Clearly a plop.
The expectation for us this year was to improve and in footy the only improvement that matters is on the scoreboard.
Fact is we have a worse year than last year when viewed by results.
-
Got worse - no room for 9 in a row delusions at year's end. Time to count fail and make the call.
-
Sadly, it's a plop from me too.
Topping up with Hampstring and Thomas suggested early that we
were heading down a dodgy road.
Allowing Morris to play the season with a kfc arm, losing Ivan early to what was nothing more than bad injury management, the continuing revelation of conca being average at best, etc etc.
Sunday's loss confirms the club has learned nothing from a torrid 12 month period.

Agree with most points. I think Conca's judgement year is next year. He needs a huge preseason to lose the puppy fat. He didn't have a preseason after ripping his hamstring practically off the bone last year. No excuses next year.

It's either a qualified plop or a qualified tick.
Take your pick - it's Commanding Jewel in the Cox Plate, a good each way bet.
First back to back finals in 40 years along with a 9 game winning streak including away wins in perth, Adelaide and Sydney with 3 wins over top 8 sides tells you something.
The 3 and 10 start and yesterday tells you the flip side.
I will give it 12 months.
-
Neither.
Some weak as pee spot in between the two options
-
Plop. Simply can't excuse the first 13 rounds, then get all excited at finals only to be completely smashed and brought back to how we played during the first half of the season...

Three toilet full of poo for me.
You don't play that crap for 13 weeks, it's totally unacceptable.
And there's no point in making the finals if you don't give it a red hot crack once your in.
It's good though they addressed some issues around the club. Hopefully the club has learnt some things about how rubbish they really are and the hard work that's required to achieve success.
Let's not be satisfied with just making finals.

The Skata Cycle 32 years and still counting.™©®

50% plop at the first part of the season
40% tick for the last nine games
10% plop for the Poot fiasco
Overall it's a plop
-
Tick. Back to back finals means we are doing something right. A hell of a lot better than we have for the last decade and probably 30 years. It means we are for the first time we have a system in place that is working. Its clearly a work in progress and we nearly stuffed it with Hamspud and the top up mentality but hopefully this year and the finals pointed out our weaknesses and how we need to keep building and developing. If only one thing comes out of they year it has to be No shortcuts.
-
Plop!
Hardwick's inability to blood talent and change the game plan to an attacking hard running style.
Back-to-back horrible final losses!
In the past 6 quarters of finals we have conceeded 32 goals, kicked only 15 goals. You could take the last quarter v Port Adelaide and in 5 quarters conceeded 31 goals and kicked 10 ourselves.
We lose against quick, hard running, pressuring teams!

What talent are you talking about that is in the ressies that should have been blooded
Did you watch the change in game plan in the last nine games or do you have memory issues

outside of Miles not much has changed to our starting 22.
Where are the new kids coming through from second round onwards.
We are starved of talent at our footy club and players like Conca are rubbish
-
If you were to tell me 4 years ago that by now we'd be going off about failing (albeit miserably) back to back finals rather than perennial bottom 4 then I'd take it and run. Could be worse, could be Melbourne.

Think it's time people started to face the cold hard reality that Conca over Heppell is right up there with Tambling over Franklin and Fiora over Pavlich....

That's a very balanced perspective. Im still leaning towards plop though.
-
Big plop.
Only way to win a tick from me would be to play two finals matches. Either by winning an Elim or losing a qual.
Came so close to winning a tick but blew it yesterday.
-
Neither
A "holding pattern"
Terrific, just terrific TM
-
Plop from me, IF we had a real dip at the very least I may have considered a pass.
But I said all along we needed to win at least one final!

Correct.
And Griffiths over Fyfe.

Overall the season has been a failure. Losing to Melbourne and the Bulldogs was just not good enough. Losing to those sides meant we lost the opportunity of a home final. Miles was one of the few positive developments this year.

That is a bit rough as 17 other teams passed over Fyfe too! I can't remember anybody spewing that we didn't pick up Fyfe at the time!!
Hindsight.......

It's almost there, I'm just hoping he has a good year next year and we can chalk this year down to the fact he practically didn't have a hamstring for the pre season. Time will tell but it's certainly on it's way :-\

Fair enough, a minor PLOP then ;D
