Opinion End of 2014 ladder

[Silgni]

1. Hawthorn - Remain dominant
2. Sydney - Quality team, Buddy won't help a lot but will hardly be a burden
3. Richmond - Will challenge the top teams, not that they haven't already
4. Essendon - Super team with less distractions in 2014
5. Geelong - Time to drop off a little although they still have a decent young group
6. Fremantle - Interchange cap tires the dockers and weakens their defensive game plan
7. Collingwood - Elite midfield, strong attack, still a force
8. North Melbourne - More maturity, less chokes, easier draw
------------------
9. Adelaide - Performance in the forward half should improve
10. Port Adelaide - Good team but a difficult draw may cause them to drop
11. Gold Coast - Set for their finals breakthrough in 2015
12. Carlton - Just can't envisage improvement
13. West Coast - Matches at Patersons should keep them off the bottom
14. W. Bulldogs - Could be good but rather inconsistent
15. Brisbane - Player exodus suggests that players aren't confident in their future
16. St Kilda - Dal Santo probably left for a reason
17. Melbourne - Roos will improve the side but not yet
18. GWS - More than 1 win

Fremantle made the GF last year and Brisbane were a bees dick away from finals...

Fremantle made the GF last year and Brisbane were a bees dick away from finals...

You highlighted Fremantle yourself I have nothing against that statement..

Brisbane has another pre-season under their belt.. and this happens? That difference is disgusting 8 months apart.


Also 3 other teams were a bee's dick away so don't even try to make up excuses. You were last out of the 3 via percentage anyway. The only great thing Brisbane has done since choking against Port in 04 was winning in an upset victory against Geelong.

We were literally 2 points away from finals

Well that's a lie because Carlton's win percentage would've kept you down.

In the last round they won by 1 we lost by 1, if we had of won and they'd have lost we were in. 3 points if you must

And Adelaide & Kangaroos still won, they wouldve gone higher then you aswell? Percentage again. Brisbane lose either way. You would've needed all 3 to lose and somehow have to atleast jump up 30% unlikely sorry not sorry

Well since Adelaide and North did win I think that argument is invalid.

Carlton should have lost except for a miracle comeback at Port Adelaide. The only uncertainty leading into the round was Brisbane beating Geelong which almost and should have happened... Paul Chapman agrees

your argument sucks bad i never said adl and north lost? port purposely lost, Adelaide agrees. Brisbane sucks, hawthorn agrees.

So you edited your post?

Hawthorn also agrees that Geelong sucks

If Port don't choke and the umpires umpire as they should according to the players then we are in the finals like it or not

15th at best. your team went from 4 years old too 2 in one trade period. bulldogs and Gold Coast are now ahead of you.

By losing 5 reserve players who left because they couldn't get a game?

By losing 5 reserve players who left because they couldn't get a game?

teams generally average 5 injuries to main players (top 28) lol some teams have 10 injuries a time don't they, your team is younger nevertheless losing reserves or not, then you have old players like brown who should've retired a year ago.. he's terrible compared to people like pavlich, n.riewoldt.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

They were struggling to get in the top 28, they often weren't the first ones chosen when there were injuries

 

[lmach]

Yeo definitely wasn't a reserve player.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Other than Yeo who played a majority of the games, and Longer who played as a back up ruckman when needed, the others would have played a hand full of games each if not between them over the year

 

[Rainfall]

licorice Why try change your opinion when someone else posts? i told you to stop making up excuses

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I didn't, just further proved it
