We might

Hang on its late and i read it wrong.  Chapman of essendon. We might have done better. Ive noticed he has slowed now and a younger guy can beat him to the ball and negate him.  When he does get it and gets free he is as damaging as always but he is losing it.

Got Chapman, promoted Miles, and played them both instead of... Grigg and Thomas? Yes, we'd be in the 8. Would have won another 1-2 of those close games IMO, such as the Dogs game.

If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts..

If Cotchin had done a knee we wouldn't be where we are now.
If Maric's groin hadn't repaired itself we wouldn't be where we are now.
etc..

I hate these pointless threads.

Chapman was always going to Essendon.  Clubs already knew this.
He wanted to be paired up with his former coach Bomber again.

Thankfully we made one right decision at the end of last year and that decision was to elect not to go after Chapman.

Did WP really edit out the bit where you said they went and drank coke after a game?

Tambling, JON, Meyer
Polo, Lounder, Herman
Pettifer, Steinford, Ryan

ODwyer,

We could have had it all, For my mind I wonder where the club would be if we had kept Maxfield, drafted Pavlich instead of Fiora and just have those 2 instances how the threads of time would have changed

If we could jump into the delorean and just make those 2 changes it would be an interesting exercise BUT unfortunately we have what we have and me writing here in a pointless thread and feeling mean spirited because Carlton got thrashed and I enjoyed every minute of it.
