We had to win 4 out of 5. We now have to win 4 out of 4. Giants back in form. We need to stand up and deliver next week. One game at a time from here.

Really expected us to be playing finals by 2020. Bit concerned about recent drafting.

I'm not sure our list is in better shape than it was in 2008, fair bit of work to do

Really?

This is the best list we have had in as long as I can remember, and it will continue to improve with both talent added and internal growth.

No need to be condescending. Yes I meant what I said.

I think if you go back and look at our list in 2008 it looks just as good. It's easy to see how we were all so optimistic, and saying the exact same thing you've said there about it being our best list for a long time.

Obviously then we botched a few drafts and it didn't quite come together. Some people can't help but feel relentlessly optimistic, and I guess I'm the opposite in that I can't help but feel a bit of a sense of dread about repeating this.

Not being condescending at all, just genuinely surprised you're so down on the list which IMO is in very good shape.

Result today was disappointing, but we have made significant strides forward in 2020, and there is plenty of improvement to come.

2008 we had some very good footballers, but nowhere near the depth we are building now which is critical.

I agree in that I like the look of our list, feels like it should be good. But then GWS's list looks like it should have bagged a premiership.

Proof is in the pudding and we just can't get it done.

We've had one of the leagues best mids for 7 years and he is no closer to playing in a final let alone in a premiership team.

Just very disappointing and I hope I can turn my back on this club because the same conversations will be had in 5 years.

No closer than what?

It won't happen, but with 4 games left in 2020 we are still a chance to play finals. We will likely finish in the 9-12 bracket, a game or two outside the 8.

And yet apparently we're no closer than we were to playing finals than 2 seasons ago when we finished on 2 wins?

Please.

I get you are disappointed after today, we all are, but this is just silly.

We had a dozen very good footballers in 2008. I'm not so down on our list. Who'd have guessed Grigg would be the premiership player?

I'm far less disappointed about our loss today than I am just about the team achieving below expectations. I'm sure most would've expected us to be playing finals by now
