Seems we've just crossed from on field irrelevance to relevant.

Yes. However no one will believe it until we make a semi or pre lim.Seems we've just crossed from on field irrelevance to relevant.

The goalposts keep shifting with this and will continue to do so all year.our game against carlton in 3 weeks will be the biggest indicator of where we’re at imo.
big stage vs an inform team
Brad Scott is a gun.
In hindsight - getting North to a prelim was a feat of unimaginable brilliance.

Would be funny if your first finals win took out port and got them to sack Hinkley.The goalposts keep shifting with this and will continue to do so all year.
Originally it was rebounding from a horrific performance against Port by beating the Bulldogs … comfortably.
Then taking that form on the road to a venue we were embarrassed at a fortnight earlier.
Then it was on the big stage on ANZAC Day. Didn’t win but did everything possible besides that final set shot.
Then the calls that we wouldn’t back it up on the road against a ‘lesser’ opponent
Yesterday against the Giants, playing in one of their star players 300th and who were at full strength (minus Callum Brown) was seen as the ‘big test’. Passed that one.
Now it will be getting over the banana peel games of NM and Richmond.
Then it will be Carlton.
I don’t have delusions of grandeur that a finals drought will end this season but it will eventually, one day, and then it will be “Oh… but you’ve only won 1 final in X years! You need to win insert number here to be legit!” …
It won’t stop all year. The fact we didn’t win finals in like 2009 means we are crap. All so selective yet sooo relevant to 2024.
I would still prefer to beat Carlton in front of 95,000 at the G but Sackley happening would be pretty funny tooWould be funny if your first finals win took out port and got them to sack Hinkley.
It's going to happen at some stage. The finals win and Hinkley's departure.Would be funny if your first finals win took out port and got them to sack Hinkley.
Me neither given it’s now 2024It's going to happen at some stage. The finals win and Hinkley's departure.
I'm not foolish enough though to suggest it will be 2023.
Oops...Me neither given it’s now 2024
well today the Eagles lost to the magpies 103-37. So Eagles form is extreme on both ends. at their best they can beat some teams. At their worst? Look at their losses in 2022 and 2023.I think having seen Eagles over the last 5 or so weeks - its obvious that when they have most of their players fit and available they really aren't a bad team but they fall away very quickly in terms of depth. So the teams that caught Eagles in this last month and a bit had a much sterner challenge than I suspect will be the case at other times of the year.
Dockers are a hard team to place. They've been patchy and right now its hard to evaluate them as anything other than a 6-10 range team. Forward line does not seem on the same level as their defense and midfield.

The only time the lid should be off is when the grand final is won.Lid should be off. F*** the modesty, embrace arrogance.
You're irrelevant until you’re playing in GFs and winning flags.
Seeing anything else as “success” is a failure in itself.
Richmond didn't win a final from 2001 until 2017stepping stones. win a final and then go from there. No team goes from not winning finals to winning a GF.
I think there's more than 1 relevant team each year.
until we jag a final, it all means nothing.
