I heard on sen this morning that no team has ever made the 8 after being 1-3. If that's true it's likely season over this week unless we beat those pricks

That's horsecrap.  North won a flag after starting 0-4 in 1975 - that's just one occasion I can recall off the top of my head.

Our start to 1980 was pretty pee poor IIRC.

Started with a win, a loss and a draw, then 11 straight wins so wasn't too bad.  Would have been nice to do that this season!   :'(

We're the most dishonest side in the AFL at present.
I was actually angry watching our 3rd qtr intensity on Saturday. Where the f*** was that intensity in the first half ? We are playing with intensity in fits and spurts. That's just dishonest football and every team ( bar Melbourne ) will beat us playing this way.
Have a look at an honest team like Geelong. They bring it all game , every game regardless of the score or the opposition.

Lol Wayne.  I noticed that after I posted and thought the same thing - we are actually almost in the exact same spot.  Let's see how our ride to 11 straight wins starting on Friday goes.   ;D

Some cheats in our lot that's for sure.

Was only top 5 in 1975, not top 8.

Which makes it an even more outlandish statement!   :o
