No other side has a winning streak of 2+ games against us.

Carlton are really our rebuilding buddies. We both started building at roughly the same time.

Seeing them implode like they are both warms my heart but also makes me appreciate what we have had the last 6 years. There are no guarantees in this caper.

I wasn't as excited on the day as I thought I would be but in hindsight just elated that we have the monkey off our back in winning a flag because by god we deserved it.

I’m still marveling at Blues fans telling us how shrewd they were taking Chris Yarran over Daniel Rich.

They won the Weitering vs Schache draft, but we won everything since!

Edit: though if i recall correctly we somehow turned Schache into Bailey & Payne, so not a complete loss.

Carlton, Essendon, North...

Just love the way Fish pots St Kilda twice for passing on Logan twice but whining about academies!

You feel, if Lohman hadn’t had such an injury plagued season, he’d be in there as well.

And Henry Smith? Given there wasnt a ruckman in the squad

I still don’t rate Smith as a ruck. Yes, I’m in the minority here.

I don’t think 1-game garners a selection in any “best player” squad.

I don't think you are but Patrick Voss was an option for the ruck spot....

 

[KissKiss]

I think it has a minimum games criteria so they are short on options. Still Voss is a ridiculous one. Read would make more sense

At least we know the team switches on 100% whenever they travel out of Qld. Hopefully that happens this week against Fremantle. If other results go our way we could be back in the top 4.

We don't need other results to go our way, if we beat the Dockers we will be in the top 4 at the end of the round and if the Crows beat the Magpies we will be 3rd... Swans also beat the Cats we will be 2nd.

Huge game this Friday night, a genuine season shaper for both clubs.

Crows 64
Cats 60
Magpies 60
Dockers 60
Lions 58

Seven consecutive seasons in the finals beats the streak of 6 that included the threepeat. A sustained period of success that the team should be proud of.

When was the last time a team played finals seven years in a row?

Geelong had 8 years from 07-14

I mean they’ve barely missed the finals for 20 years

Swans had 9 from 2010-18

Thanks, Nathan.
