Essendon are just as fragile as us.I think we lose to GWS and Essendon. Being a mentally fragile side doesn't just vanish
If they lose to west coast and Geelong, they'll give up for the rest of the year.

Brilliant afternoon that one. Spent a bunch of cash on some fancy corporate box w***ery, walked into the G and barely made it to the escalator before the stitches holding my face together after a drunken accident split open. Was on my way to hospital before the first bounce. Doubled down on the pain and humiliation by watching the game on my phone while being sewed up again. Carn Dees.Don't think I could bare to watch if we had to beat Essendon to make the 8, I've still got ptsd from THAT weekend in 2017.
This.Yeah Freo is a real danger game because they can easily smash us in the midfield. Coaches need to come prepared. However they put in some shockers when they were in Queensland last time so hopefully the hub destroys them again
I'll likely be proven wrong when they thump us ... but playing Freo in Perth is a different proposition than playing them in Cairns.Yeah Freo is a real danger game because they can easily smash us in the midfield.

We’ve beaten three of the five teams we beat in 2019 again in 2020. Sydney and Freo are the other two. Would be a ******* shame to lose to them this year.I'll likely be proven wrong when they thump us ... but playing Freo in Perth is a different proposition than playing them in Cairns.
If we can't beat Freo or Sydney on neutral ground, then f### this club. Both those clubs have nothing to play for either. GWS are a different proposition. They are dangerous and have the outside players that worry us. I think we drop that one. So yeah, it might come down to the Bombers game. That doesn't instil me with any confidence at all. Yes, Bombers will probably be out of the race then, but we have a poor record in these situations. And i can see Daniher, Stringer etc excelling when playing wth the freedom of not having finals hanging over there head. The last round always has some strange results. Will be Wooshas last game too, so i can see us sh##ing the bed on that one.

Has a point though. You can see Essendon just turning it on for a game that doesn’t matter to send off Worsfold with players playing out of their skin for a contract. They’ll be players wanting to impress Rutten. It’s a game we need to win. The final round throws up weird results, who’d have picked WC smashing Adelaide in 2017? It happens every single year.This is an impressive mini-melt about things that have not, and may not happen
Had completely blocked it out of my mind so I just looked it up.Don't think I could bare to watch if we had to beat Essendon to make the 8, I've still got ptsd from THAT weekend in 2017.
No but think the tick is important for a few reasons especially around player retention.I have absolutely no faith that we will do enough to make the 8. We are not a good footy team and are supremely inconsistent.
If we did make the 8 I think it would be 1 and done.
Realistically does anyone think we can seriously challenge if we make finals?
I kinda agree, we need to keep our good players and top up in areas of need. But... I agree with A11dAtP0w3R that longer term Goody isn't the guy for us - he hasn't shown enough learnings or growth for mine.No but think the tick is important for a few reasons especially around player retention.
It's probably the worst result in reality. Buys Goody time for meeting the minimum and costs us draft pick currency.
Meandering in mid table mediocrity.
Lol what about the 10,000 members who dropped off 2019 into 2020? You don't think making finals, even if it's 7 or 8 and having the limelight is important to them?It's probably the worst result in reality. Buys Goody time for meeting the minimum and costs us draft pick currency.

******* oath I want the boys to play finals. If they get west coast in Perth, so be it. I'd rather they get 14 days between the Essendon game and the final for media to speak about us as finalists.
Membership, sponsorship, commercial draw in 2021...
Mid table mediocrity, what the hell does that even mean. Someone has to finish 7th-12th. We've had a 9th finish once, then 5th and 17th. Hardly "mid table mediocrity" if it's a one off. You talk about draft position yet we don't have a first rounder this year and our first crack is Hawks second rounder. We just hit 3 players that (Clarry aside) have shown more in their first year than anyone in nearly a decade.
The biggest disappointment of this year will be not being in the crowd when they play the first final. If you don't think making finals is important to 40,000 dees members and probably another 20,000 supporters outside that who are locked down at the moment, then fu** me it's the smallest minded opinion I could think of.
