Prediction Next 4 Games

[Avalor]

Norf should be a win at OS, i'd give them a snif if it ends up in tassie or some backwater VIC country ground.
Adelaide at AO is no gimme, say its a loss.

Saints at OS is no gimme anymore, but should win it
Collingwood at MGC, loss
Melboune at OS, loss
Freo, win
Lions at Gabba, loss.

thats only 11 wins so good chance of us not even making the 8 gaiz.

More likely not.

Next 4 games ??? ...The way the team is going atm they would struggle to beat North Beach in the amateur league

 

[Cuzz09]

I am 5-0 when going to see us at Adelaide Oval.

We play Adel @ AO next week

Do I stay away and enjoy my flawless record or go and sit through what could be sickening.

We won’t win another game until Adam Simpson is sacked and senior players realise they can’t cruise anymore.

Yeah

Let's offer Clarko 2 million a year

Yeah

Why not?

Roos was receiving $1.5 million to coach Melbourne.

Are we here to win premierships or be a club where everyone holds hands and sings, 'Kumbaya My Lord'?

I think our premiership ratio is very good TBH.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

I don’t.

 

[Tugga27]

I don’t.

Most clubs would be over the moon to win a flag every 8 years.
Interstate clubs even more so.

Well it seems like most of us are fantasists.

From the poll, 87% of us had the Eagles winning 3 or 4 out of 4.

3 had already seen the writing on the wall and have written Simpson off altogether.

We're talking about grand finals since the club formed.

Winning 4 flags in the AFL era is not mediocre. Only one team has won more since we joined.

 

[KERRPOW]

Im getting sick of these ****ing late sunday games

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

I forgot how boring you are, which is why I had you on ignore. Time to reactivate that function.

 

[06Premiers]

Im getting sick of these ******* late sunday games

As much as I agree, I'd take a late Sunday over ****ing Monday night.

 

[KERRPOW]

We need to go 3-1 and realistically i think thats achievable.

LEL

 

[flyinghi64]

Well other results are going to our way. Port and Brissy losing.
If only we could win a bloody game, geez

If we, the most successful club in the AFL era, are mediocre then the average must be very ****ing high.

Understandably people are pretty flat with the club at the moment, but to pretend we are anything other than the benchmark of success in this league is indulgent self pity and wallowing for the sake of it.

Still average with the quality of players we have had.

I see you have conveniently left out the 1987, 1988 and 1989 seasons.

Anyway, 4 divided by 21 = 19%. I am not sure 19% has been the benchmark for anything in society.

Hawthorn, Richmond and Brisbane all have better premiership conversions from finals appearances.

I haven’t conveniently left out anything. It’s the AFL era. I can go back to 1857 if you’d like, though our numbers won’t change much.

Premierships from finals conversion rate is an odd benchmark. It’s better to miss finals for 29 years but then win a flag in the 30th for a 100% conversion rate?

Hawthorn were on the brink of being merged out of existence, Brisbane have been as bad as any club in football for the majority of their existence bar a dominant five year window (more wooden spoons than flags for what it’s worth) and Richmond…jeez let’s not. Richmond were a punchline for 25 years before coming good in the last few, to the tune of…fewer flags than we have. By no metric has Richmond had a better 30 years than we have, recency bias aside.

We make finals more than anyone - that’s a good yardstick for being a quality team.

We win flags more often than all teams bars one. Since we’ve existed, we’ve won more flags than eight teams combined. Talk to their fanbases about their definition of mediocrity.

By any metric that makes actual sense, we’ve been as dominant as anyone since inception.

Wanting more isn’t a bad thing. Pretending what we’ve delivered has been sub par is embarrassing.

Yes the bar is very high for the eagles. But we've missed opportunities to finish 5th the last 2 years because of reasons tirelessly discussed at nausium. So i do believe we have underachieved with the list we had since 2018, we should have at least played in a prelim

We are one of the more successful clubs, and that fosters a sense of entitlement in its supporter base. Would be interesting to see how successful the club would be if we entered a decade or 2 of carlton like rabble?

Maybe then i could finally get a seated membership.
