Preview Finals.......

[carn tigez]

So I'm not saying we're gonna make it (the bookies seem to think so), but if we do, we have an uncanny knack of getting as far as the prelim....

Serious question though, when was the last time we made finals without getting to the prelim? Before 1980, but how much before, and how many finals series have we appeared in consecutively since not making it that far?

Something to get excited about

Nothing to see here

BOLD move posting a thread on this board with the "F" word in it...

Haha was expecting a reaction like this, had an "Autopsy" prefix but decided to go with the more controversial "Preview". Live dangerously. Can someone answer the question though?

 

[Underarm]

Well that settles it. Wooden spoon for us...

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Newy was reported to say that we are not even close to final materials yet.

He has to say that, what else is he gonna say?

The bookies have us at $1.50, and this market is determined by the general football public's views combined with form. And I never said we will make finals. Might be worth reading the OP

1977 Lost to North in the First Semi

Guess I should. I blame my automatic reaction.

Thanks mate. Did we make finals in 78 or 79?

I was very happy with Newman's response

​

Nope finished 7 in 78 and 8 in 79 (top 5 made finals)​

Here's another stat for all you younger Tigerheads.

We have not appeared in consecutive finals appearances since our last back to back premiership seasons of '73 & '74.

'74 and '75. We finished 4th in '75

Reached the prelim but got done by Nth by 17.

Just because of this thread the AFL will introduce a promotion/demotion system, and not only will be miss finals, we will be playing VFL next year while Coburg makes finals in the AFL

Haha what?

 

[DontArgue4]

Haha what?

haha may have taken it too far just highlighting the fact that whenever we say the F word, it goes pear shaped for us

Which would be every year...

Stuff prelims lol, I just want one final that I have been waiting 12 long years for. Cannot imagine a better place to be than at the g in september watching the tiges play in front of 100,000 fans. It's been that long I can't remember what that feels like

You'll probably find that the first year we make finals... we'll be playing in Perth.

 

[tigerdan]

It will be a huge final series if Richmond, Essendon Carlton and Collingwood all make it.

 

[sante]

What are finals?
