Wise, not getting ahead of yourself and declaring they must all be 10 goal hidings - just happy to get all the wins.

Think they've had a good trade period so far.
I didn't see the Cats as a finals team in 2019. I still don't.
That aside, the Geelong Top-ups aren't the topic here.
We were overrated going into '19 and then all hell broke out with the no. 1 worst team hit by injuries, a tougher draw and a list that had been built over 5 years to bully teams with inside strength. 666 changed that significantly and football has become a sport where you need to value possession again. I don't think it's a bad thing generally, but completely screwed us the way we were building.

For some reason I predicted them to finish top 4 and maybe win the flag this year, mostly due to their ladder position in 2018. However, I don't rate them as a team at all. Some very, very good individual players, but don't really look like a uniform outfit that clicks into gear.
I think they will improve, but there looks to be a need of decent and confident leadership.

An yet we nearly beat you twice
The only thing we can't win is AFLX, which we are the reigning champions of, and that's because they got rid of it in 2020.

You were winning by like 4 goals going into the last quarter and threw it away. Classic tanking.

Not sure if serious?
Do you really think the playing group are going to be thinking/worrying about a pick swap next season. I can guarantee you, they wont give a s**t.
It is supposed to be mildly amusing.

They will be where Melb have always located themselves in the last 50+ years and that is firmly entrenched as the representative of the MCC (all rep no show, should have beaten Fitzroy to the door) and the eternal misery of suburban deeess fans mixed with short spurts of carry on and fist pumping when Johnny Listclogger kicks a goal from 35m on the boundary in front of 11K crowd at the G playing North in July.

Pretty confident theyll be playing finals footy again next year. Maybe they got ahead of themselves last year, and the reality check will do them the world of good. They'll have a very soft draw next year, I reckon they could do some damage.

I can only support and follow a s**t club in these dire 50+ years.
But please tell me how you personally helped your club over the lines the last 3 years?
Are you another smug Richmond supporter, who now has high importance at work because you can tell everyone how WE won the flag?

Yes you can, although not quite the 50+ I can tell you I made a pretty good fist of 40+
I only participated in RFC activity financially these last 40+ years, unique yet the same as everyone else. The same as you no doubt at MFC. I certainly had no impact on the last 3 other than what I have for the years before and that is at the til.
Smug yes of course 2 out of 3 aint bad. But please use the correct derogatory term for a tigers fan that has been around the traps for a while and that is we eat our own, spit on and sack coaches and are bunch of tin rattlers. Bah.
The key thing I get from this is not knowing after 50 years the caricature of the MFC personality. Accept the cartel of the MCC and their imperious yet insignificant role, the fist pumpers. (Mr Robertson look at you) They will hold you in good stead like the baby eating tigers fans of now.
Their draw will be the same as North’s in terms of difficulty. Would be nice to get them twice, to help cement them as low as possible for the draft pick.

Yeah that is a new one. When you have nothing go back to the well of originality.

The Dees are an interesting one and could quite easily return to finals action and play a significant part in proceedings. They could also have a repeat performance of 2019 where they're more up and down than Mr Steinbrenner without his calzone ( Mr Steinbrenner period )
On a serious note they weren't as bad as their record suggests, or were they? They had narrow wins against the Gold Coast, Carlton and Hawthorn, and several close losses including one to Adelaide which they completely botched. Had WCE for the taking in both games only to throw them away and also kicked poorly against Collingwood late on.
This post is allover the place, very much like the Dees.
