Amazing the difference Deledio has made. Underrated all his career. Would seem his time out last year and this year will demonstrate how good he really is come the end of his career. "Career-defining"

Must be time to Bin the Bin man, something wrong when you can't enjoy the simple pleasure of winning a game of footy for a day or two.Ian4 said:
To finish top 4 this year, we would need to win at least 11 of the next 14 matches.
We have Freo twice, plus Sydney and Hawthorn.
Before we think about that, we need to beat Essendon and then travel to Perth on Friday night to make a statement by beating an (hopefully) unbeaten Dockers. It would be great just to have that carrot of Top 4 to keep everyone working hard when the season slows down near the end of the year.
What do we need to get out of season 2015? A finals win? ...We need the players to believe they're close to a flag... whatever that entails. Then they can enter 2016 dreaming big and genuinely believing it's possible to become the best.

Just watched the replay.
Fantastic game by the team.
Martin and Jack great. Also Mc Intosh very good and Maric great.
Grimes tough and Griff excellent for forward structure.
Finally have the right mix.
Young and old, speed and toughness.
We are better as a tough hard contested team and should play this way every week.Menadue 100 % winner. Never drop him.
Eliis fantastic and both C Ellis and Mendaue need to stay for development.
Finally......the mix is right.
Mc Bean to come in. Just need Lennon to get fit.
Vlas also very good,his type of game. So happy to finally see us play good footy.

Yeah, let's not go through that again.
I have mixed feelings about 2013 & 2014, despite the finals.
THIS year: how about we finish 6th or better and win our final?
And We don't rely on our opponents resting their best six players, so that we can qualify.
And we don't blow a final that we are winning, to a team that should have been on holidays.
Since the Suns and giants have been in the comp, qualification for 8th place has been settled by about 12 wins and %.
So thinking conservatively, you should qualify with 13 wins.
We've got 4 wins.
We need another 9.
At this stage we have 3 opponents in the bottom 4.
Saints, Suns and Carlton.
Beat those and we've got 7 wins.
3 more opponents 9th to 14.
Essendon x 2 & North.
That's 10.
So we need to knock off three opponents currently in the top 8.
We've got FREO WCE & Giants all on the MCG.
Golden opportunities.
SO FOR 13 wins
R9 v Essendon WIN 5
R10 v Freo. (Away). LOSS
R11 V WCE. MCG. WIN 6
R12 v Sydney. LOSS
R13 Giants. MCG. WIN 7
R14 v Carlton Win 8
R15 v Saints WIN 9
R16 v FReo. MCG. WIN 10
R17 v Hawks. LOSS
R18 v Crows. LOSS
R19 v Suns WIN 11
R20 v Collingwood. LOSS.
R21 v Essendon WIN 12
R 22 v North. WIN 13.

I am if it means we see a repeat of the last 2 years and the club doesn't regenerate the list.

not me. my mind is made up and I want Dimma goneski, even if we win a final (which we won't).
TigerMasochist said:
says the person who calls themselves called 'tiger masochist' :hihi
but yeah, I take your point and I did enjoy the win a little bit... but after making the finals the last 2 years, seeing the same thing in 2015 won't cut it for me. I used to say that I don't care if we make the 8 and get flogged by 100 points as long as we make it... but after 2 years of finals, the only thing that will satisfy me now is a flag. and we are miles away from it.
