Imagine him at Collingwood or Adelaide for a few years? You’d not blame him.Yeah his best years are gone now and his body is clearly banged up. What a waste of a career. Could have gone down as an all time great if he played for a club like Geelong or Sydney.
yep, Parish may be very very close by then although not rushing him back, having him would be bloody handy v CarltonCurnow and McKay vs Laverde and BZT is nightmare fuel especially if Carlton can win the centre clearances
Comp is a lot more even then it was then. Expect them to yo-yoHave they arrived or is it a North 2014/2015 type false dawn aka finish bottom half of top 8, win a couple of finals and get flogged in a preliminary final?
Melbourne 2018 is another good comparison.Comp is a lot more even then it was then. Expect them to yo-yo
Regardless of what happens next week to make a Prelim and finish Top 4 at seasons end is a massive achievement from where we were mid year.Have they arrived or is it a North 2014/2015 type false dawn aka finish bottom half of top 8, win a couple of finals and get flogged in a preliminary final?

They haven't been convincing but I did like their approach in the last couple of minutes. The attitude to win better than last year. A fair way off Brisbane in all likelihood but gotta be on it to win it, and they are still in it.Have they arrived or is it a North 2014/2015 type false dawn aka finish bottom half of top 8, win a couple of finals and get flogged in a preliminary final?
100 %The more I think about it, the more I think this list should be primed for success.
They've got either the best or the second best key forward combination in the comp. A very deep midfield. A pretty stacked defence. Even their weaknesses (speed, wing/half-forward stocks) look closer to being addressed. I have no idea why their side was so placid earlier in the year. With what they've got they absolutely should be contending for flags for the next 2-3 years.
North ran into a cooked Geelong and a broken down Sydney in their semi finals. Melbourne are much better than either of them in their respective semi finals.Have they arrived or is it a North 2014/2015 type false dawn aka finish bottom half of top 8, win a couple of finals and get flogged in a preliminary final?
Taken a while for all that to actually properly gel though, plus injuries interfering of course.The more I think about it, the more I think this list should be primed for success.

Have they arrived?
We all knew they were coming.
Also,
We could smell what they were cooking, is the cream finally rising to the top?
Consistency
So it’s more an arbitrary vibe thing
And we could just as easily be 9-0.They could just as likely be 2-7 right now and in the bottom 4 without a great run of luck in close ones at the moment.
Need to see them winning with some certainty before they are considered contenders.
