An F! Bit harsh. We've beaten a couple of pretty handy sides this year. Maybe an E-.Kingy gave us an F in his mid season report card....bit of a comedown from Winning the Flag....
We’re a mathematical chance of making the finals. I’ve looked at our draw and I reckon we’ll end up on 8-9 wins.An F would only be valid if we were out of contention. We're still a chance of making the finals, would hardly call the season a write off yet.
The point I would make about King giving us an 'F' is that his working back from his expectation that we would win the premiership. So it's only natural that there would be an equally stupid overcorrection.
Is the reason we are getting an 'F" because we have been stuffing around for the last five weeks refusing to accept the inevitable, or is it because we're not sitting on top of the ladder? It's clearly something closer to the latter.
Don't mistake me for thinking that our season would rate more than a 'D' at this stage but it's for reasons that David King will need a year's worth of hindsight and some Champion Data statistics to figure out.
Completely agree with F. Season has been a hideous joke overall.
yeah, i’d take the D. i’d take that D anytime.I initially had us finishing 10th. So I guess if we continue our better form we will end up there and it will be a D
Losing to a winless Carlton who are still without a win after that is an automatic F for me. Fremantle was the only normal "I can take that" loss. The rest were all really bad performances.An F would only be valid if we were out of contention. We're still a chance of making the finals, would hardly call the season a write off yet.
In isolation the GWS and Geelong wins were glimpses of what this team CAN do if they bring it. The Brisbane win was rubbish and the rest of it has been crap from a team perspective. Absolute crap. The fact that we know they can play like they did against Geelong and GWS if they feel like it just makes it that more annoying. Our standards seem to be so low it's laughable.but we've had a few decent wins which pulls it back somewhat.

That's fine if you want to grade it that way, each to his own etc. For me, in the context of the season, those wins mean absolutely nothing except picking us all up the next few losses. It looks like we'll miss finals and that is most definitely an F for this group.Annoying, yes, but you don't mark the team down as if the games didn't happen. They did, and that's what brings it up couple of notches.

The very fact we're debating whether the season is a D or an F says it all really.
