Well G. Lyon doesn't think we'll play finals.
I guess we've been spoiled playing the number of consecutive final series we have and have probably started to take it for granted if we're honest.
I dare say we'll miss not being part of September, even if it's only for a week like last year.
Got to be in it to win it and given how we're traveling right now actually playing finals and putting ourselves in with the chance of winning one would make this season almost feel like a successful one.
You don't often appreciate what you've got until it's gone.

We're a chance alright. What shits me looking at the ladder now is we didn't win one or two of the; Gold Coast, Bulldogs or scum games... we'd be top 4 NOW, playing well below our best.

2002 - we were not given a chance away against Port who were full of confidence - our team was probably lucky to make the top 4 and almost won the flag when the Lions were at their peak!
If a team is ever going to win from low in the 8... I hope it is the Pies this year - we need some of the young guys such as Thomas, Adams, Sidey, Kennedy, Witts and Beams to hit their straps and our young backs - Langdon, Marley, Seedsman, Keefe and Frost to play with flair and aggression. If Reid and White can provide some support to our forward guns Cloke and Elliot our fwd set up could be very damaging. I expect our more senior players Pendles, Tooves, H, Goldy etc will make a statement against the crow eaters to get the ball rolling!
Lots of ifs and a massive change is needed from our last month - but young players with confidence and the 'no fear' underdog status could do it!
Swans have had a great couple of months - but I sense a dip is coming... leaving this year wide open. |
Man we played a shit hot game in that QF; every time I watch the replay I think it really was textbook football in all 4 quarters, nothing scrappy about it. We would have won the flag if we played as well on the Big Day

Yeah, I like to stick my neck out as usual and say that we will finish somewhere in the 5 – 8 positions. My gut feelings make me quite confident of this happening. 
I also think we will see a rejuvenated Collingwood this Sunday who will beat Adelaide.  |

Do all those things and we can do it. |
So what you are saying is we cant win it because there is buckleys chance that we will sack him and you know it. Its a shame you cant just support this thread, when all that was said was that we are a chance, that's all.
By the way its Scharenberg, and we should not be trying to dodge the Hawks, like we are scared of them, just face them & flog them fair and square.

See thats why its much harder being a "perceptive fellow" as you aren't on a winner either way. Predict we're going downhill and voice the displeasure about traveling in that direction - get lambasted and labeled a troll, your prediction comes to fruition - get accused of being happy about our lamentable state.
But when you're a glass half full, positive sack you can post any tripe and get away with it.
Mods, I demand a pay rise for the likes of me and defender.
Having said that I reckon I'm still a chance of putting one through Mila Kunis. |

2 THINGS
1. speak English - tl:dr ??? GLYASDI ????
2. Why don't you love me? I think you also love Collingwood, but why are you so negative all the time?? At the start of the year most would have said we would finish 5 - 8 and that's probably where we will finish, so whats the prob. We have a very young, inexperienced list, especially our defence and rucks, give them time we will reap the benefits next year.
Add Scharenberg, Freeman, Karnezis, Oxley, Broomhead, Reid, Brown, Fasolo, Elliott to the mix, possibly Moore and next years intake. Plus another pre season into Grundy, Witts, Langdon, Kennedy, Frost and Keefe. Even you, Defender, must see the light at the end of the tunnel. Chill out!!! |
