Opinion The Race for Pick #1 - It's ours (almost... again....)

[Royal Flush]

When you say a winning mindset we are talking about 1 extra/less win

that doesn’t change culture

now if you’re talking about say 5 or 6 extra wins then fair enough

From a supporters perspective yes.
But how many of the next 4 games are we supposed to loose?

From am elite competitors perspective, every training session, every moment in a game counts.
Even what you do in your personal life counts.

[The Nostradamus]

Of the last 4 games I think only one is winnable

potentially Richmond also but with their season on the line at the G where we barely play I’d expect them to get us

So we have a win tomorrow,
What do we next, to get this Horne fella?

If we win tomorrow we’d be good enough to win all 4 but we aren’t and wont

Easy call to make.
But I reckon our boys are keen and hungry for a win.
What they have endured the last few years, id say they're going for the kill and Horne wouldn't cross their minds

Lol there’s insanity and passion. This is bordering insanity. No one goes out to lose. If we had a full strength side, or even close to one, we’d get within a couple of kicks or even pinch a win with luck. We aren’t there yet. We are nowhere near it. The future is bright and we will bask in it soon enough

This squad is building confidence with each game.

Each game they are learning how to control the tempo. Which is hard to teach on a white board.

Being a nothing season, for us, this is perfect preparation for the real thing, when it starts in 22.

The way we move the ball, is scintillating, and whether it's 22 or 23, this style of footy along with intensity we will see us have 5 game winning streaks.

Anyway, big chance tomorrow chops us at the knees and brings us back down to earth.
But hey, that's valuable experience too.

There is no way, a systematic throwing of a game(s)will occur.

This is fantasy football for the fans only.

As a fan, Id prefer to keep our record as 1972.

Pitty you can't read when your high.

You're asking me as a punter?

I said the boys are going out to win.
They're not thinking about Horne.

“Going for the kill”

you live in alternate universe. Perhaps you should slip some of that LSD my way. That “going for the kill” will soon shift into chasing arse all day

 

[Royal Flush]

“Going for the kill”

What are you talking about?
You of all people questioning my sentence structure?

You shouldn't be playing football, if your not prepared to die trying to beat the best team in the comp.

If we do get Horne and he ends up being a 13-15 disposal .5 goal a game HFF you will be the first to jump ship.

JFC people talking about getting ahead of ourselves after a few wins? How about some around here proclaiming someone who has yet to play an AFL game as a guaranteed superstar??

If we get Horne, fantastic. But there is usually more than 1 good player per draft, and they are generally don't tend to be the number 1 pick either.

That’s garbage. I’ve never turned on anyone in my life. Anyone I’ve ever not rated, I’ve not rated on first sight, and it’s very very rarely young players.

Winning culture. Never ever ever go down easy.

I don't mind resting a few guys, but I hope whoever is left is busting a gut to get the W.

Biggest furphy ever this winning culture. It’s a nonsense.

Be 5-0 next year if you want to prove you have a winning culture.

Have you ever played sport? Everytime U go out, try to win. That's it.

Have a feeling we will get a taste fo reality this weekend.

We're heading in the right direction but the Cats are the real deal right now.

How do you not rate someone on first sight and it not be a young player?

 

[Caracas]

Make no mistake, all our players are playing for their personal futures as well. Anyone who takes it easy threatens their own individual success. If we were to tank, it would be a case of playing guys out of position or sending players for early operations. Having said that, if we arrive at R23 needing to lose to ensure we get our favoured pick… let’s just say we might see a rerun of R23, 2015 at selection time. Comben, Ham and Edwards would definitely be lining up.

Where would he have been picked if the TAC wasnt disrupted? He may be in Ratelaide colours.. I just made myself sick to be honest

We would have happily taken Thilthorpe if Adelaide picked Phillips.
Don’t worry about passing on McDonald, Thilthorpe will be twice the player.

 

[Fish Sticks]

Make no mistake, the coach & players are giving it their absolute all to win every week, it’s human nature!
It’s whether the board, with the help of selectors & medical staff want to reduce our chances of winning by resting players that would normally play if we were in finals contention.

 

[Fish Sticks]

I want Horne as much as the next bloke (that sounds slightly more homoeroctic than intended)
Our midfield is stacked though. If we are getting Kelly () I can’t see how Horne gets many midfield minutes for the first couple of years ahead of Cunners, Simpkin, LDU, Thomas, Phillips, Powell & Kelly.
We might be better served winning some games to keep the momentum & good vibes going & picking up Gibcus with pick 4-5.

Great, im sure our young guys will be itching at the bit to see how far they've come.

Goater sounds like the type that whoever doesn’t pick him in years to come will be spewing. Sounds like, Bomy. I know nothing of course, but it’s always good to pick one and see what happens down the track. He’s 190 plus or something. Would luv a big bodied mid. Although TT may become that anyway.
l‘ve read a few question marks on why Horne isnt playing midfield in SANFL. Will he play midfield in AFL.
Thoughts of others would be great. Souup ? Anyone?
