I think we've got a talented core group but if its to win a flag there still needs to be a lot of changes. We need a complete forwardline revamp and they need to sort out WTF they are doing with the midfield and wing positions. Clubs have completely figured us out this year, our contested ball obsession has killed us. Every coach in the comp would know you're fine to concede the ball to Melbourne because you're very likely to get it back, and they don't defend well as a team.
Agree 100%

You lot got a taste of sort of success last year . Yeah we got mugged at WC in the pre lim , not sure too many team would have beaten them anyway , but i am stunned that we didn't review the pre-lim and figured out that most teams had worked us out. It is pretty obvious what our issues are , i read it on these posts most of this seasons. If we can see it , why can't the coaches?

That's my biggest concern, it's just so obvious what the issues are, yet there is seemingly some sort of stubborn determination that this game style is absolutely the right one, and things will magically improve without fixing any of the glaring deficiencies that are driving everyone insane.

Champion data can suck but stuff like that is a great insight. It shows how far our obsession with pure contested ball numbers has made us fall
I love how contested ball is be all end all for us. Said it once before but if we win 1 contested ball but a rubbish handpass misses and our players then need to go in and win it again to do the same again then a s**t kick and then win another contested ball. We've had 3 or 4 contested ball stats for rubbish disposal in 1 chain of possession. Where as another team will be losing contested ball because they move the ******* ball better. Contested ball stats only ******* matter if you can use the ball dont give a * if we win it cause of our own s**t disposal. Goodwin 'oh there was alot to like we won contested ball which we pride ourselves on' yeah cause we created 100 more contested ******* ball stats out of rubbish

Except you can't..
Only top 8 side Collingwood beat last year was us, and only top 8 sides they've beaten this year are Brisbane, Richmond and West Coast last week (if you use the same parameters as the post I quoted which excluded finals).

So theyve beaten the 3 teams battling them for a spot in the top 4?

Last year I agree with but 3 wins against the top 8 is pretty decent this year.

Crazy they were almost premiers last year with that record

If only this thread had happened a week ago and it would have been 2 wins against top 8 ):

Very similar characteristics, especially the constant qouting of words from the club like they were gospel

I don’t reckon it was the Dr. similar characteristics but a higher rate of things that made some sense (still low at 25%)

The real question is who is Dr. Truth

Knew it was him after he talked about 'working at club level'. The dickhead volunteered to help with some pleb jobs and thinks he is top s**t because of it.

Dr Whooo made some reasonable posts on here to start as well then slowly descended into madness.

I don't remember the reasonable posts and there was nothing slow about that spiral towards insanity. I'm sure if you go back and read some of the threads you can watch the signs develop post by post.
