Preview Battle for last finals spots ... how it shapes up

[Silvagnis]

I've given it to ratten all season but considering where that we are on the verge of an unlikely finals berth (with a bit of luck) those comments are just plain ignorant.bag There's several reasons to bag the bloke but your not even close.And to say its a soft draw is ridiculous because the draw doesn't count when your playing 6,7,8 even10 men out.Youv'e again proven that you have nfi about afl

I'm not bagging anyone.

I might care if your comment wasn't the height of irony.

The first half of the year will matter as much as the second half. Games against GWS (shocking lack of effort), Port, Adelaide, St Kilda, Hawthorn and Norf matter as much as the following games...

Hawthorn - belted us
Collngwood - great upset win with a man down
North - belted us
Bulldogs - rabble
Swans - smashed us at our own game with their contested possession and newfound legspeed
Richmond - win at the death against an average team
Brisbane - scrappy win against a side that upset Adelaide at home
Bombers - shot
GC - young side
St Kilda - look shot with Riewoldt, Fisher and Koschitzke looking likely to miss

Isn't a convincing formline in anyone's language.

So only those that don't have an opinion know what they are talking about?

Our knowledge of the running of the club and the players attitude to Ratts is on par with our knowledge of the recruiting side of the club. All the ranting online about Ratts is just a yawn fest and shit fest. Only care what the club does and says. Right or wrong.

I think Freo will win, and comfortably.

I have a very bad feeling that North have gotten ahead of themselves.

North have a bit to play for...Scott seems pretty level headed, plus the Etihad factor

Does making the finals count as a tick or a cross for Ratten if we "fall in" by beating the Dogs, Richmond, Brisbane, Essendon, GC and St Kilda?

Generous draw on paper

Why would you look at our draw in isolation like this - takes a full season to make the 8.

That is poor form TG, you've got one of the strongest one sided opinions in here and you expect to lecture us on our lack of understanding. .. Tis a forum designed to let us fans interact and express our ideas. .. I think the shit hung on Rafts is crap too but I'll happily pick up my bat and ball, keep playing and exploring everyone's opinions. .. In the end the club makes the decision and we support but I won't stop having my personal thoughts on things. ..

Are you saying we have had a shit year and the coach may or may not be responsible and no one really knows what the Club or the players think so we will see what happens when the Club makes the decision ?
