The concerning part is where did this arrogance come from? Two 5th place finishes on the ladder and finals exits in a row?
Are you joking? Its been the problem since the flag.

How am I joking? I'm pretty sure we're agreeing with each other. We've been extremely poor since the flag, relative to how we should have performed.Are you joking? Its been the problem since the flag.

I'd say finishing 9th should have it burning in their guts over the offseason to come in next year really fired up.
But if the failures of the past two years haven't had that effect, then why should we expect next season to be any different?
Finishing in the 8 is a mental pass mark, even though the reality is 2019 and 2020 were failures.I'd say finishing 9th should have it burning in their guts over the offseason to come in next year really fired up.

After yesterday we have Nic, Yoe, Shuey, JD, Cripps and Gaff all we need is a committed team around them.
Many unknowns, such as will Allen really be a great FF, but we must get a good mid or two with class and pace, and a KPP player. The draft will not be enough.
Plenty of dead wood dressed up as likable depth with 50 games or so.
Overall we are not fit. Belly fat on many players is a measure to the S&C staff but also on the attitude of players.
I get the impression life is far to happy and contented going through the motions in the Perth bubble for many.
The AFL umpiring has been terrible but we seem to have driven over a black cat.
The positive for me is the reality check of missing finals. We've known for ages that we need to make changes to gameplan, selection and conditioning but the club kept backing in the old way. I would've thought losing an elimination final last year would have done it, but it seems pretty clear that there's nowhere to hide now they've missed the 8. The shame of finishing 9th must burn too.
We started to see some changes to gameplan over the last two weeks, so clearly they've got the message. I'm excited to see what comes out next year.
If I look back over the season, there's only two games I might watch. 1. Our demolition of Port (the only top 8 team we beat all year) and 2. The Richmond comeback which was so much fun to attend live
I truly hope any new gameplan we implement is based around winning ground ball contests as a priority/non-negotiable along with effective tackling.
Agreed.Are you joking? Its been the problem since the flag.

He is very promising but his quota of three brain fades each game has cost us a couple of close games. Cole steps up in Bne to take his place so he is moving forward.
As opposed to the brain fades by sheed, barrass and pretty much everyone else every game that they get away with.
He's a young player...they make mistakes
hell be 24 by the time we start the new season this isnt young.
