Absolutely.Nobody is writing off Gws, only an idiot would as they have elite talent across all lines. If we lose, I'll be disappointed but not heartbroken. To play 3 prelims, winning 2 and making 2 grand finals in 3 seasons is a huge achievement imo
Tigers have been the best team of the last 3 years and the best team since the bye round this year.
The way the game is now with equalisation, the draft etc you probably only have a window of 4 or 5 seasons to 'snag a flag'.
I was hopeful that the Pies could do it this year but cest la vie. Making a Prelim is a pass mark for a season I reckon - no shame in that.
It's funny I posted a few years ago when the Pies were struggling and rebuilding that I believed the Pies best chance would be in 2020.
Hopefully my prediction will be correct. We should still be there or thereabouts next year.
A GF loss and a Prelim loss - still a good effort, both losses could have gone either way too - proud of my team and the type of footy they play - hopefully we can win a flag with this group.
