Ahh never put anyone on ignore. Even the most annoying of us have some good points occasionally. Look at me.

Who did you quote? I have them on ignore.Ahh never put anyone on ignore. Even the most annoying of us have some good points occasionally. Look at me.
It’s been a frustrating first half of the season with a lot of frustrating games.
We’ve lost a lot of games we should have won (Bulldogs, Fremantle, Hawks) but we’ve also won games we probably should have lost (Port, St Kilda). Then there’s the okay performances we won/loss (Collingwood, Geelong, Carlton) and then two bad games (Bris and Rich). North probably the only game which we played really well.
We’ve had a lot of players injured and hard to get consistency with our best team. Somewhat related to injuries we have a lot of players playing below expectations (Thilthorpe, Murray, Soligo, Keays etc).
We have made some terrible selection choices and some terrible game plan choices.
And after all of that, we are only 1 win/loss difference at the bye vs last year.
If Curtin can find touch and get into the midfield which is what excited everyone so much preseason, Thilthorpe can get back to form after an extended break, and the other players lift + Keane back, I don’t think this season is lost.
I don’t think we’re winning the flag this year but a strong second half and a final win or two would be a huge positive and not completely impossible.
Unfortunately I think it starts with a loss to the Cats after the bye but I can see us beating WB, Mel, Port, West Coast and Suns. Lose to Sydney then an easier stretch of Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond before a difficult final 2 games.
It’s not all doom and gloom and think the team can turn it around. But will want to get a move on.
