Less than a week ago some on here were celebrating that we were 4 and 2 and sitting sixth on the ladder. How are they feeling now?
It's the mentality of a team not ready for the hard stuff. Currently, the Eagles are our biggest bridge to cross and we weren't mentally ready. I thought we were ready for the fight, but not up to it. Sadly I was wrong.I think everyone knows that was the weakest Eagles team we've played since 2016, and we failed miserably.
That's the problem.
Too much left to too few
It doesn't feel like consolation for all but I do take some solace out of the fact that so many are contact injuries and not soft tissue. Sure, Young's was bad but even from the weekend, all of Hughes, Chapman and Sturt are contact injuries.I don't mind big losses (less so against WC). Just about every team is having them this year.
It's the injuries to key players, year after year after year which takes away any hope of an improvement next week. There's no 'regathering the troops' when they are lying half dead in the hospital for the next few months. It's something that Freo has failed to fix for the past 5 years or so.

like a pre-serum Steve Rogers that couldn't get a GF, still doesn't get a GF after bulking up because of the large amounts of serum-induced backne (left out by Marvel surprisingly). Same result. Sorry but no solace.It doesn't feel like consolation for all but I do take some solace out of the fact that so many are contact injuries and not soft tissue.

S&C has next to no control of contact injuries, I am/was hoping for some improvements to soft tissue (I don't count Shill because he is perma-broken).
Captain America yeah? I'm way behind on my Marvel.like a pre-serum Steve Rogers that couldn't get a GF, still doesn't get a GF after bulking up because of the large amounts of serum-induced backne (left out by Marvel surprisingly). Same result. Sorry but no solace.
I know I'm not taking my own advice here, and compartmentalising the negative emotions that come with supporting this football team in an effort to stifle their influence on my everyday life....but if we don't achieve a finals berth this year (and I don't think we will), what will the net affect be on membership numbers? How many more years of results that can only be described as "less than middling" can we all withstand?

I reckon we will be bottom 4, and Cerra will want to go home.
Then we re-assess everything.
And that means Walls as well, he hasn't set the world on fire IMO

...This is a glowing endorsement of the rebuildI think we are clearly better than bottom 4.
North
Hawks
Pies (although they could rally)
Crows
Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough to say we are clearly better than anyone else. 14th is the lowest we could finish I'd say.

Pies are in a world of hurt, and to get Daicos, heard another player will go due to salary cap pressure.I think we are clearly better than bottom 4.

No, in all honesty, I agree with you - as much as it's sobering to type out (that we find ourselves in the predicament we are in, not that I agree with you haha).It is what it is.
I could add I think we are better than Essendon and Gold Coast, but I don't say it with conviction which is why I left them out.
If you're being honest, having us higher is not based on anything other than assuming we are special.
Carlton started their rebuild before us and are older and more experienced
GWS have lost a few but still have a ridiculous amount of talent and played in a GF two years ago
Saints played finals last year with the same team
Sydney - academy
There is no good reason we should be better than any of them and I don't think we are (maybe Sydney as the season rolls on).
Otherwise known as Hawthorn syndromeMy favourite part is when peoples opinions of themselves (not their team) increase because their team gets better. A person is smart but **** me some people are dumb.
Bad news, if you were a flog who knew little about football when your team won the spoon, you are probably still a flog who knows little about football when they won the flag.
It's not for salary cap pressure as Daicos is a draftee. It is to get back in the draft since they don't have enough points to cover the bid, so they can only get one draftee next year (Daicos), and next year's first pick will be pushed a long way back from the defecit.Pies are in a world of hurt, and to get Daicos, heard another player will go due to salary cap pressure.
If Bucks goes would he make a good assistant here?
