right for a good preseason. Speaks volumes of Claz to be playing as well as he has this season without a preseason and carrying major injuries. Best of luck with a speedy recovery!

Seems like these tools sat on their leak and waited for Tom Morris to be proud of himself with the Trac ‘story’ before launching for maximum damage. The media are a pack of [censored].

Mac Andrew would be a pretty useful player in our forward line…

Can we get Burgess to come back?

So much material they could use as a front page and the AFL choose to have a go at us like this. Gutter journalism. Didn’t see this kind of hatchet job when the Tigers got 19k for a Giants game…

And that’s why we’re better off playing the Giants or Suns away or in Alice. This is more about the AFL [censoring] us by fixturing us [censored] home game against interstate teams at the G on prime time. We lose financially from this but it’s the AFL’s fault.

There were supposedly rumours about May and Lever being injured prior to the game. Does the panel think we’ve got any players carrying injuries into games (circa 2022) other than perhaps Max Gawn? It seems to be this part of the season where so many players are carrying niggles or injuries they can play through but must remedy at the close of the season.

.

Ladder doesn’t lie. Weren’t not frauds - we’re just not that good. We lost one of our best players before the season started, had multiple key players have shocking preseasons, been ravaged by injury, played the kids every game and clearly not got our fitness right.

At least we aren’t frauds like Essendon this year. We’re exactly where we deserve to be. The ladder doesn’t lie.

Goodbye Season 2024

I miss Petracca 😞

Stop them using the corridor ffs
