Well i've seen alot on TV and in the paper and everyone is writing us off from making the finals. I mean we are like 1 win from the eight. It's really pissing me off:mad:

I dont know why people are shocked. Currently we have injuries and are losing while other around us are winning. It is no wonder people are writing us off.
 
If we can win 11 games for the season it would be a good result, finals in my opinion this year are pretty much gone.

It happens to pretty much every team, it is the media after all
 
we have injures and a tough run to the finals, the finals looks to be slipping away from our grasp
All vailid comments.....but it's good to fly under the radar......excess positive media attention may not always be good........take geelong.......people are saying they will the AFL premiership, VFL premiership, rising star, and brownlow......thats a heapload of preassure and expectations......imagine if they DON"T win??????
 
I am struggling to work out the problem..this was ALWAYS going to be a rebuilding year, the fact that we were in the 8, has meant we have exceeded expectations. This year was to give the youngsters more experience.

The meeeeedia will be the first to stick the boots in don't you worry about that!

For the record ... we're GORN!
 
I see that Essendon supporters are no different to those from other teams, that is, one-eyed, without an ounce of objectivity.

Surely a betting person would bet that Essendon won't make top 8. We'd do well to win 4 more games, but even that probably won't be enough.

Collingwood are safe, only play 1 top 8 side (Sydney at the MCG).

Sydney are not safe and we might even finish a game clear of them.

Adelaide don't have an easy run, so if we're any chance, we have to beat them in Round 17.

Maybe we can catch the Bulldogs, but we badly need a big win somewhere our else we could miss 8th on percentage alone.
 
Not playing finals this year does not in particular bother me so much as it was considered an exceptional outcome at the start of the season and we are in a rebuilding phase.

Having said that, i want them to make the finals more than ever so that hirdys last game is not a likely loss against west coast at subi.

Who gives a F*** what they have to say!!!!!

Hey, more power to them. Who really cares what they say?

All we can do is keep winning (or start winning again!), but it's going to be tough. I only see us winning maybe 3-4 for the rest of the year, and I don't know that that's enough. Still, it's better than 15th.

If they get in the finals...come on, who wouldn't be happy with that after last year's performance? Ecstatic even?
