i was ron about menzel

fort we should have delisted him
That was hardly a lonely club to be fair.
Neither was the should keep him club.

In this instance the former shouldn't be ridiculed by the latter as it was hardly a delusional stance to take, a fair effort to make it back and beat those odds.

I was wrong about Joel Selwood struggling this year, I was wrong about Richmond finishing top 4 (very wrong), but I was right about Scott Selwood not playing till after the halfway mark of the season. Hardly devastated to be wrong about those two predictions but thought I'd at least own up to it.

I'll join you on Richmond top 4. Wowee have they been schizenhousen
 
I remember at the start of the year that I said Jimmy is no longer in our best 22.

Was a mile off. :oops:
Kudos for the hand up on that one. Quite a few others really should be here saying the same.
 
I was convinced Menzel was finished.

I held out no hope for his return, and was completely certain that even if he made any sort of a comeback, it would be as a shell of the player he was.

Menzel circa 2016 has proven otherwise.

He's still a week to week proposition - but I was far too pessimistic and admit I was wrong.

Also wrong about Richmond finishing above Quivorir but not wrong about Norf being pretenders. That is a fact.

How is it fact? We beat all the teams we should have beat except for Port Adelaide.

You lost to Carlton, St Kilda and Collingwood. If anything were are exactly where we should be and real.

You won 10 in a row and then lost to the following contenders: Sydney, Hawfs, Geelong, Adelaide and West Coast.

If I hazard a guess I'd say you are 2 wins and 5 losses against the top 8? Not good for a premiership contender and therefore make Norf are a pretender.

Who said we were premiership contenders? The media were never on board for our streak so certainly not them. I am a firm believer this was our last shot before rebuild but with the likes of Geelong, Sydney and Hawks going up another level that door shut pretty quickly.

the funny part about this discussion is that North Melbourne will end up progressing further than Geelong in September :$
Based on what exactly. We actually can beat contenders :$

They have to make it to September first....
I got no doubt we will make it. But passing Geelong would require us to get very lucky a 3rd year in a row.

I was wrong in waking her up too early.
I was wrong in making the coffee too strong.
I was wrong because I picked blue socks.
I was wrong about the weather.
I was wrong because I drove too fast.
I was wrong because I got caught in the slow lane.
I was wrong to cuss at them.
Oh, and I was wrong again because I follow Geelong.

:D
