If we make it to the GF I'm torn between my usual long walk when interstate games are on and discovering the outcome and a terror that I might miss a once in a lifetime come from behind flag!
I watched the Demons DVD on their flag season and it was so depressing. All of the home and away footage was in front of empty stands and then they win the flag in Perth. Yuk It was on tv. I didn't buy it!
My mother never believed the pies would win a game. The 1980 gf taught me the wisdom of her ways. I didn't expect us to beat Melbourne, there is a sense of shame in that. Nevertheless the joy of victory eclipses all. I am not going to get wound up yet, happy to bask in the talent shown in what has been a series of quality games. Lock in the double chance first, then dare to dream.
Just one more win to lock in the double chance. Preferably two wins to guarantee we don’t travel interstate for th3 QF.

Buckley said that this was a cumulative process of being in it for a number of years. Really, this is like one final hurrah for the 2018 crew that's still quite capable of winning with help from new recruits. I watched the 2019 qualifying final highlights to refresh my memory and we were impressive during that standoff. We're a higher scoring team, playing more free footy now so hopefully it results in success.

I keep wondering what if in regards to the age of our top players and those wasted years of the boring bucks game plan. The “rebuild” after 2011 because he couldn’t deal with certain players who were some of our best and the refusal to change until his actual job was on the line.
I haven’t enjoyed a season more than this year ever. To think players like AJ will only get better. We need to strike this year with a premiership as Pendles, sidey, Howe etc are close to the end, they’re still playing well so now is the time.

Better start playing Ollie Henry too. 16 might be our lucky number.

We are a bunch of kids and vets that's for sure, but I'm coming around to the prospect that we're in a sustainable window, it's really only Pendles, Sidey and Howe that need to be replaced with elite level players and then find a Roughy replacement, and if we are honest none of them are playing as well as they were in 2018 and yet we were still 2nd on the ladder last week, if enough of Henry McInnes Macrea etc come through and some of our speculative trades like Kreuger Johnson etc come good with the Hill's McStay's Frampton's and hopefully another quality mid like Taranto who knows
