What happened to the rest of them?Is that before or after I brush my tooth?
If Cripps gets back to 100% I'll cry in happiness on our way to the top 4. That being said I'm preparing my tear glands for a 10th place finish and have a few buckets of leftover Gyprock to repair the holes in the walls of my living room that will follow.
If that's the case, it might be time to climb out of the bottom third of the ladder and prove the doubters wrong, yeah?If Cripps gets back to his best, we've got the best inside mid in the comp along with arguably the best all-round mid in the comp. Followed by the best KPF in the comp and one of the best KPD's in the comp.
sh*t list.
How’s your tooth this morning?If that's the case, it might be time to climb out of the bottom third of the ladder and prove the doubters wrong, yeah?

Must be a cultural thing, noticed Ed finished top 5
Do you actually enjoy making a fool of yourself ?If that's the case, it might be time to climb out of the bottom third of the ladder and prove the doubters wrong, yeah?
Of course he did. Teague's side with Teague votes in a sh*t side with few players having good years . I had him finishing 4th
I don't ever recall saying I don't believe they can make the top 8 at some stage over the next 2 or 3 seasons...Absolutely. You don't agree that a team with a spine of that caliber are good enough to make the 8?
Teague wasn't the only person that voted and Ed has finished top 5 in the BNF 7 of 9 years
What happened to the rest of them?
Given you've made two separate comments on this, you clearly didn't pick on the fact it was a joke...How’s your tooth this morning?
That’s nice

Are you really that interested in my assessment that you want me to repeat it for a third time?!?Haha that's such a vague prediction.
Do better.
Where do we finish in 2022, 2023 & 2024?
I'm not asking for an assessment. It's a simple answer.Are you really that interested in my assessment that you want me to repeat it for a third time?!?
No, I've also said you won't contend.I'm not asking for an assessment. It's a simple answer.
Make some specific predictions.
"You may make finals over the next 2-3 years" is so vague you can be proven right no matter the outcome.
If we make finals you are right.
If we make top 4 you are still right.
If we never make finals, in the end you're still right as your prediction of us being overall no good will have come to fruition.
You tend to make overarching statements that are vague and broad that can never really have a clear answer and therefore never be fully wrong. Clever in a way.
No, I've also said you won't contend.
Plenty of teams make top 4 but don't contend, whilst conversely, plenty of teams contend from outside the top 4 after the home and away season.
I actually can't think of a better way to state my prediction...
Nope, not at all.I'm assuming by contending you mean make a Grand Final?
Nothing new mate, you've been doing that all year.Are you really that interested in my assessment that you want me to repeat it for a third time?!?
I'm pleased to have contributed some reality to the thread.Hey look!
Collingwood's on top of the ladder...

You and MR have more posts in this thread than the top 2 Carlton posters.
Another compliment.Clever in a way.
Nope, not at all.
I have recently shared a list of who I believe were the contending teams for every year since 2000 in another thread.
As examples:
In 2000, noone was ever going to beat Essendon in 2000. In my view there were no other contenders.
In 2011, I had Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn as contenders.
In 2016, such was the evenness of the season (culminating in the Bulldogs winning from 7th), I thought there were 6 different contenders.
This year, I reckon the top 5 teams were all contenders, Brisbane probably borderline given their finals performances and the fact they only just snuck into the top four in the last round, but many rated them a chance heading into the finals series.
