Interesting. We beat Brisbane. And we lost to Geelong in the first round by 7 points in an inconclusive skirmish at the time.
AFL season is a flowing river. The river is different from what it was at the start of the season. All we can say is: that we were competitive with the top 2 teams. And we are still close to them on the ladder.

After it all, there's 4 teams we couldn't knock off in 2019:
GWS (From two attempts)
Freo (From one attempt)
Hawthorn (From one attempt)
North (From one attempt)
From 5 total attempts, 3 were under a goal. 2 were beltings.

We were the best team in the comp this year, but didn't play well in the wet. Its all gods fault. We would have won by 10 goals on a dry day!!

Yes, we did manage to struggle against some mediocre teams. To be fair, the in-season shocks all happened in a period when our stocks were low. Even so, we struggled sometimes against teams we should have disposed of comfortably (GWS in the preliminary final included) if we were a real contender. |

Funny you say that.
In Corfu I was following the game on my phone, we went to a Monastery, I said a prayer, we won, sent one up more than once in the cats game, won, I begged for a goal on Saturday, we got one, I stood cheered, said thanks and the £$%$er laughed at me and sent it back to the sticks!
So to keep my sanity, we lost because:
It rained and we didn’t cope,
6 walk up 22 were not available, including one of the best AFL players in the league,
The extra bye, the bulldogs won because of it and the extra 250 frees they got that year, let alone in the granny, the tigers started terribly, which at least gave the arsewipes fake hope, haha, and we looked like we hadn’t played for a month. I agree with the talks to scrap it, it only benefits 5-8 which is not right.
The umpires- I said before the game if we ain’t 5 goals clear we will be in trouble. It’s not how many but where the free kicks are, or are not paid. Some teams have more against because they are dirty, the giants a classic example, unfortunately only mummies hits were called in our back half. Danger got a 50 to the goal square for the dive of the century on Friday, Brodie gets pushed into next year, and nothing! In front of goal. He would have kicked it. And the Keefe deliberate out not paid to us in the dying moments. The AFL gottheir dream make no mistake, and if GWS get the breaks on Saturday, the tigers fans might burn the joint down!
And finally, crucially, it seems a couple of our players bought into the we got it easy this week. I’m not naming anyone. But gees, a few were light on for touches.
Bombing into ourforward line wasnt going to work, people forget GWS have a team of champions, 10 foot tall champions, the bullshit draft picks are on show, even in the dry, we would have had trouble, we needed to work the ball closer, I can’t believe that’s not obvious.
Anyhow. I don’t like wishing my life away but I’ll be bloody glad when this week is done and dusted. No result will make me happy, but I hope GWS win on the back of the worst umpiring decisions ever seen!
And with that remark, obviously I’m resigned to going to hell!
