We aren’t a serious contender. Making finals just to be smashed doesn’t even come close to making you a contender.except that we can still contend next year?

I know it’s a simple idea but I love the high ceiling high floor analogy - I hadn’t thought of it that way- cheers

Not true. We were a serious contender all season. We died in the arse with injuries and illness at the end, but even rd 23, we got 44 points up on the eventual Premiers. With some better luck and list management, we could easily contend again, or we could finish 10th.We aren’t a serious contender.

Why bother with the season? Why not just tune in for GF's that feature Geelong. Or better still, watch a replay when Geelong win a flag.
Only premierships count, so why waste your time with all the rest.
If you like being humiliated, then sure. I find it much more enjoyable when we are competitive, and not road kill.Still gives you a lot of enjoyable games of football to go to.

Knightmare currently has us grabbing Leek Aleer with #32 in his mock draft.
Surely a guy that size, that floats in the air, reads the incoming ball and takes d50 intercept grabs doesn't slide past even our first pick.
What was your view on the Doggies’ season? Seeing as they were humiliated too.If you like being humiliated, then sure. I find it much more enjoyable when we are competitive, and not road kill.

Mature agers rarely go first round historically so #32 is a real chance.
Then again this draft lacks depth in talls so that might convince a team to take him early.
Leek looks like a one trick pony. If has no marking what can he be for us? Another sav type ute ruck?
I’d love to see a comparison to Aliir Aliir before he was drafted, albeit a year or two younger Aliir. Very similar traits and game styles. Aliir only pick 44, and Sydney never completely sold on him up until they moved him on. Was good this year for Port. Might be a decent chance of making it Leek with some further training.Leek looks like a one trick pony. If has no marking what can he be for us? Another sav type ute ruck?
He is anything but an idiot. Most supporters would think his ideas sound very balanced. An eye on now, and an eye on tomorrow, as it should be after this. sustained period of "success" that we have experienced.hocking is an idiot
we have a decade and a half of success almost 2 decades, and one could argue an injury or two would have doubled the premiership haul
if he wants to run a club through carlton like turmoil so be it
but there is no reason to look at those models and envy them
clark constanble are simply not good enough
cocky was a reach and backfired - throw lever into our defensive setup and its beyond elite
You mean the same dogs that won 3 finals, and just ended up getting over run in the 4th?What was your view on the Doggies’ season? Seeing as they were humiliated too.
Remember that game vividly- was in India working and having a break, and listening on the internet. Trying to imagine how great it was . The commentators on KRock kind of predicted the ultimate result which was even better.The after the siren winning goal from 2E at KP in front of a large home crowd was really exciting. Who here wanted him to miss so that we could drop a rung or two? Do people really want to cheer on defeats? I want my team to win every game.

We celebrate winning one final and being absolutely rogered in the other 2 lol.
