We are NOT That Good

Post: # 2008849Post BradWA »

Players who are VFL std

Howard To Slow reacting.
Paton A deer in the headlights.
Butler One good game in 6 will never be good enough.

Just a few examples


A team will never evolve and win a FLAG for rewarding mediocrity

No team could cover the players of the calibre we had out and have had out all season.

We have done very well considering. If we can beat the Giants, we'll beat Hawthorn, and then we will be in the run to the finals up to our necks.

We never even fooled ourselves into thinking we were THAT good. What a depressing post. I think I’ll go and listen to some Nine Inch Nails to help me cheer up!

Take 17 players out of any list of 40 and see how any of the teams go.
If we win Sunday we ARE that good in my opinion.

What were you expecting on the 15th of March Brad? Are we Gooder or not that Gooder from that date in your expectations?

I think we have been exceptional, considering injuries & a new coaching regimen. I had fingers crossed to sneak into the 8 if everything went perfectly. My fingers are still crossed 🤞

The more players we got back, the worse we got.

Is that a coincidence?

Our best players this season so far have been our first and second year players, but due to Caminiti's suspension and Windy playing in the reserves, this talent has been diluted. We will be a lot better now that we will get back King. RL's teams require a genuine spearhead, otherwise the scoring dries up. Does anybody think we only kick 8 goals against North if we have our forward line in? The loss to Port could have been reversed as well.

Injuries and lack of preparation and conditioning. They are one and the same. If our players hadn't been injured during pre-season and missed mock warfare against Melbourne and Essendon before the season proper they would be a lot better.

Look at how Geelong have come back to the pack, and Swans too.

If we win tomorrow, we will beat the Hawks and then we will be in the fight for the eight up to our necks. But don't kid yourself we will be in the top 4, that is just sophistry. Make the eight; win a final. That should be the supporters' realistic expectation for mine.
