Plenty of teams have dominated seasons then shat the bed on the big day. If this club doesn’t remember that then we have short memories.

Maybe this is the year the Swans surprise everyone? It's the first season in a while we come towards finals with no expectations.
Am I right in saying we are the last team to beat the tigers at the mcg?
Yes you are

Pretty crazy (maddening) to think how well we could have done this year if we hadn’t dropped so many winnable games against average opposition. Port Adelaide, Adelaide, North, Geelong and Gold Coast at home... Essendon at Etihad... even if we only won half of them we’d be equal with Richmond.
The inconsistency I am OK with. We’ve had a revolving door of injuries all year long plus a lot of inexperience so form will naturally fluctuate. But we blew a lot of them with our own inexplicable footy at times this year. Our boys really owe it to themselves to beat the Hawks and earn that top four spot that really should already be ours.

I can't shake the feeling that, injuries aside, Horse has once again managed to get us primed at the pointy end of the season. If we can win our remaining H&A game we could go in fourth and I'd back us as a pretty good chance against Richmond at the MCG. Get a few more players back and it'd be a huge bonus but the crew we have now could still do it with a bit of luck.
Are we finally getting some luck to go our way? hope so we deserve it.
It's pretty hard to build confidence if injuries are mounting. With players returning from injuries we get so many more options. Perhaps Reid and Rohan will get back soon enough to give some young forwards a rest.

Hope so
We got a bit yesterday but feels like plenty of times we have been down to the depth this time of year and been taken advantage of
Regardless of whether the Swans or Hawks win this weekend, I'd say they are the only two teams that would really concern the Tigers at the MCG. Both have quite a few players with finals experience too. I'd love to see the smug Tigers fans get a bloodied nose in the first round. They might even have to face GWS in the semis and possibly go out in straight sets. Wouldn't that be nice ?

I'm not sure which is the more cruel but we can both agree that an ignominious end for the Tigers would be a most fitting demise.

No I would definitely rather Richmond win the flag than Hawthorn. They've had four this century, share it around! Also seeing their title as the only three-peat this decade be under threat would be entertaining to watch
They are so unbearably smug for a team that's won just one GF in 50 years and struggled to even make finals until last year. I appreciate your point but it's hard to decide which one I would least like to win. Hopefully it doesn't come to that and The King's prediction comes true.

I'm glad someone pointed that out.
Can we have exactly the same run, but have WC beat Richmond in a prelim boilover please?

That would be one of the greatest runs to a flag
Wowee your second prediction takes the cake.

Your post was anything but pointless.
