'Aint that the truth.
Fair dinkum, I bet you very few people own mirrors as that is never looked at when blame is directed. They blame everyone but themselves these days. |

In 2009 we had made the finals the previous 3 seasons leading into it, and then were a clear top 4 team in 2009.
In 2016 we, even without injuries, were at best a bottom of the 8 side, if not outside the 8.
If anything it's more like 2005 and 2006. 2005 was 2016 almost, a team that had some talent but wasn't fully devleoped yet, and had a bad run with injuries.
So 2017 at absolute best will be like 2006, a finals appearance, but as a 5th-8th placed side.
You're absolutely dreaming if you think we can go from absolutely balls out sucking for the last 3 seasons to being a top 4 side.
I'll be stoked, absolutely stoked if we win more games then we lose next season, I still see it as a developmental year after stuffing up so much from 2012-2016.
My expectations may be seen as low by most, but they are realistic. |
Your expectations are pessimistic not realistic. As for me, mine are optimistic, but that's just the way I roll. I'm predicting us to finish 4-6 on the ladder. We'll find out one way or another in about 8 months I guess. |
Respect your views RB but just saying that I made the very same prediction the last 4 years and was way off. Once, twice thrice, four times bitten, l twice shy but that's just for me. I have no problems with others speculating or guessing about end of season finishes. Can be a lot of fun.
I just hate it when I get something so very wrong for four bloody years, both in life and footy.... |
Yup
Remember winning those three preseason games? How excited were we?
Til we lost swanny forever, and got our arses handed to us on a platter
The only thing I take from last year, is I saw improvement in Pendles as a captain, I still remember me and half a bottle of scotch saying that first round 'Pendles ain't a captains arsehole!'
I think we have a great team, but I have very low expectations, TBH, but I'm more than happy to be proven wrong! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Ditto

Totally agree TP.
Nothing is certain irrespective of how hard we speculate, guess or predict!
I'm on the HOPE bandwagon -
